Baby Bear is 19 Months Old!

I've missed a lot of updates for my little rainbow guy.  Sorry Davis.  I love you just as much as your brother and sister, you just keep me busy! 

Doctor's stats from 15 month check up:

Weight 26lbs 9oz (90th %)
Height 31 1/2 inches (50th %)

Doctor's stats from 18 month check up:

Weight 28lbs 6oz (94th %)
Height 33 inches (70th %)




The basics?

Diapers - Size 5
Clothing - 24 month or 2T
Food - anything and everything
Sleeping - through the night and then some
Teeth - 16 teeth
Words - too many to really list
Favorite toy - anything he's not supposed to have

Well my little guy is 19 months old now.  I can't believe I skipped the 15 and 18 month update posts but we are a busy family these days.  So, here's an update all about Davis.


He's a great sleeper now, especially as we've adjusted to a new routine with both kids in school.  He goes to bed around 8 and typically sleeps until 7 or 8, unless the kids are loud and wake him up before that.  He rarely wakes in the middle of the night, usually only when he's not feeling well.  He had a bad cold a few weeks back that gave us some pretty bad nights.  Otherwise, he's great! 

He typically takes one longer nap, which used to be from 1 to 3 but has now been pushed up to 12 to 2.  He went through a little phase of not wanting to be rocked to sleep but that seems to be over now.  I like to rock him to sleep for nap time, unless he falls asleep in the car on the way home from picking up Bryan from preschool.  Nighttime routine doesn't usually involve rocking him to sleep unless he's extra fussy.

He still eats pretty much anything.  He doesn't usually eat a whole lot at one time but would much rather pick throughout the day.  He eats a pretty solid breakfast, lunch and dinner, just doesn't eat much of it at once.  There isn't much he won't eat these days.  He's stopped getting milk before bed a few months back.  He just didn't take it one night and we haven't really looked back since.  This was a habit I had a heard time breaking with both of the other kids.  He's definitely been my easiest transition baby with everything.

Kid doesn't walk anymore, he runs. But he's still in that cute toddle stage. He also likes to jump and dance.  His favorite song is the gummy bear song.  It's so annoying but it's also so cute to watch him smile and dance when it plays.

He's saying a lot more words now.  His favorite work is cookie!  If someone has fruit snacks, he says nack and follows them around until he gets some!  The pediatrician was surprised but how many words he can say.  He is starting to listen more now.  He will go and get a diaper if I ask him to or throw something in the trash.  I love to watch him learn.  He listens better than his siblings sometimes.

He really likes to throw tantrums.  I can't help but laugh at him sometimes because his tantrums always consist of him throwing his pacifier, giving me a pouty face and then burying his head into the floor.  It's especially funny when he does it in the middle of the grocery store.

Let me tell you about this kid's cuddles and hugs.  It took him a while to really start hugging but now that he does, oh my goodness it's adorable!  Every morning when I get him out of his crib, he just lays his head on my shoulder and cuddles with me for a bit.  It's something I look forward to every morning.  He gives kisses but you really have to work for them sometimes.

He still prefers me over anyone else, unless daddy is home.  He's still not a big fan of other people but he will literally run to any man he sees.  His siblings were so weary of men for the first year and a half of their lives and he's the complete opposite.  He does like Nana's house and we can actually leave him there without him crying now.

19 months old already!  Where does the time go?

Oh my sweet little rainbow,



I'm not sure where I would be without you.  You have been such a joy for the past 19 months.  I have absolutely loved watching you explore and learn these past few months.  You are really becoming your own little person and I love seeing your personality develop.

You are such a little daredevil!  You are always climbing and getting into things you aren't supposed to be getting into.  If mommy didn't laugh at you, she'd go insane!  You really like to take the baby gate down and climb the stairs when I'm not looking. 

You still love your puppies and cuddle with them all of the time.  I think they like it but I think they like when you drop food more.  You're always feeding your food to the dogs.

You have become such a good cuddler.  You're always coming to find me to get a quick hug or sit in my lap.  I soak it up as much as I can.  I'll take all the hugs and kisses I can get.  And when you say 'I love you' it's the cutest thing ever!

Your siblings have been playing with you more and more now.  I love to watch them make you laugh.  And they are so proud to introduce you to people.  'This is my baby brother, baby Davis!'  Sorry buddy, but I think you will always be baby Davis to them.

You have filled our hearts with so much love these past 19 months and we really can't imagine our lives without you my sweet little rainbow.

Happy 19 months baby bear!

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
