It’s been a really long time since I’ve posted on this blog! A lot has happened in a year. My little guy turned 2 this past summer, and he’s more fun than ever! He’s learning new things every single day. He’s using the potty on his own (with some accidents, of course!). He’s also got a definite personality of his own. At the core of it all is a sweat demeanor that tells me he’s going to be a wonderful person as he grows up. I can’t imagine loving anyone more.
In other news, we’re expecting another baby! I’m due in March, and we find out the sex of the baby in just 2 days. I can’t decide whether I wish for a boy or a girl. Of course, I’d be happy with any healthy baby. It’s fun to think about our little man having a brother. But he’d make an excellent brother to a little sister, too.
I’m excited about Christmas coming up. It’s definitely time to start listening to Christmas carols!
Hi all, it’s been a few months since I’ve posted, for shame! There have been so many changes here lately, it’s almost unbelievable!
Let’s see…he was in his 9th month before he got his first tooth. He seems to be a slow tooth grower 
He now has 5 teeth, but they are all half in and half out. Of course, that’s made for some very interesting breastfeeding sessions, oi!
The problem is that I’ll try and say a strict, “no!” But he thinks the word no is funny! I have no idea what to do with a 10 month old who thinks no is hilarious. Oh well, he seems to have stopped biting for now. One time I think he really got it that it hurt me.
He is also VERY mobile now. He can whip around here and there without a care in the world. When he stops bouncing so much he can even stand very well. I definitely think he’ll be walking before he’s a year old.
One thing that kind of bothers me is how everyone always comments on how “big” he is. While he certainly is bigger than normal for his size, he’s certainly not fat. It’s just always been his way. It’s like…yeah, I get it, he’s big for his age… 
But boy is he cute! His hair is growing so fast…not quite time to get it cut yet (I’m afraid he’d be whipping all over making for a very tough time for the barber!) But it’s long. He still has my eyes, and his daddy’s hair
He’s also becoming an expert at feeding himself. I don’t mean with a spoon…I wouldn’t quite trust him to handle a spoon yet 
But my husband will make pancakes and we’ll tear some for him. He’ll pinch the pieces and eat them! He LOVES the Gerber stars and yogurt rounds.
We’re having a few sleeping issues…probably my fault. Well, since he’s teething (Seems like it’s constant) and I stay up late to work, there comes a point where I just bring him into our bed. And since my husband leaves for work so early I kind of like the baby in there for company. Plus, I can nurse him at night if necessary.
That brings me to another point…I’ve always planned on nursing him for at least a year…but he doesn’t seem anywhere close to weaning! I think once he can “name it”…that’s where I draw the line No words yet…
I’ll definitely start posting more, what a year it’s been!
