Fun things they are saying? - When i ask her what daddy says she lifts her finger shakes it & says 'No, No, NO!' She repeats everything - so anything is adorable!
Favorite toy? Dolls, crayons, play-doh
What do they get in trouble for the most? whining

OMG my DD is 21 months old these questions seem so foreign to me already. believe it or not, it will get easier. As for Milk - you have to remember that your DD gets nutrients from other sources now that she is eating real food. I believe you shuld limit her mil consumption to around 16-20 oz a day. I give Ava more water then anything else. She only gets juice a few times a week (but that's me) - some parents give their LO juice a few times a day. Its up to you. My pedi said that toomuch juice can actually cause constipation. An example of Ava's liquid consumption:
Morning: Sippy of milk, but if she's having cereal or oatmeal for breakfast then she has water.
Lunch: Milk if she had water in the morning otherwise water.
Snack: Milk with snack
Dinner: Water with dinner
All other times - water & on occasion a apple juice.
The sippy cup transition for easy for me since Ava never really got used to the bottle. Start with offering her water in the sippy. Some people go cold turkey & remove the bottle all together. For me we started with the morning bottle then worked our way to the nighttime bottle. Ava no longer takes a sippy or bottle before bed. Good luck & welcome to the 1 yr old board. Your DD is about to take of and its an amazing experience. Enjoy it, because it goes fast....View Thread

Its insane isn't it!!! I have Ava in daycare 3 days a wk & it cost me $600 a month....

Its insane isn't it!!! I have Ava in daycare 3 days a wk & it cost me $600 a month. With baby #2 on the way - Im actually afraid to find out how much its going to cost us come Sept. Im just hoping that since Ava will be over 2, she's no longer considered an infant so her cost should decrease. My DH just got a raise but it will be a wash once we put the 2nd baby in daycare. Unfortunately, I still bring home a more then the monthly cost so I still have to work.
Have you checked your local YMCA? We just joined as a family & the rates seem to be less. Regardless - I feel your pain!!!!View Thread

I know we've had this discussion before, but now that our kids are getting a lil older - Is there anyone out there that is using this & finding success. I did purchase this awhile back but returned it & got the Leapster DVD's. Ava watches the Letter Factory one & its great. When we were hanging our ornaments on the tree I have a 'D', 'K' & 'A' initial ornament. When hanging them she identified them on her own & made the sound - we were in shock!!! Now Im wondering if those My Child Can Read DVD's may actually work...
Anyone have experience with them?View Thread

Ok so I know we haven't posted about this in awhile but we used to be obsessed with it on here. Anyway I was just catching up on my gossip & found out that baby Leah was taken away from unstable Amber until she got Leah a safe bed to sleep in & is now restricted from interacting with Gary. She has since been returned to her mommy, but is under supervision. Ok so is that possibly the only reason they could think of to take Leah away...I can give them many more reasons.
Now I just saw a post where she got a HUGE tattoo of Leah across her belly - I mean HUGE!!! Seriously this puts a whole new meaning to ridiculous. She actually thought that by getting the tattoo across her entire belly that people would think this meant she really loves Leah. To me it means - you are even more insane then I thought. Does this girl just not think at all - she's way too impulsive & of course not even a week later she's regretting it...
Ok so since I was just reading about it & it i probably old news to some of you. I needed an outlet...LOL!View Thread

Yes 7 months preggo...Im due April 2nd...its exactly the same time of year i got pregnant with Ava - guess I need to be careful around the month of June for now on - LOL!! If my cycle was the same the due dates would have been identical! With Ava I was actually due on March 20th, so Im hoping this one also comes a lil late - so my maternity leave is extended closer into the summer.
What a nightmare w/ SD - I couldn't imagine not wanting to see my own child & his family ignores her too - PATHETIC!!! Its their loss, because I can imagine how cute she is right now! Good luck with the job hunt!!View Thread
