19 Months!

He actually turned 19 months on Saturday, so I'm a little behind this month. Maybe if I keep waiting, he'll never leave the teens? I'm a bit afraid of entering the "20" months. Yikes.

I think that the current age has been the easiest and most fun thus far! He's such an easy going child, even though he does have a firm opinion. Signing really helps him communicate, so we're not have any tantrums going on. He sleeps well and goes to sleep somewhat easily, and he's just a blast to play with. It's just my energy keeping up with him that has some struggles sometimes.

19 month stats:

• no clue how big/long he is
• still wearing 12-18 month clothes, although it's closer to the 18 month sizes now
• naps consistently 1.5-3 hours and sleeps through the night! He only got up once a handful of nights in the past month. Pure amazing.
• 12 teeth; no signs of the canines as of yet
• can now point out his armpits, elbows and cheeks
• can catch a ball, if big enough
• can dribble a heavy ball (like an actual basketball as opposed to his rubber balls)
• is showing some major favoritism to his left hand in coloring and in eating
• is starting to drink from a cup, although it can get messy
• know that you go "tee-tee" in the potty
• loves helping out with everything around the house
• likes to show you that he's strong
• shrugs his shoulders and says "dunno" read: I don't know
• favorite food: peanut butter
• favorite book: still Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
• favorite activity: blocks of all kinds

Wordless Wednesday

(PS- I know I'm so behind in posts. I'll get back into it some day...)

Back to Square 1

CD 1.

I'm not even upset about it. We had crappy timing, and it's just the first cycle. Sure, it was a long as crap cycle, but it's just the first. It took three cycles to get pregnant with Jeffrey, so I'm sure I'll become more invested if it takes longer than that. Of course, I'm fairly positive that it will because you can clearly see that my cycles were much prettier pre-Jeffrey than they are now by just a simple glance at my charts. Plus, I know that breastfeeding isn't exactly helping my cause. I'm more concerned that my LP was only 9-10 days, and that's if I ovulated at the earliest that I could, based on my missing temps. So, I'm hoping for a shorter cycle and a longer LP this time around.

Is it strange that I'm sad that this cycle didn't end on CD 100? What a clean number to end it all on.

I AM glad that I'll be able to kick AF to the curb before our road trip. Because that would have seriously sucked.
