18 Month Milestones

(OOPS! I originally posted this as "16 Month Milestones" what was I thinking?? He's almost 19 months now! Pregnancy brain and mommy brain at their finest!)
I've realized lately that I've been really bad at writing down Jaxson's milestones. I feel like once he reached 1 year the baby book got pushed to the back of the shelf never to be seen again.  I also feel like he is changing so much every week that it's hard to answer when people ask when he started saying/doing certain things. Here's all the most current highlights I can think of:

*Says somewhere between 15-20 words now including: hi, bye or byebye, wawa (water), cook=book, coke=toast, up, dada, mama, nana, papa, kitty, car (his FAVORITE word), grape (kinda), nana=snack, and also his version of "outside" that only I pick up on, shoe (kinda), fish (kinda)
He's adding to it all the time too! Sometimes I'm the only one who knows what he means because he doesn't quite get the right sounds or consonants but he's trying!
*Blows Kisses
*Gives real kisses and hugs
*Beeps noses and now makes sort of a "beep" noise when you press his
*LOVES climbing up the back of the couch to sit in the window behind it
*Likes looking thru his books
*Kind of a picky eater - mainly is just leery of new things but usually takes to them eventually
*Still an amazing sleeper
*Is getting into 2T sized clothes and size 5-6 shoes
*OBSESSED with sitting in the car - messes with all the blinkers, buttons, wipers
*Says "vroo vroo" in association with cars
*Likes music and sometimes swings and throws his arms around to dance but gets embarrassed if he sees you watching
*Says "hi dada" "hi mama" or "hi" anything a LOT
*Has LOTS of teeth! Last I checked I think there were 14, only 6 to go

Well, I think that's about all the main things I can think of. He's always doing weird new things and has such a little personality that it's impossible to list it all!

Time Flies!

Oh boy I can't believe it's been 2 months since I've updated this! I'm sure so much has happened I can't even remember it. However the most important thing (that most people, if not all of you know) is that we're expecting baby #2! Yup, and it's a complete deja vu because Jaxson was due on October 31st 2012 (although born on the 16th) while this one is due on October 27th! So these two will be exactly 2 years apart! I'm about 14.5 wks along now and doing pretty well. "Morning" sickness didn't hit quite as hard or for as long as it did with Jaxson, so that was nice, so that means so far this pregnancy is going a little bit smoother.

Let's see...other than just a couple fun family outings (on to the Seattle Aquarium and another to a Mariner's game) not a ton is happening around here. We've had beautiful weather this week so Jaxson and I have been getting out most of the day every day. He has been having fun playing with the sprinkler a bit.

 

 

We enjoyed a nice Easter weekend at my parent's house as well. Weather cooperated and allowed us to have a semi-sunny egg hunt which was fun since it was Jaxson's first "real" hunt. I quote "real" because we still did all the hunting, he just enjoyed carrying the basket and throwing the eggs, haha.

 

We're going into the season of travel plans, and I love it! Jaxson and I have a trip booked to Boise for about 4 days the end of this month. My best friend will be having her first baby any day now and I can't wait to see her and meet baby girl!

Just a few weeks later all 3 of us will (finally!) be heading to San Diego for about a week. It has been almost a year and a half since our last visit so we're very excited to see everyone! We even get to catch a Padres vs Mariners game while we're there!

I'm sure we'll have more trips to report as time goes and we do more planning but we're excited for these 2 so far!
