This is a discussion on Us within the October 2006- Precious Pumpkins forums, part of the Born in 2006 category; So in the not so fun news:

So in the not so fun news:
Reilly drove me CRAZY yesterday. We were just not compatible. I sure hope he gets his molars soon, or we're going to have some issues...
He is getting more picky. I'm having a hard time figuring out things to feed him...
In the better news: He's finally starting to say some words, and trying to say a lot of others.
Also, Jaina has slept so much better the last two nights:
Three nights ago - 3 1.5 hour stretches intermingled with waking up every 20-30 minutes. Not hungry, just uncomfortable with drainage and/or gas.
Two days ago - Had her adjusted by a very good chiropractor. We slept in the basement. She only woke up every 3 hours.
Last night: Slept from 9 to 6:45. Can I just say how excited I am? Not sure which made the difference (the chiropractor or us sleeping downstairs) but so very happy..
YAY for some sleep! I can't believe you are managing a 1 1/2 year old and a baby with so little sleep (that's why I'm terrified of having another one yet).
We're having some of the same issues with food around here...you just never know what's going to go over well and what's not...
Hit and miss here too- except pickles. Pickles are always a hit. Would dips help? Ranch w veggies, meat with a little ketchup. Sometimes just giving her Cheerios to put in the yogourt is enough to interest her. We're still working on eye teeth here. I'm just hoping that we have a few weeks reprieve between Pip's molars and new baby's first teeth.
Please keep posting! You give me a good glimpse of my life in a few weeks.

Oh yeah, have you tried signs with Reilly? We were having the same frustration issues with Pip and started signing. It made a world of difference just having a couple of signs. It really isn't that hard so if you want more info I'll post a couple of websites.

Yes, without signs we'd be much more frustrated. He does please, more, drink, sleep, eat, up, down, and one or two others I can't think of...
NorthernLights - the first 4-6 weeks will probably be really hard. Hang in there, though, it gets better.
I agree with Rebeca. You are giving me a glimpse of my future in a few weeks. I am prepared for it to be really hard at first. But so worth it in the end.
Thanks for updating us.
