LB has 17 out of 20 baby teeth... 85% done, yay! Now I am just hoping we can hang onto them for awhile with the amount of trips and tumbles that take place through the day!
I must start remembering to take more pictures. After LB turned one, I just kind of quit and have missed some really good photo opportunities. However, I did not miss this one of our little "cool dude." If only he could reach those pedals lol.
Another reason it's hard to get pictures these days is because LB is going, going, going ALL the time. I have a bunch of blurry pics!
PC and I have been trying to reconnect lately. It's not that we have been arguing, it just feels like we've missed out on more than a year of really talking and listening to one another. We both understand why but don't want it to become the "norm." One thing that has helped is putting up a safety rail on our bed and moving LB to the side so we can get back to some snuggling! (Anything more than that has to be a little more planned and strategic!) Of course it would really help if LB stayed in his own bed longer than midnight but we also do much better as a couple when we get some sleep!
I am going for a job interview later this week. The odds are not in my favor due to many factors but I keep trying to tell myself it will be "good experience" and might lead to another opportunity. I'm searching for something that is an increase in pay but know that will also mean more hours & workload. Any step up in pay right now would help us to get in a better financial situation so that we might have other options when LB is a little older. Job searching and interviews are so stressful, ugh!
Tantrums. Have. Arrived. They are not every day and they don't last long but... take this kid inside when he wants to stay outside and you see him morph into a closed fists, red face, screaming/growling/crying mess! So far these have only taken place at home but wow do I have more sympathy for the parents of the screamer in the grocery store now!
I'm really excited about easing LB into a Mother's Morning Out program through the summer and two days every week this fall. More about that and the search for a sitter later. Right now I'm struggling to hold my eyes open and have to take advantage of some good rest these few short hours that LB sleeps in his crib. Thanks to anyone who kept reading through our life lately and hopefully I will get some time soon to comment on all the posts I've read recently.

Such a stud in that first picture! I think it's great that you and PC are taking time out to reconnect. I think many of us could use some of that in our own relationships. Good luck at the interview!! And the tantrums, oh the tantrums. We have been luck (so far) too and haven't really had an issue out in public yet either, but I know it's coming. And I do have much more sympathy for other parents now.
Good luck at your interview!
Oh the tantrums... they just suck. It's so hard at times to keep calm.
I am nervous out our PMO program (parents morning out) just because leaving Matthew will be hard on me... but I am also excited at the same time!
Lids is the same way lately... so hard to photograph because she is always on the move!!! Photos are all blurry. Oh and she is also the same in the tantrum department!! Ahhhh. Toddlers! So fun but soooo moody!! :P
I am working on trying to reconnect a bit more with Anthony lately too. We are happy and chatty but still feel in a rut in deeper ways... and physically uggg. Hoping things spice up a bit soon.
Best of luck with your job interview!!
I could SO have written this post myself. We all understand that life gets busy. Good luck with your interview!! I just had one last Wednesday for very similar reasons...*fingers crossed* that something great happens for both of us!
oh man!! I know what you re talking about!! I co slept with Alexander til month I think 11. It was rough! Now finally he sleeps in his crib at night mostly no problem but the naps are a struggle! And the not talking to my husband part..I hear ya. The first year was really rough right? This second half is a little easier for sure, but still...I love and appreciate having Alex in my life..I just wish I could afford more babysitting time for at least a date night once a week:) Tantrums ha? Deep breath!!! I actually just breathed for you. Yes..Alexander gets so pissed when I nee to wash his face. His face gets all red and screams real loud. I am shocked and I think he gets shocked too!!! What to do in this situations...that makes me want to write a post about other people's opinions. It can get really annoying with other opinions..right!
