A successful use of the potty
On the 6th, Baby Girl pulled off her diaper, walked over to the potty, sat on it and peed.
I was very impressed.
It was only the 3rd time she's gone on the potty and the first time it was entirely of her own volition.
The other two times were because I could tell her was about to go so I put her on (once on her 2nd birthday and on one other occasion).
Today she and Little Man have pediatrician appointments.

So our little lamb is more of a Baby Bird
Why??
Because any time we are eating anything that looks remotely interesting, she strolls over, tilts back her head and opens her mouth while gesturing at the food object of interest.
Anyway, she had her 2 year check up today.
Our DR is sending a referral to a pediatrician re: her assessed speech delay (which we had checked at KidsAbility about a month ago).
Her height is: 34.5 inches which the DR says puts her in the 75th percentile
Her weight is: 26.125 lbs which the DR says puts her in the 50th percentile
However; the nurse did the conversion from 11.9 kg and said it was 26.125 but an online conversion tool said "11.9 kilograms = 26.2350092 pounds"
Now, I'll also check using this: http://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_kids_centils.htm
And it says:
At 2 years:
your child is 26.235 pounds, and that is at the 43rd percentile for weight.
your child is 34.5 inches (aka 2 feet 10½ inches), and that is at the 73rd percentile for height.

I have been sadly neglecting this blog
Anyway, on Dec 4th we had dinner at Little Man's godparents and our wee Lamb was being held by her Uncle Jeebus when she reached towards me and said, "MumMuma."
It was so distinct and did not seem to be related to food and I commented on it to make sure everyone else had heard.
Since then she has been saying that and "Dada" at T. and myself on a regular basis!!!
And here's a video of her working on standing in the crib:
Also, we took some family photos and this is the one we chose for our Xmas cards - though since I did them late - they are only going to family since I can deliver them in person...

The Good and the Bad
The Good:
Lambikins pulled herself to a stand all by herself in her crib last night!!! Unfortunately I did not get a pic of the event but I'll post a cute pic of her I took the other day...
The Bad:
Little Man has been having issues with acting out at school, dealing with being bullied and now, apparently, bullying someone else.
He wrote a very inappropriate note this week and I had a call from the VP about it. Last time I spoke to the VP it was about ANOTHER note he wrote a few wks ago.
The first note was a list of swear words. Little Man said he wrote them down to prove that he knew them because some of the other boys were picking on him because he wasn't "saying swears."
The second note really disturbed me because he wrote about doing violence against another child.
When Little Man comes home today I am going to have to have a serious talk with him.
I am feeling really exasperated.
I get confused as to how much of this is or could be related to his autism and how much is just him being an 8-year-old boy.
And the bizarre thing is, Little Man is one the smallest kids in his class (of the boys AND the girls).
I have been thinking about looking into having him switch schools, but there are bullies and bad influences EVERYWHERE.
Little Man asked if I could home-school him but I don't know that I would consider that an option for him or not... I don't know that I have the patience for that and then I would worry about the lessened socialization since that is so important for a child on the spectrum.
Right now I am just LOST!
But here's a pic of my Little Man that I took the other day:
(see how adorable he is?)

On a wintery day
This morning T. took the two big kids to meet Women's Hockey Gold medal winners, Cheryl Pounder and Becky Kellar.
Once home, we put 8-month-old Lambikins into her snowsuit (size 18 - 24 months) and brought her outside to check out the snow.
Here are some pics...

Updates for Lambikins!
Waving "hi" and "bye bye" -- did it for the first time on Monday. I waved bye bye at her and then she copied me.
She doesn't initiate it yet, but she does it in response.
I still can't count her "mummum" or "dada" babbling yet since it still hasn't been definitely at the correct one of us. Mummum happens more when she's hungry.
One of the theories is that she can't come close to saying Little Man's name yet and she wants to say his name first but who knows.
She's very vocal these days and on the move. Still scooting and creeping instead of crawling and far more interested on working on standing than crawling.
Holding onto a chair the other day, she took 2 small steps and she's also done that holding on to my hands (just two small steps).
It's exciting stuff but she's also getting REALLY frustrated!

First Halloween for Lambikins!
Yes here it is, Halloween.
I was thinking about putting Lam's Star Trek onesie on underneath her warm baby giraffe costume but the Star Trek onesie is currently missing and I don't even have a photo of her in it (maybe one on my phone but I can't figure out how to get pics off my super-old phone onto the damn com!)
Son is going out as Green Lantern this year (last year he was Captain Kirk) and we don't have Rhyme Girl this year since she's at her Mom's.
But I am going to post a pic of the kids from the past 2 Halloweens just because.

4 teeth for Lamb
Yeppers, the other top middle tooth has poked through the gums!
And in food updates, Talia tried sweet potatoes for the first time this week, so she's had avocados, sweet potatoes and banana so far.

Fun with Rhyming
Little Man just said, "If you ever want to call [Lamb] a drama queen you should call her a llama queen instead."
Because both Little Man and Rhyme Girl have been told to "cut the drama" before and Lamb has a toy llama that she plays with quite a bit.
That statement made me laugh this morning.

7 months old
Wow, Lamb is a healthy 7-month-old!
She is getting better with the "mama ma mum" sounds but she still uses them generally rather than specific to myself and she also makes a sound that could be "boo" "blue" or "boob" and since she tends to make it and then open her mouth like a baby bird, I'm guessing it's actually "boob" but again, it's not specific or consistent.
Right now it is still more of her experimenting with sounds rather than definitely identifying things.
Little Man said his first word "mama" when he was 7 months and 1 day old so I am getting nervous re: Lamb not doing it yet.

Avocado for breakfast?
Now the lamb has tried teething biscuits (mostly goobered them down and then got them all over herself) and she's had frozen spinach & frozen banana in a teether/feeder but this was the first time she's had something meant to be eaten rather than just being teething relief.

Creeping
OK, so it's hard to define when Lambikins started creeping as she was mostly moving backwards and seemed like it made her mad.
But she would pull up her knees and rock a bit and then cry and so on.
Well, on Sunday she moved forward slightly after a toy. Wasn't sure if it was accidental or on purpose.
Tonight, she went forward and it was definitely on purpose. So I will count today as her first day of "creeping."

FIRST TOOTH!
 |
| A tooth? Really??? |
She was SOOOO cranky today so I actually gave her a bit of frozen banana in this child-proof teether-feeder to chew on for a good hour.
(I linked a similar one - but the one I bought was from Shopper's Drug Mart).
There wasn't much left of the bit of banana by the end of it and she sure seemed calmer while she was sucking and chewing on it but I don't *think* I count this as her first time getting solids, do I?

Little Man - freelance entertainer
Little Man was just dancing and jumping around to some 80s music in front of Lambikins to amuse her. I laughed & he turned to me and said, "I'm just doing my job to keep Fridays entertaining."
What a kid! :>

My little Lamb is getting bigger
She's starting to giggle - though I don't have very good video of it.
And she does this really funny thing where she lifts both her legs into the air and then thumps them down. It's amusing when she's awake but she also does it in her sleep and that is something I find downright hilarious!!
The other thing is her increased "story-telling" - where she gabs away making all sorts of cute sounds that Little Man sometimes thinks are actual words.
What makes me laugh the most is when, after being breast-fed, she decides she wants to have a serious conversation with my breast. So she'll grab me and then start babbling with a serious look on her face, pause, smile, babble some more et cetera.
Extremely adorable stuff!

Big girl bath
Tonight I was soaking in the moderately warm tub and I thought it might be fun to bring the wee girl in with me.
Had T. bring her up and carefully brought her into the tub with me and she LOVED it. All smiles and I even got 3 of her ever so elusive giggles (Little Man got one today and two earlier in the wk).
She kicked her feet and cooed and smiled and just really seemed to love it and I thought I was going to burst into tears.
I never did that with Little Man. He hated being bathed so much that I didn't start doing things like that with him until he was older (about 3 years old) because I was afraid with all his shrieking and flailing that he'd get hurt if I was in the tub with him so this was just an amazing first for me.
So my lil lambikins did an awesome job tonight.
*love*
