Thread: swine flu concern?

That is a tough one...also depends on the price limit. I've done that kind of exchange with family before but it's always been just as a fun $5 limit kind of thing. I like the movie/popcorn/blockbuster card kind of thing. there's always sausage and cheese for something easy. like pp said you can't go wrong with wine...maybe with an opener and little glass tags and cheese? something like that? let us know what you end up...

I stopped counting ds's words at around 25-30...that was at 18 months. I would say he knows several hundreds of words, though. He just started 3-4 word sentences about a month ago. He knows all the letters of the alphabet, capital and lower case, counts to 15 in English and 8 in Spanish (except he misses siete!). This is all a fairly recent development, though. Really, within the last 2-3 months he's had a huge spurt of development....

We have elefun and the girls love this game and the new limbo is also a lot of fun.I want to get the inside hopscotch for christmas.

He's sleeping =) Thanks for the ideas. I'm in a?med sized?two bedroom apt and I guess gates didn't come to mind for some reason. Though it's a good idea to try. His room is actually the living room, since MIL has the other. I did notice last night that he has some teeth coming in, which is probly adding to the erratic behavior that is kind of tipping me over the scale lately. He does the squishing his head between my legs...

Don't worry so much about developmental milestone lists. If your son can stack things, that's the important thing, i.e. having the dexterity to do that. If he's not interested in playing with those things, there is no reason to make him do it.

Just read that baby Josie was born last night 4 months early weighing only 1pd and some ounces. How sad and scary.? Keep them in your prayers!

any pre ejaculate has sperm in it, so yes it is possible. are you breasfeeding? that is like a half form of BC. but hey my gf got preggo while breastfeeding. It could be too if you are breastfeeding your uterus is still shrinking? I know its been a few months but it could be possible, that could explain the peeing, again if you are breastfeeding and drinking a lot to keep yourself hydrated, well you will pee a lot too. I suggest taking an...

Our LO's are asserting their independence right now. I have the same battle with my DD at times. But if I don't put her hair up she can't see. What I do is let her have some choices. We have two brushes and two combs. She gets to pick one of each for me to use. I also let her pick out which hair ties to use, we have tons for her to pick from, sometimes I get lucky and they match her outfit other days, well...If she is still...

your def not alone!!and we dont spank at all or rarely do time-outs....for discipline we usually get down to his level and talk to him firm and make him fix whatever he did wrong like pick up his cars or pick up whatever he threw....and then distraction...so we were stumped on where he got that too! Jr started hitting himself about 2 months ago and its on and off like when hes really mad or when he gets embarressed.... an example of him...

I don't think that's a bad idea about letting him play by himself but IMHO I would feel a little more comfortable setting up gates or something and you being in the next room so he could still see you?? It's a bit dramatic to be locking yourself away from him if you've always played and been with him previously. ?
