Age: 5.5 months

Milestones: rolling back to belly, sitting up unassisted for short periods

Challenges: really being there for her right now. Jackson's birthday is tomorrow and it's consuming me.

Funny/Cute stories: nothing that I can think of.

How are you? I've been better. Just really sad. Jackson would have been 10 this year. His birthday is tomorrow and it's all I can think about. I had a friend over Sunday and we had cheesecake and wine to celebrate. I miss him so much.

QOTW: How was your Halloween? Pretty boring. Last year we had a ton of kids and ran out of candy, so this year got a bunch and only had one group of kids stop by all night! Disappointing.

Age: 8m1w/7mo adjusted

Milestones: Full on crawling, it's very unsteady, but he is doing it. He has also been thinking about pulling up. I say thinking because he just sits by couch looking up as if waiting for some magical levitation or something.

Challenges: Mobility. It leads to even more meltdowns because he can't touch all the tings.

Funny/Cute stories: Yesterday, he took a toy with him over by the computer (where he knows he isn't allowed). He would look over to see if I was watching then play with the toy and sneak touches/look for any weaknesses around the computer. The kid is to smart for his own good.

How are you? Tired. My allergies are going crazy. I have been a zombie, worked out great for Halloween, but, I need to breathe, dammit!

QOTW: How was your Halloween? It was good. We went to a friend's neighborhood and walked around with their kids while they ToT. W loved watching everything.

All the hugs @led. Thinking about you and your family.

8.5 months

I don't know if there is much new from last week. Just tons of exploring happening here. He wants to get into *everything.*

Sleep and naps are hit or miss. It's either perfect or awful, no inbetween. He is easily frustrated, but otherwise no real challenges at the moment.

He has been yell-reading his books the past couple days. It is hilarious to watch.

I'm good. I finally stopped spotting from my iud insert (two months), so yay.

Halloween was rather uneventful. We dressed him in a skeleton shirt and handed out candy for an hour while we ate dinner, and then turned off the light and shut the door to put him to bed (it goes 6-8 here). We'll get more into it next year.

Age: 4 months on Thursday! Crazy! Another month that went who knows where…

Milestones: "Talking" so much squealing and noises coming out of her these days. She definitely makes it known when she's happy, mad, wants attention, etc.

Funny/cute stories: I always suck at this…I'm going to need to start writing them down when they happen.

How are you? Tired, busy, run down but this week is crazy for us on the farm. I just need to get through it.

QOTW: It was great! I took DD1 out, and I only intended to hit 4-5 houses with her but she totally "got" it so we stayed out for an hour! It was so much fun
