Solarized Cheeks (+ Dog Leg)

Big dog and little girl! It loks like the huge dog is just trying to let her know in a psychialldoggie way that he will defend her and protect her forever.
And she can squeeze his nose, if neccesary.

or maybe it's "Wait until you throw the ball."
Amazing!

(I have friends with an 18 month girl living with Suzzie, the husky mix good dog who is 10!
They have a wood stove. Suzzie KEEPS the babe from the woodstove.

It seems scary to some people, but - dog and child LOVE each other, and I think the whole family is safe because Suzzie is there.)

one day i hope to sleep straight through. for now it's been hellish.

Poor Nath :(

Hey, guys, can we start a new thread? My wireless connection crashes every time I load this one.

I'm happy for there to be a new one - it's been nearly 8 months. I can't do anything with "Citizens on Patrol" though...

ILX Parenting 4: We make our own people

Itty-bittyzens on Patrol?

hahaha best part about schwantzs fathers day reading pic is he's the only one of the 3 who looks confused

sunny what is the story behind 'beeps' (the name/nickname)? because it is awesome

ummm..lets see. we had decided on the name Beatrice when I was still preggers. we started referring to her as Beats and then that changed into Beeps for awhile which just kind of stuck on ilx i think because i started a thread about "beeps" at the time. She is really "Beats" at home though.

Before we leap into the inknown that is ILX P4, any news on rumpie?

Her babe must be out by now.

Fingers crossed!

sunny if i start a beeps vs beats poll thread & beeps wins out will you guys change yr mind on that one?

I want her to be a drummer, not a keyboard player.

YOU ARE LIVING IN THE PAST MAN, at least give her a chance!

DO IT

i will - ILE or 77? thats yr only choice other than the vote - after that it is out of yr guys' hands

btw split vote = i choose

wow i dont know. more bros on 77 but more peeps on ile. you decide

I don't know, deez. Singing "Beats Street, Queen of the beat, you see her rocking that beat from across the street" to her at night ain't gonna sound the same if her name is "Beeps".

not to mention "we got the beat"

well you two might just have to get 'creative' & substitute 'beep' for 'beat'

deal with it motherfuckers

we are polling on 77 in t-5 min i submit that all ILXP's be invited if they have not been already

no mentions of 77 on this thread pls. Some of us aren't that cool.

(Or invite me)

whats yr ilx email SCHWAAAAAAAAAAAAN? ill feel very powerful if i successfully invite another user

Hi everybody, see you in December!

preggers!!!

Can I repeat: HELLISH. Last couple of days it was 4 or 5 am. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then an accident as well, she fell off the diaper table. But (I hope) nothing's wrong. Thank god. So has anyone gritted their teeth and let their baby cry? I still can't. Silly me. :-( I'm going completely k-razeee tho.

i could let beeps cry to some degree at infant stage but i cant now. i guess because she can communicate better now so crying more often than not does mean something is wrong. poor nath. do you have someone who can give you a day, or at least a night, off where you can hide in your bedroom with earplugs in?

3 months away.....and its a boy! just one, we thought two....but just one. We have decided to name him Cole.

Thank your lucky stars ;)

BINGO! Awesome! Very happy for you and yours! (it's Huk-L, btw)

Huck and Chris! You guys!

Yay! I like Cole - I have a beautiful nephew by that name.

Wow, people be sprogging! congrats, you guys!

Beautiful. How old are these boys now? Do I remember you saying they could say the alphabet at 18 months? Beats is 16 months next week and all she says is "DADA!!!"

OK, we're moving up to 4!
Using sunny's title...
ILX Parenting 4: We make our own people

Think we might be approaching this time with Howie -- in the last few days he has done a wee on the potty every night at bathtime, and asked for the potty this morning.

I have TEH FEAR over putting him in pants and spending the next x weeks wiping up accidents (especially as I'm glued to a breastfeeding newborn half the day) so am considering going via pull-ups, and leaving pants til he is reliable at letting me know when he needs to go. OTOH some say it's best just to stick 'em in pants and put up with the mess for a while...

So... any tips?

Argh, meant to start a new thread on this. Pls ignore this one!
