1. How are things going? Has the year gone by fast or slow?
This year has flown by! We've been incredibly busy between the kids, the house renovations, and work that I feel like the past year has been a crazy blur.
2. What fun things is your LO doing right now?
She does this hysterical dance/wiggle thing when she's happy. I'd post a video if I could figure out how, lol. She's pulling to stand and desperately wants to walk but has not started cruising yet. She also STTN which is pretty fun for me considering neither of her sisters did this until they were 2.5!
3. What is their nap schedule like?
She's started transitioning to one long (3 hour nap) in the afternoon but some days she still needs two: one around 11 am and another around 3:30.
4. What are they eating these days? Any plans to wean, if applicable?
She gets a mix of purées and table food. She gags on anything with a thicker texture.
5. What are your plans for your lo's birthday? Are you throwing a party?
We're just having a family party at our house. The party is in about 2 weeks and the theme is the Very Hungry Caterpillar..
Let me know if you want to sell any Caterpillar party stuff when you are done!!
I'm willing to sell everything but her outfit (I bought it big so that it would fit all summer)! Her party is on 6/7. I'll PM you afterward
1. How are things going? Has the year gone by fast or slow? Like others said, both! His birth seems like ages ago, but I can't believe he is almost 1 (July 2). Certain months seem to last forever, and I don't want them to end. I am loving the older baby times.
2. What fun things is your LO doing right now? Let's see, he waves and claps. He says dada regularly and hi a couple times. He points at things. He loves to watch cars from the window. He can turn on the Xbox. And then yell at it to try to activate the voice commands. Also I can tell he is starting to understand some things that we say which is fun.
He has also given me a hug and lots of "kisses". He likes to push things under the couch and then flatten himself onto his stomach to try to retrieve them. He will toss his o-ball around with us. When he nurses he smooths his hand over my stomach like "oh this is so flat." I love that. Better than when he pinches my fat!
3. What is their nap schedule like? He usually needs a nap if he's been up for 2-2.5 hours. So often 3 a day.
4. What are they eating these days? Any plans to wean, if applicable? He has no teeth. So far he eats purees and sometimes puffs or yogurt melts. He was gagging on actual solid food, and the pedi said to only give that to him as he had the pincer grasp to put things like grapes or pieces of cheese in his mouth. Now that he can handle chunky purees I aspire to mash up some of our dinners for him to try. I am thinking of starting to wean once he's one. Today was my last day of work, so no more pumping! Glorious.
5. What are your plans for your lo's birthday? Are you throwing a party? Yes, a small one but I have no idea what I am going to do.
6. Any plans to TTC again? Yes. I have to wait 18 months from my c-section before trying again, so another 7-8 months before we do ivf. I am 37, and who knows if the next round will work or if we will need to try multiple times, so we can't wait too long.
