Is anyone else’s 6 week old in 3-6 month clothes already? 🤣🤭

For anyone that has a little one with a birthday between Christmas and New Year, are you having a birthday party? Or are you doing something different to celebrate?
I’m really struggling with whether we should do a party for our little one and whether anyone would be able to come, his birthday is on 28/12, so would be looking at either the day before or the weekends either side of Christmas. I’m so torn 😩

Xmas

Its coming soon and the plan is to travel abroad to spend it with my family. However, my sister wants to host it in the evening.

I am not sure how this would work with my LO… she also lives about 25-30 min away from where we’d be staying so that has to be taking into factor.

Am I being close minded to an Xmas eve celebration or how could we make this work? (Sleeping there is not an option).

Thank you for your thoughts

Birthday party RSVPs

My daughter’s birthday is next weekend and we have organised a party with
her class from preschool. I sent the invites out around a week and a half ago but have only had 4 RSVPs out of 18. Should I be concerned?

I’ve never organised a birthday party for her before and with nobody responding I’m now worried she will only have 4 friends coming. Is it likely people will leave it until last minute to let us know?

8 months old today!

Been crying the whole day and refusing to nap!

🫠 I feel like my October baby might end up being a November baby at this point!

Anyone else feels like that?

Birthday party or something small

I'm in such a dilemma, he's our first so everyone (grandparents) keeps asking about throwing him a party.. initially I was thinking to have grandparents, ours sisters and nephew round in the evening for cake and food and just let him play around & take him to the aquarium in the morning & out for lunch just the 3 of us.

I feel like he will get overwhelmed with a party and then I'll be the one dealing with it. It won't be such a kids party as we don't have many children so it's more for the adults with like 10 kids ..

Everyone around us and in our culture throws a massive 1st birthday but I really cba for all the planning and then making sure the house is tidy as people will come over after and baby doesn't settle with anyone so I will have to have him the whole time. Will I regret not having a big party with extended family and friends?

I am also thinking as we live with my in-laws when we do have a place of our own I'm more inclined to do a small party with extended family for his future bdays.

Part of me does want to invite my close friends that have little ones but if I do that then I have to invite my husbands aunts&uncles (which is like 15 people) And then host them..

I really don't know what to do 😭😭
Please give me your advice ♥️♥️

Birthday invitation etiquette

We’re doing a soft play party for my son’s 4th birthday, and I just wondered what people’s views are on inviting a friend’s sibling.

We have to pay per head and there is a max number of for the party room.

One of my son’s friends has a 3 year old brother (who we don’t really know or see) but should we still invite him along?

Yall 🥹

My son refused to wait for his November due date lol. Literally pushed him out only 7cm dilated this morning 😅

I’m not good at decorating but it was delicious.

#AACAwarenessMonth

The irony that my son received his AAC device this month. So proud of my boy, I could freaking cry with how far we’ve come man. He’s such an amazing kid. And I’m lucky to be his mom.

Hey Nov mamas! 👋🏼 💕

Can you believe our little ones are turning 1 so soon?! Time has absolutely flown by! How is everyone doing and holding up with the milestone approaching? 🥹

I’m starting to get into planning mode for my daughter’s 1st birthday, but I'm super eager for some fresh inspiration and fun ideas!

I'd love to know what everyone else is up to:

Birthday ideas!

Hi everyone 👋🏽 not very much baby related but it’s my 30th birthday coming up and we went on holiday early for it last month but we still want to do something special on the day or for the weekend

Does anyone have any recommendations of where to go and what I can do? I’ll be 27+4 at the time.

Not too keen on doing a spa as I might not be able to use many of the facilities 🙃 my husbands so stuck on where to take me so any help will be appreciated 😅 oh and something we can sort out last minute as my birthday is this weekend 🫣

It’s timeee!

My princess arrived! 🥹💕 she’s perfect! Thank you Lord for a safe delivery 🙏🏼

15 months🍁🍂

Hope you are having a great October with your little ones!🎃 Who’s excited for the holidays?🙋🏻‍♀️

Growing up

Is it just me who can’t cope with my child growing up too fast? People say ‘it goes so quick i know’ with a smile on their face but i’m literally drowning in my tears as I can’t cope with how quick it went and how much i miss it. He is only 4 and i feel like i won’t be able to cope with nostalgia and regrets.

Don’t get me wrong i’m so proud of who he is becoming and how well he’s growing up 🥹
