ILP rolling photo quarantine 2

Yeah I don't get the Sophie thing that much, my parents came to visit a month ago and were like WTF WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A SOPHIE and went out and bought one the next day. It's okay I guess? We leave it in the car seat for travel chewing.

I just don't know much about babies and found it funny that it was popping up on every registry I looked up. So now I buy it when I see it requested!

Sophie is *so* easy for a young baby to hold by her lovely long legs. Yes, we have one too...

yeah it's the ease of holding and the multiple points that you can grab and/or chew, makes it easy for them

Our daughter isn't so bothered by her sophie teething toy, but we have a Peekaboo Sophie pop up book, with sophie and al her dudes hiding behind panels, and she LOVES that, starts giggling the minute she sees it.

i love how serious your sons are about playing, DJP

the best is when the joy bursts through the concentration and they are both like "OH HELL YES IT'S A GIFT TO BE ALIVE ON THIS WRETCHED EARTH BECAUSE I BANGED SOME MOTHERFUCKING BLOCKS TOGETHER NOW WATCH ME CLAP MOTHERFUCKER *giggle*"

also I had never heard of a Sophie until the mentions in this thread

I don't know if it's teething or we're doing something wrong but I was getting way more regular, predictable sleep with a 3 month old than with a 5 month old. We had a glorious couple of weeks where he'd go to bed at 7, get up for a bottle and change at 11, then again at 3, and wake up for good at 8am.

Now he goes to sleep between 6:30 and 8:30, wakes up fussing an hour later, gets rocked back to sleep, wakes up again 90 minutes later, eats, falls back asleep, then basically seems to wake up every 30 to 60 minutes for some bullshit reason or another through the rest of the night. I feel like I'm going to die.

But when I see the kid in the morning I feel like Homer Simpson with the giant sandwich that kept making him sick - how can I stay mad at you?

Sleep regression is a thing :(

And how.

Sleep regressions are a thing.

Sorry about that.

I've heard that but with the teething mixed in and eating solid foods now it all seems so random and unpredictable. I guess I should get used to that.

Also so tired right now that I didn't realize I'd put this in the photo thread, not the parenting thread so apologies for that.

Cecil can't quite crawl yet, but trying results in slowly moving backwards which leads to discovering him randomly stuck under furniture throughout the day.

That happened the other day with our baby and the recliner.

omg Cecil is so fucking cute. Look at that smile! And I stand by my previous compliments re: his eyebrows.

xps

what an excellent baby

Isolde is crawling now, for a while she couldn't figure out what to do with her left leg, so she was dragging it behind her like a wounded soldier

MJ those are fabulous.

sleeve please feel free to post many more pictures of Isolde.

CECIL <3

(he doesn't look too upset about getting stuck ;) )

I knew that had to be yr baby as I scrolled down because she looks so much like E!

They do look almost exactly the same. Sarah has been making comparison shots:

Matilda is not quite as long and skinny as Evie was, and I'm thinking her eyes might stay blue.

Here's a current Evie pic for balance

Those comparison shots are uncannily similar. I also wish the googly eyes on those frog sunglasses had googly eyes which had smaller googly eyes onwards into infinity.

x-post - omg! I noticed it immediately in the first pics but woah that's nuts!

I love her name :)

I love the Evs/Tilda pics. My favorite gals (who are not my daughter).

Tyler that's fantastic!

And Marin <3<3

Oh look at that face.

And I approve of the classy reading-about-dinosaurs in the park look. Wonderful.

It really is a great picture.

haha, i wonder what a little kid would think of grace jones album artwork...
pretty crazy just in the last few months how sylvie has started reading by herself. a whole new world.

That's awesome. Evie can read a decent number of words but probably not enough to read a book on her own and she doesn't seem very motivated so far to push herself to try and sound words out if she doesn't recognize them right away.

yeah she was pretty much like that til about april and then suddenly was sitting there doing it ... she's still reading aloud, so our house is now constantly filled with the sound of her happily performing old Peanuts strips. "YOU BLOCKHEAD!!"
