LOL what the fuck is that and why did they put in a downy kid who can't manage the directions?

There are an infinite amount of "daddy finger" videos out there.
My life is perfectly hell.

It's pretty sad, but those are the videos kids like these days. Within the last year, the trend is to make their still picture say the time. Usually 55+ minutes, or 60+ minutes, so that parents know the video is long and they can go raid WoW or something while letting the TV baby sit their kids. Kids TV has a character Bob the Train. My son used to like him more, but and now his baby sister is coming into it, and she loves it. But new video comes out, and within weeks, has over a million views or some shit. It's insane.

Kinder Eggs are illegal in the US. Shit is dumb as hell and you can thank the Mars company for that. Every time a similar product comes around the Mars company spends millions lobbying the federal gov't to prevent them.
THINK OF THE CHILDREN. Same idiots whose kids die to the Tide packets.

So we got our results tonight, my son is bright and mostly average but has delayed development of social skills. He'll get to spend 10 hours per week on a program offered by the school district as soon a they can get it through their system (within a few days) and will be re-evaluated quarterly.
Progress I guess, doesn't feel quite like 2.5 hours a day in another environment is enough but will go with it and see where this path takes us.

in the grand scheme of things, 10 hours a week is a lot of time for someone whose age is in the single digits.
you also don't want to overdo the time allotment and make the kid feel like he BELONGS in a different environment. not that i'm a psychologist, but 2-3 hours a day seems about right.

Anyone got any experience with the graco 4ever car seat? It's 15% off at target and I have a gift card that I'll never spend. Wondering how it is? It's 4.7 stars over 700 reviews, so I'm feeling good. Just wondering what people think

I had this:http://www.gracobaby.com/products/pa...eat-rosin.aspx
for my youngest, which is similar but not the same. It was huge, even bigger than it looks. Bulky as fuck. But it did the job. It was nice because for my older two we had a Graco that detached and fit into a stroller, which was nice, but it was rear-facing only. They get to a point where they are too big for a rear facing carseat but not yet ready for a booster seat, so you have to buy an entire new carseat that is forward facing. So in that respect, it was good. But yeah it was huge and had a million little folds and parts and crevasses, which by the time we threw it away were filled with goldfish and vomit. That's why we ultimately god rid of it, daughter did an Exorcist all over the thing and we just couldn't get it 100% clean. The fabric shit all comes off but it had pooled all in the base and smelled fucking wonderful. So we just transitioned her to a booster.

I'm considering letting my Costco membership go now that all of the kids are out of diapers. I don't think it is probably worth it at this point. 100 bucks per year with the savings and cash back probably make up for that, but Costco is a real pain in the ass and you have to buy the specific stuff they have there. And probably end up spending more on assorted items than I would have normally. And they sell bulk toilet paper and stuff at Target and other stores now.

They didn't have the 4ever car seat so we got another graco seat for 100 less. So far looks good. Little man outgrew his baby bucket graco (same as yours)

You do end up spending more money on shit you would never have bought otherwise, because you see it and are like oh shit I want that! However, it's still worth it for my family. There are other methods to get everything Costco sells I'd imagine, but I'd rather go to Costco than a grocery store if I have the kids. Wider aisles and they can run!

We went the amazon prime/pantry option and it works well. Toilet paper, diapers, and wipes to my doorstep. Can't beat that.

So our baby turned 5 months two days ago. She was quite small every time we took her to the doctor. The last time was around the first of January but my wife has stopped breastfeeding since then and the baby has gotten pretty fat in the past month and 5 days or so off of formula. We usually give her 32 oz. a day and think she's about 12 lbs now, which really seems small when doing some googling. At her 4 month check up though she was only 23.5 inches long and weighed 10 lbs. So she was still pretty small. It's kind of mind blowing how much bigger she looks within just a month. I don't think she grew too much in length in the past month, but we've been told but other people with babies that she looks chunky. I'm sure it's normal, just wondering if anyone has had a similar situation with their kids. Thanks.

Babies are supposed to be chunky. When they start walking they shed the weight. I wouldn't worry too much about her being to chunky. They should look like the Michelin Man. I saw one baby not long ago that if painted white would've been a spitting image. Rolls upon rolls for days. It was fricken adorable.

My kid is skyrocketing in size and he came out really small. He gained 2 inches in 3 months and he's up to 20 pounds at 9 months. His head circumference is in the 80th percentile thanks to my gigantic head.
He hasn't really progressed past saying dada or baba, so hoping he starts that soon. Also refuses to wave or clap. But now he's sitting up on his own. It was creepy waking up one night, looking at the monitor and seeing him sitting. It was the first time he ever did it on his own and was the middle of the night.

Boys tend to start talking later than girls. Might be closer to 2 where he starts expanding his language. He'll understand a lot though.

I forgot to mention we had his 9month appointment this past week. He grew 3.5 inches and gained about 4 pounds. So he is now 21.5 pounds and 29.1 inches. Both measurements just above the average.
