[lindy04aggie]

This is a bi-weekly check in for the young toddlers (12-24 mo). Please feel free to jump right in and just let me know the birth month and year of your young toddler (then I won't have to update the ages every month)! We would love to have you join us!



Oh and always feel free to include a pic of your LO(s) if you want!

1. Accomplishments/fun stuff?

2. Challenges?

3. How are the adults?


QOTW: What is your favorite vacation you've taken?

[richzep]

Hey ladies!
The twins are 21 months and are at such a fun age!
Time in their crib is the absolute best. I don't know if I've mentioned before but they play together for like half an hour before and after they wake up. They laugh. They reach through their cribs and hold hands. They giggle. I seriously melt.

The hardest part of my days lately is Olivia. She needs me to carry her 24/7. She has always been like this. It's so hard to care for the other 2 and do stuff when I'm constantly having to carry her while standing up. And she's getting heavier too.

Dh and I are good! See qotw.

Qotw: dh won a trip to Turks and Caicos. We just got back a few days ago. It was by far the best vacation I have ever been on. All expenses paid. They coordinated some activities for us (parasailing, massage, etc) but the rest of the time we were on our own laying by the pool, ocean, drinking, eating, being served all day. It was seriously paradise.

1. Accomplishments/fun stuff? We're starting to say more words, which is adorable! I asked DH to let the dog outside during dinner last night and Aiden kept repeating "outside." He learned a new word and he was showing off!

2. Challenges? I'm so ready for a vacation. Momma needs a break. My parents are keeping the kids Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon this weekend so DH and I can go to a Saturday evening wedding. I'm talking... I need an all inclusive kid-free resort kinda vacation. LOL

3. How are the adults? Not too bad, other than really needing a break.

QOTW: What is your favorite vacation you've taken? Ireland. HANDS DOWN. DH wanted to do the coach bus tour. I talked him out of it and we rented a car and drove the entire island in 9 days. He thanked me during the trip for talking him out of the bus. We stopped when we wanted to look at stuff and take pictures... we saw what we wanted and not what was on someone else's itinerary. It was AMAZEBALLS.

Sorry - no pic today... gotta get back to work!

Sorry I've been MIA a couple of check ins. DD is 18 mo

Fun stuff: DD has been "talking" a lot more. It's like she is trying to say sentences of jibberish instead of just words. And she has such a personality!

Challenges: tantrums yo!

GTKY: my favorite trip was probably to Belize (pre kiddo)

TW: pregnancy and loss mentioned

Also: I'm pregnant again. We somehow conceived without treatment again. I'm 9.5 weeks, so we are nearing the loss milestone in 1.5 weeks from our loss in Jan. Just taking it day by day.

Hi, y'all!

CL will be 16 months old this weekend.
She's got a couple of little friends at daycare, and she waves and says "hi" and "bye" to them, and other parents, now. This morning, when I dropped her off, she got a hug from one of the other little girls. It's the cutest thing, and it makes me realize just how fast she is growing up!
Challenges: brushing teeth...we seriously need to work on that. Also, the tantrums continue. They are brief, but potent.
Adults are good. I'm home from work trip to CA. Everyone here survived. DH has the start of a man cold, so I'm sure that will impact the weekend in some way.

QOTW. Ireland. Definitely Ireland. We also rented a car and drove around most of the country, and it was the best! So beautiful, great people, great whiskey 😜. The tourist stuff there is great and all, but the little towns and out of the way spots are just awesome.

[MellyKnu]

Hi! I have a 16 month old! She's doing well except that she continues to not fucking walk on her own. She does everything but. Not looking forward to that conversation at her well child visit next week. She continues to grow her vocabulary on the daily. She's mostly happy and hilarious with some mild to medium tantrums thrown in for good measure.

QOTW: definitely our Costa Rican honeymoon, but our WA trip two summers ago was pretty amazing, too.

[rainbowbridge14]

M is 17 months and change.

She has started doing so much more realistic pretend play. She grabs our diapering supplies from her changing table to diaper her stuffed animals then tries to dress them. She is obsessed with her water table and running throygh the water when we water the plants outside. Makes for a lot of clothes changes but it's cute.

She is in a bad hitting and throwing phase. The fact that she has a strong arm and good aim is great but also problematic. Her hitting is getting better slowly since we are working on it at home and at DC.

Adults are good. This is the month of all the graduations. Going to see my neice graduate from college today.

QOTW: Our honeymoon on Hawaii!

[nikiswimr]

Hi ladies!

1. Fun stuff: she's so goofy with me, we spent 5 minutes cracking ourselves up making fishy kisses. Still quite the talker.

2. She's going through a moment where she wants nothing to do with dada and he's seriously got his feelings hurt about it.

3. Adults are ok-ish. Too much of the ILs lately which puts a lot of strain on our relationship (which I can see but he can't).

QOTW: Maui with E was one of our best trips together so far.

[bluefairy5]

Thanks for the checkin lindy04aggie


WF is approaching 19 months, somehow. I have no idea how. She's such a KID now! When I see pictures of her 5-6 months ago vs. now, I'm just knocked back by the difference. Adding a word or so per week, so still not a super chatterbox, but things seem to be moving in the right direction.

Girlfriend is getting real talented at tantrums, especially when tired. The past two nights I haven't brushed her teeth at bedtime because she was just *done*. Sad times. And she's reaching the stage where she has a constant bruise, scrape, or bump from falling into things head first.

Adults are good, just overworked and not connecting all that much lately. But it'll pass.

QOTW: I took my mom to Paris for 4 days for her 60th (technically 61st because she was going through breast cancer treatments for her 60th). We called it our "Ile de France Garden Tour" because we took day trips to Giverny and Versailles, and spent most of our time in town in one park or garden or another. It was so great.

[westiemom]

1. She is 13 months! She is talking so much more and using more sign language. She figured out how to put balls in the holes of her activity garden.

2. Nothing really. Tantrums are a huge thing but I think they will stay that way.

3. We are good!

QOTW: Jamaica! Hands down. Amazing.
