Hi, my name is Faith, I JUST joined. I have Eleanor... my 2 year old, and Louise... 7 months. I'm having a tough time getting my younger daughter to show up on my profile, I think I added her like 15 times, any ideas?

Jessica - posted on 11/14/2009

Hi! My name is Jessica and my daughter Caitlyn turned 2 on July 13th. She was a Friday the 13th girl. I am a United States Navy Veteran. I served in the Navy for 4 years. Where I met my husband of 5 years. As for my daughter, she is not talking much. She says simple things like mama, dada but not much else. She is also a very picky eater. All she will eat are things that are hard. Like chips, crackers. She also eats applesauce and bananas but that's it. So I give her V8 Fusion juice just so she gets her fruits and veggies everyday.

Linda - posted on 11/13/2009

Hello! My name is Linda. I'm mommy to a soon to be 13 year old girl, named Sierra, and a 2 yr old boy, named Matthew. Matthew loves to play cars, trains & everything else that other little boys play. He absolutely LOVES to play outside and is really becoming an independant little boy rather than my baby. Boo Hoo! Matthew is a really great eater, usually eating what ever you put in front of him. Matthew amazes most people by how well he can speak. And his manners are FABULOUS! On Halloween he would say "Thank You" and if the person didn't say "You're Welcome" he'd say that too! lol
I'm looking forward to getting to know more moms with kids the same age as Matthew.

Zoe - posted on 11/12/2009

Hello all. I am Zoe, Mum to Eva- Abigail. who was 2, 28.7.07. I have just gone back full time to work, I'm finding it hard, mainly the guilt when she gets sad. We have a very close bond but she is fiercely independent, funny and smart I cried laughing when she said 'Mummy I've dropped my biscuit, I'm devistated' Look forward to getting to know other mums.

So much different the second time around 8 years makes a lot of difference. I am currently working part time for my best friend till I find a full time job I had a full time job until my husband hurt himself back in May and had to be off work for 5 months and was not really able to help take care of the kids so you could say I have been a full time mother to 3 :) for awhile now. I have higher respect for stay at home mothers and single mother. I depend on my husband for so much help with the kids. I hope to get to know some of you ladies on here. Have a wonderful day.

Adelia - posted on 10/30/2009

Hello! My name is Adelia and I am a SAHM to 3 kids Delilah will be 5 in Jan, Gustaf was born July 4th 2007 so hes 2 and Carson is 7mos! Gustaf has been fully potty trained since just before his 2nd birthday, I decided after my youngest was born it was time to be done with diapers so I bought one last pack and by the time we were out of them he was going all day w/out accidents, he wears cloth diapers at night as a precaution but most nights its dry! If I put a regular diaper on him he wets but cloth he goes 90% of the time dry! He is talking very well, and learning his numbers and letters right now he counts perfectly to 2 but never quite gets to three :)) lol he is a very busy boy and if not entertained is very good at finding his own entertainment...which usually results in more work than taking the time to entertain him would be! He is a very sweet boy and is always wanting to help me....which creates a problem because my daughter is a helper too so they fight over helping me! good problem to have i guess! He has such a servants heart. He is so charming, everyone who spends time with him falls in love :)

Katie - posted on 10/29/2009

Oh yeah and my little Ava has no interest whatsoever in potty training. Guess Ill try again in a few months when the baby doesnt need as much attention.

Katie - posted on 10/29/2009

Hi! My name is Katie. I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids and 2 puppies. My oldest Kaiey will be 5 in Nov. My son Zachary turned 3 in March. My 2yr old Ava was born July 31st. And my youngest Samantha was born 09/09/09. We have a 4month old male pit bull who belongs to my husband but has become another of my babies. His name is Coon. And my oldest was given a female pit mix by my BIL as an early bday present. She is a day older than my youngest. Her name is Sparkles. Our house is a crazy house sometimes but wouldnt change it for a thing. My Ava is just now starting to talk. But thanks to Dora and Ki Lan I think she speaks more spanish and chinese than she does english. Oh well. She is a sweet, adorable ball of energy. She was babyed way too much but is starting to show her independence and what she can do without mine or my oldest help! Im so proud of her.

Carolee - posted on 10/23/2009

My name is Carolee, and my son's name is Corbin Eloy. He is mixed (white and Mexican), but the bio dad isn't in the picture. I am a stay-at-home mom, and wife-in-training until May, when I become just "wife". Corbin is a joker and prankster! He's tried fake snoring to make me think he's already taken his nap, put his bug toys in my shoes, and loves to hide then "surprise" you! I like to crochet in my spare time, and on Mondays, I usually play a role-playing game with my fiance and our friend (yes, I am a proud nerd). Corbin recently found the delights of Star Wars: Episode 1. He is also a football fanatic!!!

Becky - posted on 10/23/2009

Hello!My name is Becky and I am also a stay at home mommy to a beautiful,energetic,happy 2 year old,Nevaeh. She is also in the process of getting potty trained and is doing very well. She is a very picky eater,there are days where I can't get her to eat a thing,but then she has her days when all she will do is eat me out of house and home. I asked her Doctor about the whole not eating thing(she can go days) and all she said was that they know when they are hungary and you can't force her to eat.Is anyone else having this problem with thier kids? Or am I the only one with a stubborn 2 year old...lol?

LaShonda - posted on 10/21/2009

My name is Shonda and I am a single mother to my 2 year old stinky pie Kaden. Kaden is very active. I believe he is more hyper than the average 2 year old. Im still waiitngon him to talk well because he started late with the talking thing. Of course he is a real picky eater and his personality is amazing. Im trying to start potty training but he would rather take off his pamper and walk around naked then, sit on the potty lol

Lindsey - posted on 10/19/2009

My name is Lindsey and I am a single mother of an amazing 2 year old, Luke. I work part-time and I go to school full time to better myself for him. Its hard finding the time to juggle everything, but I somehow manage to make it work... I have a wonderful support group. I am starting the potty training thing with Luke, but it is going very slowly, he is a big talker and doesn't like to be quiet... lol. But I am looking forward to getting to know some of yall.

Rachel - posted on 10/13/2009

Hi my name is Rachel and I have a beautiful lil boy and his name is Alex. He is so independent now it is amazing. He is not potty training yet, but hopefully soon. ;-) . He loves puzzles and helping me clean the house. He is a little chatter box too...he says please and thank you to everything. Couple things that he does that makes me upset are: if I tell him no or he doesn't get his way he will hit himself in the face. Is this normal? My mom said I had a temper on me when i was his age and did the same things. Its just so upsetting and to be quite honest with you ladies It makes me cry. And he throws himself to the ground sometimes too...How do I explain to him not to do this anymore? Other than that, he is a bouncing baby boy. Normally he is pretty happy, but just when he gets mad, he really gets mad.

Michelle - posted on 10/12/2009

Greetings! My name is Michelle and I have a 11yr old son named Colton and my daughter Mckenzee was born 07/27/2007. I am a stay at home Mother and have a wonderful husband. Our daughter is very bright and happy. She has her own language but is most capable of letting her needs be known. We have an appointment with a hearing/speech specialist on Wednesday. I am getting ready to start the potty training thing again. She loves to sit on the potty but with no results. I've read some great ideas posted on Circle of Moms and excited to try them! Looking forward to learning more and perhaps helping others. :-)

Sara - posted on 10/11/2009

Hi! My name is Sara and I am the mother of three amazing girls. I work part time as a library clerk and I love it! My girls are 6, 4 and my energetic and talkative 2 year old. She is talking and using bigger words than the older two were at this age. She has started potty training herself and loves anything having to do with pampering herself(baths, brushing teeth, etc.). My Maggie turned 2 on July 6 and is very much a little Mommy, trying to tell her big sisters what to do. My middle daughter has started half-day K and Maggie loves having Daddy to herself in the mornings. She loves shoes and clothes, she is my little diva.

Hi my name is Elisa. I have 2 year old twins named justin jr and eric. we live in arizona. my boys were born 2 1/2 monther premature 2 days before my birthday. I was put in the hopital for preterm labor and was on bed rest in the hospital for 6weeks prior. I was lucky my boys only stayed in the NICU for only a month. They were very strong babies.

Erica - posted on 10/02/2009

I'm Erica. I'm a SAHM with my 2 year old. I own my own business and between that and my son, they keep me busy.

From October through April, you can find us at Staples Center cheering on the Kings. I got my son hooked (just like me) and all of his first words were hockey related.

Nick is in to everything! There is no point babyproofing anything because my little engineer has it figured out in 5 minutes. He loves all kinds of sports and our backyard looks like a locker room!

In my spare time (like I have any!) I scrapbook.

Asma - posted on 10/02/2009

hi im asma and i am a 26 year old part time working mom. My alana was born on 7/22/07. I read the posts above and my daughter has alot in common with most of your kids. She watches dora and kai lan and repeats all that they say and anything anyone else says. She counts to 20 in english, to 10 in spanish, and to 5 in chinese. She is well active and a terrible 2some. She takes one bottle at night and she can feed herself. I am having alot of trouble potty training. Atleast the rest of you ladies are somewhat in progress. Mine, a minute without a diaper and she pees (i am best friends with the resolve carpet and sofa spray, febreeze, and lysol). Im doing great in all other departments but potty training is my only obstacle. Help me.

Nyla - posted on 10/02/2009

Hi everyone, my name is Nyla. I am a sahm with 3 kids, 18 yrs, 14 yrs and my baby Cecilia born 7/11/07. Big age gap between the middle and youngest but even with the juggling required to manage the kids widely varied interests, I'm having a great time. Oh, and yes, we did plan for Cecilia LOL (we get that question all the time =) I love this age, it's amazing to watch a 2 yo develop their independence and personality. I feel like Cecilia is turning into this cool little person right in front of my eyes. Most recently I've been blown away by her use of the word "because". Don't know why, but that really got me. Although I'm enjoying every little accomplishment and milestone, I almost wish it would slow down. With the 18yo leaving for college, I'm truly struck by how quickly this time passes, I feel like he was 2 yesterday.

Michelle - posted on 09/30/2009

Amber - posted on 09/17/2009

My name is Amber, and I'm a 24 year-old mom of Hailey. Right now, I'm trying to balance many hobbies: playing the violin, writing a book, cross-stitching, and yoga. For the rest of you moms, if you can find the time to do yoga, it truly is good healing! :) Right now, Hailey is learning her ABCs and we're trying to get her to learn to count to 15. She can count to 10 right now, but she always misses the number 6. OCD, maybe?? Lol We are also potty training. I feel like we're a little late with it, but I'm sure we'll catch up just fine. *fingers crossed* It's nice to know so many other moms that are at the exact same place I am with my daughter! She's my first, and we plan on having more kids soon.

Samantha - posted on 09/17/2009

Hi Mums. My names Sam i live in Cornwall, UK and im a stay at home mum and also an Usborne books rep. Oliver is 4 in nov and Alfie was born on 6th july, so has just turned 2- like all your children!

Alfie has started pre school this month and doing well, i think it helps that his big bro is there at the same time. My boys are my life and i love them, they are a joy to us both and a great blessing.

I had a tough birth with Alfie, my womb ruptured during labour, from previous c section, he then became distressed and his heartbeat went, i had another c section minutes later, he was born a blue baby and surgeons saved his life. He was a big blonde baby, 8lb 4oz. I loved him. We went home the next day and then the day after i thought pulled a muscle getting out of bed, i told my midwfe and was in great pain. She felt my tummy, said i was fine, i saw her every day and a doctor on the last, i was in agony and told just to rest. 4 days after 'pulling a mscle' my partner took me to the hospital. They operated few hours l;ater. I had servere peritonitis, my bowel had stopped working and my womb was very inflamed.... when i 'pulled my muscle' it was my womb that had ruptured again. I was unbelievably still alive. My organs was slowing shutting done because of the peritonitis. I was in hospital for 3weeks and made a slow recovery.

I Thank God that i'm alive today. It was hard and i'll never forget what happened but Alife really is my life.

Thought that was the best way to introduce myself.....

He's a very happy, energetic and loves to repeat new words. He sure remembers the new words I teach him. My son francis loves to watch Blue's Clues and now Sesame Street after I took him twice to Sesame Place. He's not much of a eater. I'm going crazy trying to see what he would like to eat. Having trouble leaving the milk. He loves to drink his milk in the bottle. I'm trying to make him eat solid food, but with no luck. Hope someone will give me advice.
Looking forward to knowing every1.

Kerry - posted on 09/03/2009

Hi I am Kerry and my little girl Kiah was 2 on 4th july, she is so much more independent than my son was and is already fully potty trained, night and day since just before her 2nd bday, she can use a pen, feed herself etc...only problem Im finding is her speach is much poorer than my son was at her age, she can talk and always gets her opinion and what she wants across but with only a few words...my son was having full blown conversations at this age, but she regulary uses words such as delicious and disgusting and beautiful in the right context....Im wondering if she is just a lazy talker?

By the way my son will be 6 in feb and is in year 1 at school.
