It's been forever since I've been to the blog. But I'm back!
We had a great time in LA and got to see a lot of family and friends. The babies did quite well on the airplane each way. But they both are suffering from colds and poor Libby gagged herself and threw up alllll over me on the way home. It was awful. The flight attendant was so helpful in handing us like 1 napkin. Thanks. And since we were in the back row, a man waiting in line for the bathroom offered to help, too. As I was covered-- all over my shirt and pants (yeah, but none on the seat or wall whatsoever-- just all on me), I looked at him as if to say, "Thanks, but no thanks." Poor guy was only trying to help. And I saw him with his wife and 3 kids at baggage claim. So at least he could relate to throw up. Luckily, Darrell carried on a fleece zip-up jacket, so I wore that as a shirt home. I looked great.
Now we're back to work and to our routine and all is going well. Drew has been going through some strange moaning and whimpering at night. He just wants to make sure we're still here. As soon as you enter the nursery and stand by his crib, he stops. Wierd. And so not like him at all. Guess he's realizing just who we are! But I'm sure it will pass.
I'm still a little nervous about them not sitting quite yet. They are 9 months old tomorrow and most babies have done it by 6 mos. I know my siblings and I all sat late, but still. It will be so much easier to sit them down to play! That sounds horrible-- like I want them to do it for my own selfish reasons. Ok, partly true. They can both sit for about 30 seconds and then PLOP on their face, back, or side. Not even trying to catch themselves. Their sitter Brenda says not to worry since they're getting better each day. She practices a lot with them, so that's good.
Gotta run and do a few Cayenne Paper orders, but have already posted some of the 500+ photos we took over the holidays. By the way, we LOVE our new camera. We got the Nikon D40 (thanks for the recommendation, G and P!) and it's great. I feel like the paparazzi since it's so fast. Much better than our old digital camera. It was tooo slow and we never caught those quick moments you see with babies.
wow you are so brave to take them to LA! I am cautious going to Target - lol!
ReplyDeleteSorry Libby had a throwing up episode!
And Nicholas did that moaning stuff too sometimes, and still does. When I go in and rock him sometimes I think his tummy is a little upset because I can feel gurgles in there. Other times he toots. And then sometimes I think it is his teething.
It sounds like they are really close to sitting. Mine did the tipping over right before they started. And it seems like it happens over night too!
I know it is hard not to worry!
Same here with Brody - at least once a night he will wake up moaning. I'm not even sure he wakes up. It's more of a happy moan though, so I don't know what the deal with that is.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Brody didn't sit until 9 months (maybe a little later). It's hard not too worry - but like Jill said it does seem to just happen over night. It's like they just get it.
Hi Katie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting on my blog. I couldn't reply via email so I thought I'd post a reply to your question about our little tub here. We got it at Babies R Us. We've only used it a couple of times though. We pretty much still bathe them in their baby tub in the kitchen sink because the bathtub kills my back. They love to splash in the big tub so I feel like a meanie when I tell them not to splash in the kitchen. :(
I agree...it's hard not to worry, especially when one does things that the other doesn't do yet. Hang in there...they will be sitting up before you know it!
