Maybe when the nursery gets more put together.

His speech isn’t that advanced yet, so it’s kind of hard to figure out what he’s getting and isn’t.

ETA- My dd will be 2 in three weeks. At 19 months she wasn’t talking anywhere near this much. Language seems to explode between 18-24 months. So he will likely express more over the next few months!

His vocab has been kind of exploding lately. It’s not very clear but we know what he’s trying to say. He’s light years ahead of where he was 4 months ago when our pediatrician told us we needed to start working with him. It’s so fun to watch.

I did try to get him to give baby sister a kiss tonight. Lol He just leaned in to me to give me a kiss. Which was adorable and I gladly accepted. Haha

3. Questions for the group?
If you have older children that would understand pregnancy (and loss) when did you tell them? My dd is 4. We’ve only told our close friends but no family. Mostly because we are a little fearful to tell her.

My DD was almost 4 when we told her. We didn't tell her until I was in second tri, and we were comfortable with anyone and everyone knowing, because we knew she would tell everyone (and she did). She was totally not impressed at first but eventually got super excited.

We waited until second tri to tell our 6-year-old for this exact reason.  He is like the town crier.

4. Any new years resolutions? I don’t usually make them, I’d like to try to work to be kind and gentle with myself as I learn to be a mom and balance life.

This is a wonderful resolution!!
