23 months | 30 weeks

Jade is on her last month before turning 2! She is strong willed, smart, and so much fun right now! She learns a lot from Damon. She knows her ABC's, numbers 1-10, and more words than I can think of. Of course at this stage mom and dad are the ones who understand the majority of what she says, but she knows all about everything she's saying. She loves to eat but is starting to pick and choose some things that she does/doesn't like. Not quite as extreme as Damon yet, but she is realizing she has an opinion on things and will not hesitate to express it. Some of her favorite things right now are gogurt, oranges, applesauce, moms water (NOT hers for some reason), climbing the stairs on her own, playing hide and seek, and much more. She is usually not sleeping through the night. She mostly just wakes once and comes into our room. Because I don't want to fight it, I end up finishing the nights rest in her room. Thankfully she has a nice full size mattress in her room so it's doable for now. Damon also sneaks into our room most of the time. Not sure how it's going to work out with baby #3. Hopefully this one just knows how to sleep. Otherwise I have to sleep train or I will go crazy.










Speaking of baby #3, we are doing well and I'm getting bigger and more tired as the days go on. He loves to do summer-salts in my belly.  A lot of the time I can feel him all the way down by my pubic bone as well as in my ribs at the same time so I think he's going to be tall. That or flexible. Probably  both. Damon loves laying on my belly so that he can feel the baby moving. He has been making comments here and there asking about the baby more-so this time. He will find some of his old shoes that no longer fit him and bring them to me and say he is going to save them for the baby. It's a good thing because I was going to if he wasn't. He also loves to feel my belly if he happens to see me before the shower. He is always surprised about how big my belly is and often starts laughing kind of excitedly whenever my belly happens to peep out of the bottom of my shirt. I know, hillbilly status over here. It's getting big. I am on the every 2 week checkups but they are fairly pointless at the moment aside from checking vitals, measuring my belly, and listening for babies heart rate.
