Jackson James is 18 Months Old - 1.5 Years Old

18 Months and Counting! We survived the 18-month check-up and with only one shot. We were three days too early so we couldn’t get the third shot for Hep A so instead Jackson only had to get the flu shot. Man, I don’t like those things! So now at his 2-year appointment, he’ll have to get a shot. Hanging out in our wall unit Height: 33 inches Weight: 24.1 pounds Head: 50% Diapers: Still in Size 3 but wearing Size 4 at night because...

Things to do with a Toddler in the Winter - 18 months

Winter Activities in Minnesota with a Toddler Last year was the longest winter ever. And I mean ever. Can you blame me for getting nervous for the colder seasons ahead of us (it is 28 degrees out right now on October 22)? You bet I’m preparing for the cold, darker days (all 5-6 months of them) ahead, especially with a VERY active little guy (1.5 years) who LOVES being outside. And I mean LOVES. What to do? Just hanging...

Week in Review - 17.5 Months

  As of today, Jackson is a year and a half. Say what!? BUT, I’m going to post a recap of last week and that means lil man is still 17.5 months in this post. We had a fun week. YAY! I kind of begged Karl to stay home this last weekend just because I want him to have fun too and we miss him. I know he's swamped at work. It gets tough juggling it all. I know this! It's hard being a working parent but it's also hard being a stay...

Probiotics Work Wonders on Toddler's Tummy - 17.5 Months

Tummy issues? Buy Probiotics for your Toddler. If you read my last post, you saw that we had quite the adventure going on at our house the past three weeks. We actually took Jackson in for his chronic diarrhea to get his stool tested. I thought parasites for sure. Then all tests came back negative. Thank God! But how could a toddler poop that much for three weeks? Doctor thinks either teeth or some wild crazy virus. I was in panic...

Week in Review - 17.5 Months

All over the place I just shared with a friend that my brain is all over the place right now, and it’s only Monday. Oh boy. I’ve had back-to-back crazy, insane weeks. There just hasn’t been that moment to collect my thoughts and get some air, regroup. I told my friend it’s almost like I need someone to slap my face or stick my head under water and tell me to snap out of it. I even made it to the gym on Saturday for a hardcore workout thinking...

Week in Review - 17.5 Months

Super fun, but fast week. A LOT going on but we still managed to survive with lots of smiles! That's always a successful week in my mind.  I've started to get the hang of Karl working his longer hours. I know. Just 17 months LATER. WHEW. What a journey this has been. Or maybe I've finally accepted it? Ha. I hope that when we start trying for Baby #2 and then baby arrives, maybe Karl will be able to get home...
