No kidding, she's already getting on her hands and knees and rocking. Holy cow, isn't that a bit soon? She still can't sit up for longer than a minute, and yet she's so close to mobility. In other achievements, she says, "Aye-dee-dee!"; "Da-da"; and "Ba-ba." I expect she'll be able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and the Gettysburg Address by the end of the month.
We're having trouble finding clothes that fit her. I hit up a yard sale and scored tons of cute fall clothes for her. However, all the 6-12 month pants I purchased were WAY TOO SMALL. In these photos she is wearing 18 month pants. Of course they are a little long in the legs... but look at her stomach hanging over the top!
The look on her face says it all. "Um Mama, who designs this crap?" I don't know Sweetie, but they don't have fat-bottom girls like you in mind, that's for sure. Killer thighs and bootielicious butts run in our family but this is ridiculous. Aunt Kate has been having this same problem for years when it comes to finding pants. She said, "Poor Georgie, at least she'll be used to it early!"
OK, now for the question that has been baffling us for weeks: How can Normy have such boundless energy when his entire daily intake consists of a handful of grapes at breakfast, three bites of his sandwich at noon, and nothing but milk and threats at dinner? Smoochy is not the type of parent who often repeats himself, but at every evening meal you can hear him proclaim, "Just one bite. Just one bite! JUST ONE BITE!" I know this is all perfectly normal, if also perfectly infuriating. Thank God for the old stand-bys. He will ALWAYS eat grapes, shredded cheese, and scrambles eggs. Oh, and anything that he can dip in ketchup. Thank god Hy-vee sells a brand that's HFCS-free! ;-)

Don't worry about Jacob not eating enough.My wise old doctor told me that kids are really smart. They only eat when they are hungry and they don't tie it too emotions, or the time of day. That is an excellent habit. Imagine...eating only when you are actually hungry!! Not many of us do that. He is getting what his body needs.Luckily for him, he has a reserve. ;0)
You have two of the three most beautiful children in this world!
LOL...that is awesome about Georgia and clothes. We are having some of the same issues here for Isaac. If you feel like digging Salvation Army can have some good things depending on the day, and if it is the right day the children clothes go on sale ALL for 49 cents! Jacob is sure growing up fast! P.S. When will we get to see you?! I'm dying to meet the newest addition!
I have the opposite problem with Chloe! Pants that fit her waist are WAAAY too short and pants that fit her length are way too big. All I have to say is thank goodness for adjustable waist pants!
Sooo cute!!! Yeap, I found stretchy knit Carter pants or sweats from Baby Gap with elastic on the bottom worked the best. I didn't try anything else for awhile.
Also, I can't believe how little the boys eat now. Every once in awhile he'll eat a bunch. He just had a growth spurt and is back to Joe's O's, cheese, and raisins.
Love ya, Estela
I too have a toddler that literally eats nothing but a handful of grapes for breakfast (sometimes a piece of cheese), a few bites of a sandwich or some pasta at lunch and whatever food she gets at dinner…well, that just ends up on the floor. I worry and worry and my doctor tells me that this is all normal and this is how toddlers are. I have no idea how they do it.
