A 1 1/2 Year Old

Dylan turned 18 months last week and I decided it is time to start calling him 1 1/2. Too much math to count Dylan's age in months and this pregnancy in weeks. He is growing up so fast and has had so many new changes and adventures this past week, both good and bad. First, he quit sleeping through the night. Out of nowhere he is up crying at least twice in the middle of the night. He usually throws a little tantrum before bedtime and his nap as well. And speaking of his nap, it has shortened from 2.5 hours to 1-1.5 hours. Good thing there is a tv in his room because it may be time to start putting on a movie so I have a little more quiet time around here.

Another exciting development is that Mimi got Dylan to go on the potty twice last week. He is definitely not ready for potty training yet but he quickly learned that he was rewarded with M&Ms when he told Mimi he had to poop. We'll see if he does it again tomorrow... At our house, the bathroom is his favorite playroom. He is obsessed with toilettries and the bathtub.
We took Dylan for his first trip over to the John Deere Pavillion yesterday. A must for a QC toddler! He was too busy for photographs but we did our best. We'll definitely go back.


Not much else exciting to report. I'm 12 weeks now with # 2 and feeling fine. Pants are starting to get pretty tight already so that's a little embarassing but one of the joys of second pregnancy. Happy Sunday!

Welcome 2011....

... and all of the joys and challenges you will bring! #1 on the list this year = Dylan's new play mate arrives this summer. I am almost 10 weeks pregnant due early August. It is going to be a tough couple of years (I can't even imagine right now) but someday I think he will think me for it. Anyway, that's the big news here. I somehow got behind on the blog with Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years but it should be a long cold winter so I'll try to do better. Just had to post this quick one for Ann :) HAPPY NEW YEARS FRIENDS!
