Bad Parent #1: I was standing at the check out window, making Ladybug's next appointment, when a young woman with twin boys (pre-school age) and a toddler came behind me. I am assuming this was a mother and her boys. The twins were opening doors and getting into mischief, and the woman says to them, "If you boys don't stop, I'm gonna smack your heads against the wall!" And you could tell from her voice that she meant it!
Bad Parent #2: As I was leaving the office, there was a young school-age girl in the sick waiting room, looking, well, sick. Her father was outside the office, smoking. The girl opens the door to the well visit waiting room, and the father, still outside, yells, "Get your sick head outta there!"
I never want to be a parent like that!
So, now that I've gotten that off my chest.... We were at the peds office for Ladybug's 6-month check up. She weighed in at 26 lbs and is 28 3/4 inches long. Once again, off the growth charts in both height and weight. The doc reassured us that she is a healthy breastfed baby.
She can sit up by herself. She loves her sippy cup - we introduced the sippy because she won't take a bottle when I'm away. She's tried rice cereal, bananas, applesauce, and sweet potatoes so far. We'll try green beans this week. She babbles almost constantly, and she has the best giggle! She sleeps great at night, which Mommy and Daddy really appreciate!
Here's a pic, in case anyone needs a Ladybug fix:
yep - don't want to be liker those parents too - thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteLadybug is sooo cute!!! Ijust want to hug her!
I didn't get a chance to scroll down and look at this post yesterday. She is TOO CUTE! My boys were both breastfed. The Dr. told me its normal for them to be off the charts. That's certainly a good thing, even if the carrier gets too heavy!!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you yesterday and today and wondered how you are doing. Again, your pain resonates with me. My oldest will be 3 a month from today. I can't help but think of the different emotions we both must have been going through 3 years ago. Again, I am so sorry.
Thanks for your comments. If you read my Monday post, you know that I too felt I was called into missions before I married. We still may go someday if the situation with Tyler's peanut allergy gets better.
Have a great weekend!!
Whoa! She's big! At least compared to my Ladybug... our home scale shows 19.5 pounds at 11 months. I got my goodies today - THANK YOU!!!!!
