Crawling, crawling, crawling! Everywhere and into everything. And we have 8 teeth...and counting.

My pictures won't load. Harumph.

I'm 26w4d, and baby is kicking/moving/tumbling away. I really wish he'd pick a spot and stay there. I'm also getting BHs like crazy. They're super annoying and somewhat painful, especially around my c/s scar. I have a feeling my scar tissue is getting a workout.

M is great. She's much better, and back to her normal self. She's been super sweet and lovey, and talking up a storm. She's so funny, too, she loves making us laugh and being silly. She does, however, have a huge issue telling us 'no!' and being indignant. We're trying to stamp it out of her. Also if we do get stern with her, she asks to see Tata and Toto. She likes to ask to see other people who will either give her what she wants or give her sympathy. We're going to have to talk to ILs about giving in to her and coddling her if she's in trouble... Which should be a fun conversation!

here's the boy giving me my mother's day gift.

he is a FAST crawler..but he still hates being put down in general. he was doing good for a while, but back to his old ways. when put down, he crawls to me, crying the whole time...it's really sad to see, but so adorable, too.

i mentioned in the moms day post that both kids have HFM..they're almost cleared up now, but h now has it pretty bad! he is blistered, and in tingling pain, and is on his second day off of work..

eczema wise, the boys skin is actually a lot better than it used to be. i think it's cause i've been *good* about what i've been eating... i normally am saying "one small bite is okay"..etc.. but i haven't had chocolate in 2 weeks (kill me now).

If the ultrasounds are to be believed I'm 10w3d today. I have a huge cyst on my ovary that they are watching closely, hoping it doesn't rupture. DD is growing like a weed and is finally over 20#'s (the dr I saw on Monday thought she was only about a year old instead of 18 months!). DS is in trouble again this time for pulling his pants down on the playground at school. He says that he just felt like it. UGH I'm not looking forward to his teenage years LOL

jennlin: What's wrong with chocolate? o.O

My kid's latest thing is the word 'silly' (siwwy) I have no idea where he learned it, but he uses it appropriately and it's adorable.

Most the time, milk.

Some of Theo's chocolate is dairy and soy free. I think they have a sipping chocolate mix that is vegan too (and I think soy free).

I remember Fran's dark chocolates are also dairy free, but I don't recall if they are soy free.

And some recipes:

nomnompaleo.com/post/14764008847/nom-nom-chocolate-truffles

Non-local, but also good: www.askinosie.com/

Hot Cakes in Ballard has a gluten-free, dairy-free hot cake. But not entirely sure about the soy content there.

There's also 'banana' ice cream that's been making it's rounds on facebook and I imagine pinterest: nomnompaleo.com/post/54917164353/chunky-monkey-ice-cream-bon-bons

I really want to try this sometime. ^^

yes, most dark chocolate is dairy free...but a lot of my chocolate consumption comes from m&m's in trail mix, granola bars, and ferrero rocher. unsupervised, i will eat 10 ferrero rocher's a day. and then these chinese chocolate cookies that i have no idea the ingredients at all..probably stuff that's banned in the US.

It just ate my long-ass haven't-posted-hdbd-in-months post, but it said: moving is fun, solid food sucks and overall happy and healthy.

I have a testy 3 year old. and a growing way to fast baby. I pulled out the next size up of clothing to wash and realized I packed a good amount of stuff that should have been with the size J is wearing now. Grrr so I am going to see what from it she can still fit into but my hopes are not high She is hardly spending any time in these clothes and it's just crazy. M got our money's worth out of the clothes when she wore them.

Oh and we have kind of started food for J. You would think she has been eating for a while now with how well she does. Go figure though my blender dies right when I buy all this food to make into baby food.

Taken Monday:




Also taken Monday: I got doggybombed. I can't stop laughing at that last photo. She is the most ridiculous.




I start appointments every two weeks now! And Dan was finally able to feel her kick. AND I got a video of her moving from the outside. Where did my pregnancy go so quickly??

BLB had a crazy language explosion when we were in Maryland last week. I just caught up in my little journal and couldn't even recall some of the off the wall things she's been saying.
Highlights are: she calls her pacifier FaFu and yells FaFu Down! like "man down!" whenever she drops it or anything else, when she sees our house on the way home she starts yelling (Hoooome hooome!), she says "Daddy, are you? (like where are you?) or Desi, are you?, she says My for I so she'll say "My hiding" instead of I'm hiding which I think it adorable. She's also developing quite a sense of humor. H will say to her "What kind of animal do you see? and she will say something funny like "penguin" and then he'll say "what color is the penguin? is it pink? "Neeewww" is it green? "Newwwww" is it purple "Newwwww" is it blue? "Yeh!" What is the penguin doing? "Hopping! hop hop hop"
She's just a nutty girl.
She was an angel during our very busy trip in Maryland. We were in the car so much and stretched the limits of her patience but she hung in there and had a blast at the beach. I have never seen so much joy. She loooved the sand "More sand! Mah beach?" Everything is hers right now. "Mah blinky. Mah nana. Mah Daddy."

Her pediatrician keeps telling me not to worry about her weight bc she will thin out between two an three but she's so chubby! She eats constantly (all healthy foods). I don't even let her have juice and I'm cutting back on almond milk bc she gets all the calories she needs from food. She can only wear stretch pants or dresses bc her thighs and belly won't fit into jeans. Lol. She's so healthy and happy and smart. I just worry about it bc it's and issue I have struggles with since I was a kid too.
