Mr. Magoo Turns TWO & 20 Week Ultrasound!

MARCH

We are so thankful to be out of that DREADFUL February weather where we were snowed (or frozen in) in almost every day for 3 weeks! Back to the mid 60s and low 70s. Every day of every winter should exhibit such fine qualities.

Wolf Creek (Happy Birthday Me)
I had originally planned this trip to be a ride hard, drink hard, sit in the hot springs for HOURS kind of birthday celebration but unfortunately my little green olive had different ideas. We did get one day of spring riding in but fished the second day (caught some dinner too!) The place we stayed at was marvelous! I can't wait to rent it again (in two years.) *SIGH*

• Jaxen likes to walk around humming to himself.
• Still fights nap in the rare occasion but of course I always win.
• Plays with other children! Finally! 

APRIL

First Check Up With Melissa (the midwife)
Yep. Going that route again. Maybe this time I will be able to have the home birth of my dreams. Heart rate 160-170bpm! Measuring 10cm! Everything sounds good for baby #2!!

BACK TO FL!

This time we stayed in Naples with our GG's. We had a good time at the beach and the zoo but the weather wasn't good so we had to be inside a lot. Luckily we had the tablet! Travel was rough though. I can't say I'll be traveling very far alone with him again but at least being two he'll have to have his own seat now.

First day with no nap ever this month. He slept over time the next couple days to make up for it. Still, he fights nap time a little more frequently than before. It's happened a handful of times especially on our airplane travel days. I've just moved his nap later to 3pm and that seems to work ok.

Not eating more than two bites of anything. Mostly fruit, cheese and yogurt :(

MAY

• I thought we'd start getting rid of the bottle by now but no. Why ruin a good thing? Perhaps his real birthady (EDD was late June) will see better luck.
• Mimicking sentences.
• Summersaults? Not sure where he got the idea to attempt them but they're happening!
• Still in the pack n play....dreading the change to real bed. Why ruin a good thing?
• Still not eating great. Slightly better.
• Trying to use the potty around diaper change times. It's not a consistent effort but I don't want to force anything at the moment. We have enough disagreements as it is.
• Being inside all day because of all the rain is kiiillllllliiiinnnnnnggggg US.

Here are some May photos.

34.5 inches tall & 28.7 lbs!!

20 Week Ultra Sound!!!!

Nom, nom HAND.

IT'S A.....................

YES! Team blue again! I'm psyched! Boys are so cool. More importantly, a great weight has been lifted; he has all his parts and pieces in working order. This guy is a mover and a shaker like Jaxen (if you recall his nick name was Taz before we settled on Jaxen) but I don't remember feeling him as early as 12 weeks like I have with this one. Maybe I just know how it goes the second time around.

There is tremendous joy in knowing this is the last baby. (Permanent methods will be employed.)

VOTE FOR A FIRST NAME HERE! (Amended name poll.)

Lastly, I have a lot to do before baby2 comes and not a lot of energy. You may not hear from me until AFTER dude arrives in September, October, November (?)
