Earlier tonight when the Wife was putting the kiddo to bed I was tasked with getting the baby ready for bed so shes hanging out in her playpen and I'm on the floor looking for her pacifier (soozie) so I say "Adina where is your soozie" I'm not actually addressing her just thinking out loud and she says to me in cute baby talk "I nno" clearly trying to say "I don't know" and I tell you it was the most adorable thing in the world.
The last month or so she has started doing so many new things its just so awesome.

Somebody decided that sleep was for the weak. She's been awake since 3am
Audrey is communicating. Not a lot, she doesn't have a huge vocabulary (about 20 words) but she uses them to tell us exactly what she wants at any time.
She's also using her baby sign language to tell me that, no, she -hasn't- watched enough Disney music videos, daddy.
Unfortunately we're going through another bout of teething hell, which makes nighttime an adventure. One night she'll sleep straight from 7:30-7:30, and the next she's up every hour. Last night she was up a lot, but not making noise, just playing quietly in her crib. That was when we were awake, which makes me wonder what she was up to when we were asleep. We took her to brunch with grandpa and grandma, and the staff singing happy birthday to the table next to us just set her off.

We had our first transition visit at daycare this morning.
Got there just in time for morning snack. Which Ellie took part in. She sat by my feet for all of five minutes and then went off to play.
She's exploring the room and the other babies and I'm just sitting in a corner watching her and fighting tears.
It's the oddest thing to feel irrelevant.
But I'm less worried about her at daycare. I'm more worried about me.

I dunno how she did it but my niece had a dirty diaper, but a good part of the mess was up her back. Totally ruined one of her cute outfits. She's been very uncooperative on the changing table too, turning over and spinning around pretty fast for a baby. So of course when I'm trying to clean her she gets the mess on it, and then turns over into it. May as well resort to a bath at this point.

I was at my dear friend's house last night, and his sister and him ran out and left me watching the twin babies
which, like, awesome, I love these little goofs
they both pooped at the same time, no it wasn't even poop it was a massacre
and I had to akimbo wield some diapers and wipes and such, while singing a nonsense song to keep them from moving

My Mum tells me I did that once. At a friends house. During lunch.
Poop up my back, out both leg holes, and all over the high chair.
They didn't even bother unclipping me, just carried the high chair outside with me in it and started hosing me down, all the while the guy whose house they were at was laughing so much he was choking.

Think of it as a physics problem. Poop comes out at an extreme velocity and then hits a solid surface and just bounces. You know those bouts of explosive diarrhea you suffer from not eating well? Imagine that while sitting on a closed toilet lid. My beloved spouse and I learned this lesson at the exact same time we learned the car seat did not have a removable seat cover. Learn from our mistakes.

Our car seats had removable seat covers, thank goodness. But they were a little frustrating to take off and a huge pain to put back on. I hadn't really thought about it before, but for new parents buying car seats for the first time: go somewhere you can actually try removing and reattaching the seat cover, and find one you're comfortable with. Most of the time you'll never need to, but when you hit a stretch where you need to wash the seat cover 3 times in less than a week or two you'll be glad you did.
Oh lord, I never even though of a baby rocket pooping out of their clothes into the car seat. And now that I'm aware of that as a thing, you know it's going to happen with this new baby.

Puking and spilled milk were much bigger problems for us in the car seats. I think we only ever had one poop related cleaning between both kids.

Is there a way to stop her from pooping forever?
No, but there are several ways you can increase the frequency and force of her pooping. For example, the daycare could get a bit of a rotating staff who are never told that your child doesn't deal well with apple juice. In fact it cause violent, horrific, nightmare inducing amounts of shit to cover everything in your life. Your child may have learned to ask for juice though, and just never connects the upset stomach to the juice. This would hypothetically be absolutely terrible if you enjoy having your car smell like something that isn't baby poop since she would always seem to get one last glass for the road right before you show up.

I've noticed two things about Apple Juice when my daughter has it:
1) It helps her get more regular, which is great when she hasn't poo'd in a while.
2) Too much gives her a rash, probably from the acidic nature of it.
So I usually give her Apple Juice once a day, but only around 4oz or so. Anything more than 6-8 I've noticed causes the breakout. And watching her cringe in pain while cleaning her is unbearable.

Abigail has found it fun to pull up/off the baby proofing strips on the table. Any recommendations for good double-sided tape that won't leave gunk when removed? Amazon has 3M, which is great, but I can't find any that isn't industrial/permanent strength.
Derp, nevermind. I just found several sheets of the stuff that came with the strips. Forgot I put into storage.

That kid just got his birthday present from us (a Huffy Lightning McQueen scooter and protective gear) tonight, and my parents are going to get theirs for him (a play tent) as soon as we can be decisive about what he wants and will fit in our space. He is getting those things so soon because shortly after his birthday it will start getting too hot to be outside for long periods of time to do activities like that, and he needs his own space ASAP because he currently has literally none. I'm guessing the tent will end up being in the next couple weeks.
So it is a really good thing that he will have something awesome on his actual birthday (May).. he's getting to the age where other kids in his class are getting thrown these huge parties that on their own literally cost more than all three gifts, on top of whatever they're given.. we can't afford anything close to that. We're rapidly approaching the stage where he's going to notice that he doesn't get the kind of stuff the other kids do, and that's a little terrifying to me.
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

A friend is pregnant with her second kid and apparently struggling to communicate the impending sibling to her eldest.
The current state of affairs is her three year old informing her mummy that she's being silly as it's the toddler with a baby inside her. A baby called Anabelle. Check mate mummy.
But does anybody have any resources for communicating pregnancy to toddlers?

You can have a lot of fun with very little money. My most memorable birthday parties were scavenger hunts and other stuff around our property that involved, at most, some rope, a rubber snake, some pumpkins and old shirts (to make ghosts coming out of the ground). IME kids remember time and attention, not pure dollars spent. There will be some kids that point out some stuff like that, but kids generally care more about the experience they had vs. how much admission cost as they ain't the ones paying.

Yeah the kiddo went to 3 parties

Bowling
Trampoline park.
We researched all three and we couldnt afford any of those ourselves if we wanted. We did a decorate your own cupcake party, had some classic party games and then the kids sat down and all played minecraft together.
