How old is baby, bump, ttc?
17 months


Anything recent happening?
I need to set his 18 month appt.  He's really mastering the temper tantrum.  He's also getting more words down, but gets super frustrated when he can't communicate what he wants or doesn't get what he wants.  He's big on doing things himself and/or "helping" me do everything.  Oh, and following me around saying "up" and/or clinging onto my leg.  


Favorite foods as of recent (for you and kids) ?
I'm a lazy mom lately.  Chicken nuggets, turkey meatballs, and mac & cheese are the regular rotation.  He likes anything he can dip in ketchup and/or feed himself.  Applesauce has made a come back b/c he can feed himself-ish w/ a spoon.  And juice, it's always about the juice.


Whats the most memorable moment you've had as a mom lately?
 All the temper tantrums.  Refuses to drink juice I poured b/c he wanted to help get it out of the fridge.  Refuses to eat banana I sliced for him b/c he wants to eat the whole banana I am eating.

2.5. She's amazing. She's funny, and kind, and fun and smart. We are having so much fun with her. She's been so well behaved lately. Such a joy.

No major mile stones but she's talking and singing all the time now and has a large vocabulary. Hide and seek is her new favorite. She and my h play it and both of them get into giggle fits over it. Haha.

We are planning her big girl room. We have actually been reading books in the guest room, which will be her room. I set up a cozy reading area and I want her to get used to spending time in that room before making the transition. In a couple of months.

How old is baby, bump, tic?  M is 4yrs old and J is now 1yr old. The bump monster is 16 weeks

Anything recent happening? We are just adjusting back to normal life and schedules right now. We have told our parents about the baby and we are now just trying to hold out until the 4th to tell everyone else since we will know the sex by then (as long as baby is cooperative). Still trying to find a cute way to announce though.

Favorite foods as of recent (for you and kids) ?  The girls are all over with food. J is loving her soy yogurt though, apples and basically whatever I am eating. M is hit and miss as still the picky eater. She loves popcorn and french fries. Thankfully both girls love broccoli.  I am enjoy avocado toast. I haven't had it in a while but rediscovered it and I've been having it for lunch for the last couple weeks. 

Whats the most memorable moment you've had as a mom lately?
Watching J try to do more things like M. It has been a big struggle with the age gap between the girls and finding a happy medium between the two but it's getting better and I am loving watching J try to copy M or just follow her around and just be near big sister.

What's their age gap again?

ilovebed we are at 3yrs and 1 day of a gap. Another issue is also just M. She is kind of missing the whole idea of playing gentle and understanding that sister can't just jump right in to all the things she does. Yet she is very much a I don't want to share any of my toys and things but you can and will share your things with me. We have been working as much as we can with her on it but either its just not clicking or she just doesn't care enough to want to go that way. So its made things much more difficult.

Baby lefty is almost 7 months old. ..more than halfway through a year. 

Nothing special happening really.  He can almost push up on his hands and knees. Or, rather, he can but he can't balance.  I'm grateful for these last days of immobility

He doesn't really like food yet. He's had quite a few different veggies and fruits and quinoa and the only thing he has accidentally swallowed is blueberries.  But it was accidental swallowing. Mostly he just gags and blows raspberries until all the food is out of his mouth..eating is such a clean activity in our house.

Most memorable moment?  Idk. H has been getting super excited to see my dad lately and it melts my heart. He starts hyperventilating every time he sees my dad. Lol.
