As I read Gianna's mom's post it made me think- so I went to the "activity" forum and posted "Moms of 15-18 month olds- we need your help over here".

I would go check it out. I asked what they did a few months ago to encourage independent play and how much alone time their one year olds might have needed.
Let's keep this discussion light- I don't want to start debates or anything- it is all up to us as parents in the end!

Can't wait to hear some tips!

I am with Gianna's mom in that I spend most of my time on the floor with Reegan.  If she wants to play by herslef then I let her and don't bother her.   I think that the nanny does the same thing with her.  I am trying to be better at trying to do things while she is playing because now she doesn't even like it when I fix dinner with her on the floor beside me :oops: . 

Well we are getting better with the night sleeping here.  For the most part she is sleeping 7:30 - 6:30.  That is an hour less than she used to sleep but I guess that is ok since she is not waking up at night.  I still go in and just lay on her floor holding her hand until 7.  I hope that eventually she will go back to sleeping until 7. 

How did Halloween go for everyone?  We dressed up Reegan as a bee and we went to the town hall with my nephew.  Dh is taking her to the church tonight to show her off.  So, bedtime is going to be a little later tonight. 

Luisa's mum - As far as having nannies goes it isn't that common in this area.  I think it depends on the area that you live in here.  I just couldn't put her in daycare while I worked.  Sure do wish that I had someone who gave me manicures everyday!

Lindsey - The pics are so cute!

Everyone - on the play time -  I've noticed Susana is kind of clingy sometimes too, but with her I think it has to do more with a separation anxiety than not being able to play by herself.  She seems to be less clingy on the weekends when I am home with her.  I think that may be some of what is going on with sleep issues too. 

I'm attaching a picture of Susana in her Halloween costume.

momtoree (or anyone for that matter!)-what strategies are you using to get your lo to play alone?  like reegan, gianna won't even play alone long enough for me to START dinner, much less MAKE it!  it is getting really frustrating.  i sit on the floor and set up toys.  after a few mins, i say "ok, gianna, mommy has to______(make dinner, go to the bathroom, etc)".  then i get up and start to do whatever it is i need to and she immediately starts whining and following me...HELP!

Hi, I haven't been on for a while, but I've been reading the posts everyday...I've just been busy.

Does anybody's little one think of their cribs as a jungle gym, where all they see are bars to climb and a mattress to bounce on???

Connor is driving me nuts!!!...He climbs up, and throws himself down so the mattress bounces, over and over, and over again, until he is so tired that he doesn't know what to do with himself...I'll eventually get him to go to sleep, then he will wake up at 3:00 and start the process over again...He has one thing going on in his mind...'must climb, must cruise, must bounce, must climb, must cruise, must bounce'...

But it's SO frustrating, because then he ends up screaming because he's tired and worn out, but he won't just lay down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  UGH!!!!!!   :?  :roll:

By the way, I think he'll be walking by his birthday...Heaven help me then...he's just so busy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and the other thing is that he's just developed some serious 'attitude'...

Anybody else's little ones want to do things on their own, but don't know how to yet (don't like getting dressed, want to feed themselves (even though no food gets into the mouth), won't accept a bottle if given to him, but will take it if it's set down and he gets it...)...I've got my hands full!!!!!

pheobe - Glad to hear somebody else is in that position...I was starting to think maybe he has hyperactivity...

You know what's weird???  As wired as he is at home, and as social as he is, at the sitters, he doesn't like noise, and if things get too noisy or there are too many kids in his face, he has to be separated to play quietly...His dad preferred quiet settings and didn't like crowds even as a baby, and still doesn't...I think Con has just a little bit of that trait in him.  He loves people and other kids, but if he's surrounded by too many of them, and they make a lot of noise, he gets anxious...He will get used to it.

So, I guess, he's gone from Angel/Spirited to Spirited/Touchy/Angel...

Today, we go for the results of his Kidney ultrasound...I'll let you guys know how we make out...

Hey everyone. 

I think i've only posted in here once or twice.

Things have been alittle crazy around here. Aren't they always when you have toddlers.     Dorian has to have his hand in everything i feel like all i do is chase him out of the kitchen or the bathroom.(When chase forgets to shut the door)   Dorian new favorite thing to do is to take things out of the trash can.  I'm about to go buy a new one with a lid.  It probably won't stop him but hopefully it will slow him down.

The time change has been wonderful for us.  It seem that since sunday dorian has been sleeping better.  Until lastnigt when he woke up at 3:00 and wanted to sleep on the couch.

The funniest thing happened lastnight.  We were watching a movie as a family lastnight and dorian was walking around the living room playing and chase tripped him(that's not the funny part)  Well, he tripped him twice and the second time he got in trouble and went to bed. But before he left the living room dorian started wiggling his finger at chase and was babbling at him.  Like he was telling him off for tripping him.  :D

I have to go now. Dorian is in need of a change.  See you all around.

Hi, so we had the results of the ultrasound...What he has is ureteropelvic junction obstruction which mean he has an enlarged renal collection system which isn't a problem right now (but is the cause of the kidney infection that he had when he was 3 months old), but is something that we have to watch and monitor yearly and watch for kidney infections. 
But, he did say that it likely won't be a problem as Connor is extremely healthy, and so far doesn't seem to be bothered by it...
