As for biting, Eva did that a few times, be sure to say no firmly - it might not hurt you so bad, but if he does it to another baby that is bad...They don't understand they are hurting us. Just say no very firmly and remove him from that area, then go on to playing - he'll stop, but be sure to control that before he starts liking it too much - I also read somewhere to be very careful not play bite him, since he will play like that...So we have tried that with Eva and she has not bitten in a while...we also keep things for her to put in her mouth handy, since teething seems to be coming again. It is crazy but it seems like baby teeth are sharper than adult teeth, no? like since they are not dull with use they freaking hurt!
For the staying with dad thing - I think they sleep better with their dads because they are slightly more stressed without us and they tend to play more with dad (at least in my case) so they tire more...Eva eats less well with her papa too, and I think it is also because he is not as used to feeding her so he is not as firm, although my DH does a killer airplane spoon which works wonders with Eva
I am glad he is doing so well - Eva is the same - they say she is such a doll and easy to deal with, sleeps well and eats well and plays and entertains herself. You will get to the point soon where he cries when you leave (which I have been dealing with for over a month now, but once you leave him he will stop (Eva literally stops when I am out of sight - Just out the door when I am putting my shoes on she stops and goes off to play. But I am so happy he is doinfg well....The thinking about him thing will go on for a while but soon you will get a rythm going and you'll see it becomes a wonderful thing to know he is playing socializing and getting good and tired...we just can't entertain them like other babies can at this point - or a huge room full of toys they don't have at home!
Eva has started spitting out her food, which is sort of annoying, she eats well, swallows a large part then blows a raspberry after almost every bite...I tell her no firmly, but she just keeps doing it, but I guess it will pass, like all of her other starnge ticks...she sort of had a period where she would scrunch up her face, then a period where she would stick out her tongue with food in her mouth and now this...
Ok, so I am off to work...TTC is going well - DH is very happy and so am I - we are getting our spark back being off the pill has also upped my sex drive so I am enjoying TTC We are going to enjoy as much as possible becauyse with two I am not sure how much DTD I will get for a while!
My friend here is finding out the sex of her second on Monday and I can't wait! And another good friend called me yesterday to announce that she is most likely also expecting her first, and another is giving birth to her second at the end of October...I want in! ROFL - It is crazy that once you put it in your mind that you want another, you become so ready so fast...
