We assembled our girls learning tower and its making me emotional

Our daughter is turning 1 next week. That by itself feels completly unreal already. But today her learning tower arrived and my husband assembled it. And its making me so damn emotional. Like when did she get so big? Wasnt she born like yesterday??? I cant believe tomorrow she can join me making breakfast in her learning tower and be my little helper (of course she's already been my little helper all along, but she usually joins me in her high chair or crawls around the kitchen)

We love our girl so much and shes so amazing and so much fun and I am so excited for her birthday!

Dinner for 11 month old!

My 11 (almost 12 month!) loved todays dinner. She had apricots, sweet potato and meatballs. She ate all of her sweet potato first and then moved on to the rest. She ate all of the apricots as well and we even got her some more. She also ate most of the meatballs. When I got the plate ready I thought "well, this is gonna be way too much" - but then she ate almost everything 😅 so definetly a very succesful dinner

(I wanna say, please dont be discouraged, my daughter has always been a good eater, youre not doing anything wrong if your baby eats way less!)

Mystery stains? Help please

These stains keep on appearing on my daughters clothes. It started a few months ago and I was pretty sure they were from some sort of tomato sauce (shes 11 months, so eating is messy).

But these stains keep appearing on almost all of her clothes after I put them in the washer, even if I pay close attention to not put them in with anything that could cause it (so like I put in unstained clothes with some of our tshirts and stuff, nothing that has any sauce or anything like that on it). Its almost impossible to remove the stains once they are there and its so frustrating. Of course I know its just baby clothes, its gonna get dirty, whatever. But some of her nicer clothes, that are for special occasions have them now as well.

Could it be something in my washer? Or does anyone have any tips on how to remove it? I am no expert in doing laundry, I basically had to teach it myself.

I am thankful for any tips and ideas :(

My daughter is 11.5 months old and I befriended another Mom in a baby related group I go to sometimes. Her daughter is a little younger (7.5 months) but last week we decided to meet up at her place with our girls. And it went amazing. It was literally as if they were doing a shooting for a textbook. They had so much fun together, they "talked" a lot with each other (like seriously, they really seem to have a baby language we adults just dont understand lol) and had such wunderful interactions. Today we met up again and once again it was so great.

Most of my friends either dont have any kids, or their kids are already older. So Im really happy that my daughter now has someone in her age. I really like the Mom as well and I think we genuinly gonna be friends. We are having great conversations, while the girls play with each other. And she seems to have a very simular parenting approach as well. It feels like I hit a jackpit :D

Der Sohn eines Arbeitskollegen meines Mannes wird seit mittlerweile 4 Tagen vermisst. Je mehr Leute davon wissen und die Augen offen halten, umso höher stehen die Chancen, dass Justin gefunden wird und wieder nach Hause kommt.

Es wäre toll, wenn das Poster weiter geteilt werden könnte (Whatsapp/Instagram/etc). Da er seine Medikamente nicht hat, könnte er sich in einer besonders gefährlichen Situation befinden.

Alle Hinweise bitte direkt an die Polizei Paderborn. Danke an die Mods, dass ich das hier teilen durfte

Hi Dad,

We havent talked in years and I dont think we will ever talk again. I dont miss you, but I'm often sad that I didnt have the chance of having a good father. You and Mom always said that once I had children myself, I would understand why you treated me the way you did. All the abusive treatment I had to endure. Last year I became a Mom and I can proudly say, I never understood it less. I look at my daughter and think to myself "how could you?" - she is so amazing, so much fun and whenever she is having an off day and Im exhausted and overstimulated, I think to myself "well, thats not her fault, shes literally just a baby"

Sometimes I wonder if you ever think of me and if it makes you sad that you will never get to meet your granddaughter. And if you ever have any regrets. I know you would never admit it out loud, but do you think it to yourself?

End of this month will be your granddaughters first birthday. You wont be there. But there will be so many amazing people, that love her and cant wait to celebrate her. Because I found myself a real family. People that love and support me. I have a loving husband, who is such an amazing, patient dad. My daughter will never know what its like to have an abusive and cruel father like you. I stopped the cycle, Dad. It ends with me.

I saw so many of you serve your little ones quesadilla, so I decided I would finally give it a shot. And it was a huge win. She enjoyed it so much! I had to give her more of it 4(!) times. I think she ate about 16-18 of these little pieces and only after that she started eating the feta and the grapes, which was very surprising, because grapes are her absolute favorite and are usually the first thing for her to grab. But not today. She ended up finishing all of the feta and the grapes as well, so an extremely successful lunch!

It wasn't a traditional quesadilla tho, I put in some mashed beans, sundried tomatoes and some parsley. Sadly the cheese I wanted to use had already gone bad, so no cheese today. But luckily she didnt mind at all.
