Jodi-Looks like the party was a lot of fun. Did you have two cakes?
JBS-I live in Kitchener. I have family out your way in Kingston and Ottawa.
MomtoRee-I just weaned Hannah from the morning feed. Until now she wanted to be feed somewhere between 5-6 am.  Once I weaned the feed I decided I wouldn't feed her before 6 am. It was rough for a few days but she sleeps until 6 now....well most of the time and if  she is up before I try to put her back to sleep.
Lindsey-WHen you say you write everything down, what do you mean...food, sleep times, diaper changes????
Colesmom-Hannah's favourite is the fischer price farm and zoo.

Well sleep here is non existent. I can see 3 teeth so hopefully they will cut and we will have some sweet dreams again. Hannah stood for 5-10 seconds by herself and now she is doing it all the time.

Went to visit her day care...WHAT a nightmare I had this planned since she was 3 months old. This place came highly recommended by people from work. Did some research and comparisons and we decide that it was the best place to put Hannah. Well we showed up at 8:30 in the morning and went to the toddler room just for a quick visit. THings seemed well organized and everyone looked happy. THen the owner took us to where hannah would be and she just chose two tots to come with us. Well the room was filled with antiques which were blocked off by toys..who's kidding who no little toy is going to stop a determine baby from getting to those things if they wanted to. The room was sooooo small and she was going to have 4 babies in there (inc. her own twins). To top it off one tot was playing a game with her 13 month old son. WHo would cruise to something he wasn't supposed to touch and then the 3 yr old would go pick him up and bring him back.....She thought this was funny. And this is what is going on when I am there.  The tots were trying to pick hannah up too....needless to say I left and called DH crying saying am not putting hannah in there and would stay home until we found something better.

What an experience

traci-your scrapbook page sounds awesome!  i know it sounds simple, but right now gianna's favorite toys are balls.  also, she is really into her push toys (where she stands behind it and pushes or it can convert  into a ride on toy...it was like $20 at target)...hmmm, she also likes books with flaps that she can lift and look under.  HTH.

ange-yes, i write EVERYTHING down.  (yes, i am anal!)  i did it for so long at my former jobs, i just did it with gianna without even thinking.  at first we just started out writing down the poops and feeds when she was a newborn, and just never stopped.  it's actually been really helpful in seeing patterns.  it only takes a couple mins each day.  sorry about the day care!  that is a bummer.  but you are smart to go with your instinct and not leave her there if you don't feel right about it.  i hope you find something soon that will work for you.  have you thought of a nanny?

phoebe-i forgot to congratulate susana on her first steps.  has she continued trying to walk?

Hey ladies!  Can't believe that I hadn't seen this thread before; don't think I have ventured over to the EASY forum though....  Anyway, my little man will be one in about a week.  Not sure how that happened.  This will be fun to touch base about other toddlers the same age.   :D   Hope it's okay if I horn in on your post this late!

Ange, yes we had two cakes. It wasnt planned that way but when my husband came home from picking up her care bears cake Publix had sent him home with a small round vanaila cake that said happy 1st morgan! I was so happy!!!! This way she could make a mess out of it and do whatever she liked.
Sorry about the daycare, gonna look for a different one?

Ange - That's heartbreaking about the daycare.  When do you have to go back to work???  So far, we like our daycare.  By the way, I live in Napanee, 1/2 hr from Kingston...

Looks like Morgan had a wonderful birthday party...We are starting to think of Connors.

One of Connor's molars is almost in, the front side is it, and the back side is poking through..geez, they are huge!!!.  The one of the other side is starting as well.  I think he has a cold.  I don't know if it's due to the teeth or just a cold.

Connor has become very active, he's crawling and pulling himself up to standing. Ever since he fell out of the crib, he's been obsessed with standing.  I guess it didn't scare him!.  I can't wear him out!!...he plays, and plays and plays!!!...I took him to playgroup today to try to wear him out a little, and I was the only mom who what chasing their little kids across the room constantly, and he didn't even care if I was there.  In a crowded room of at least 30+ parents and babies, he went to the other side of the room and started playing without even looking once to see if I was around!!!  He has his own toyroom which has been helpful..he will play by himself for an hour at a time without checking for me...

Happy belated birthday Morgan!  Glad to hear the party went well. 

Lindsey - I used to write everything down with Susana.  I prepared an entire notebook for the sitter so all she would have to do is fill in times.   :oops: She's a mother of three and I think she thinks I'm a little over the top.  SHe's much more go with the flow than I am.  Anyway I haven't seen the notebook since giving it to her.   She usually gives me a run down of her day though.  I really think wwe have gastrointestinal issues going on again.  The way she is behaving is similar to how she did when she was smaller.  I thought I had it all figured out by stopping the Pregestemil.  She did so well over the weekend.  But then last night after being asleep for 45 min.  she woke up screaming.  Nothing I did could calm her down.  She did this for about an hour and then just as suddenly as she had started, stopped crying calmed down and went to sleep.  I am thinking of making an appointment with the pediatrician to discuss it with him.  My instinct is telling me these just aren't normal sleep issues.  On the walking - she is still standing a lot on her own and will take little half shuffle steps by herself.  She'll walk everywhere if you hold her hands.

Jodi - Good luck with sleep training.  I hope you're back to sleeping well soon.  I can relate to the sleep deprivation around here.  It's almost worse after you've gotten used to sleeping again adn then go back to having to get up several times a night isn't it?

Ange - I hate to hear about your daycare.  We had picked out a daycare that we really liked, but when it came time to put her there, I couldn't bear the thought of leaving her at any daycare.  We were so blessed to find the sitter we have now.  Everything just worked itself out.  I knwo things will work out for the best with you too.

Welcome Melissa!

In all that excitment I forgot to post. Hannah has started to walk we are up to 10-15 steps and then she starts to run and falls down. I guess what they say is true some babies skip the crawling stage. I think because she is short and chunky her low center of gravity makes it easy for her to stay up right
