So, I have totally slacked blogging and I have lots of excuses. One major one is being exhausted. I can't remember being as tired when I was pregnant with Hartz, but I was working every day pretending I wasn't pregnant and shoving down snacks and afternoon cokes daily. Now, when I put Hartz down for a nap, I feel like I could stand with my eyes shut and be out till bedtime. ha. So, simply put blogging has not been so much of a priority. Otherwise, I feel really great and we are thrilled to be blessed with another sweet baby at the end of July.

Our boy is 1 1/2 years old plus 1 month.
18 month doctor visit update
24 lbs 2 oz (25th percentile)
33 inches (60th percentile)
head is 75th percentile
He got a couple shots and we won't head back to dr amber until he is 2!! seems so crazy that we won't go to the doctor but once a year from then on.
New words:
Batman (with dancing following to "na-na-na-na-na, BATMAN")
Bear (with a drawn out rrrr at the end.. sounds more like BURRR)
Up
He signs please all the time. We are getting the sign sometimes before the whine for something... progress.
He is napping 2-3 hours and it is glorious. He is waking up in the morning way too early, but I keep hoping it is the last 8 teeth coming in... ok, I am not quite sure how many teeth are coming in, but he refuses to let me look in there and I learned you DO NOT stick your finger in a toddlers mouth. hurts bad. He gnaws on his hand at night especially, so something seems to be going on.
He loves bath time.. we call it "swimming" .. he lays on his belly and kicks and kicks and kicks... with giggling and looking at me after every time. Do we really have to pay for swim lessons?!
He loves being outside and kicking and throwing balls.
He gives kisses randomly and will sometimes snuggle if you ask him. I LOVE THIS. SO MUCH.
We did move his car seat forward facing and car rides are way more enjoyable. Do you know how easy it is to just hand goldfish to a kid facing you in the backseat, than chucking them over a carseat and praying he finds them so he will stop fussing?!
He is imitating us way more too. He likes to use tupperware and wooden dishes to "cook" up some meals for us.
Chris let a few of us ladies go away for a night and took Hartz to Epcot. Best Daddy Ever.

On another front, we think we have purchased a new home. We are closing Feb 17th, so I guess nothing is for sure until you leave closing with the keys in your hand, right?! We are way excited to have space and be on a street that Hartz will ride his bike on one day. It is definitely bittersweet to be leaving our first home.
I of course didn't take a picture of the front of the house on inspection day, so you just get a back side peek.
This was a blog that should have been about 8 separate ones. I apologize. But, I do now feel caught up. Whew.
