Thanks! Wow! Surprised that Parker was so small----she seems like the quint that is the most developed and mature.

I really wanted to like Brooke because she seemed so loving to her baby. Then when she reacted to taking care of him at home, I was so disappointed. That baby is so adorable and seems so calm. Someone needs to tell her to appreciate the time she has with the baby. As someone who had to immediately go back to work, I envy mothers who can enjoy staying home with their precious babies! Agree that she made too much of a big deal over pumping in the club, while announcing it to everyone. I also noticed that Aly and Josh seem much more attuned to Lydia than their biological baby. Was this for the cameras or producer driven?

I am so happy to find this site as no one I know watches this show and I find myself wondering what other people are thinking. This has been bothering me.....I am disturbed by Riley's behavior. I don't think it is funny or cute, as the adults on the show seem to think. I cringed when Adam called her "bad" . This is no what you want to do when a child needs behavior interventions. I have not observed any efforts to control her aggressive behavior. If some simple strategies are used now, she will probably be fine. I liked the idea someone had that Danielle could keep one quint out of school each day and spend special time with her. Such individual attention may help with all of their behavior. I am withholding judgement on Hazel until a future season, but I am mildly concerned that she seems to be in her own world and does not seem as aware as her sisters. Does anyone know the birth weights/order of birth of the five. I don't want to be negative because I return to the show each week and truly admire Danielle. I do enjoy watching the girls' activities and development.
