So I haven't really blogged much because I haven't really had much to tell. Usually I'll have ideas for blogs kind of percolating in the back of my head, but lately. . . nothing. And then I was thinking hey, I got it. Nothing super exciting, but I'll tell you what, for me, this was BIG. Ian started sleeping through the night!!! I almost can't wrap my mind around it, no more waking up at 3 am to stumble through the house to his room. I can actually get 8 hours straight? I still don't believe it! And the bonus is that he did it on his own, I didn't have to train him (I really wasn't looking forward to that part.) Every once in a while he still will wake up in the middle of the night, but for the most part . . . hurray! Especially because when he is awake he is SUPER busy. That child can crawl so fast, I can't tell you that crazy places I have found him. And he gets into everything. I have to vacuum everyday because everything he finds goes into his mouth! I know that this is all normal, but you see, Clara was not like this. So this craziness is somewhat new to me.
Also I have been adding to my homemade baby food repertoire. I do keep some jars on hand in the pantry for emergencies. You just never know. Ian loves it. And I actually think it tastes really good, too. I've been making it and then freezing what I can in ice cube trays. It helps cut back on cooking time. So far so good. He sure eats a wider variety of foods than I gave Clara at his age. I actually feel really guilty that I didn't know better for her. Oh well.
Several months ago I mentioned some problems we were having with Clara's dance class. I wanted to let everyone know that all's well in our dance class universe, and has been for a while. Thank Goodness! I still encounter the infamous meltdowns, just not there.
Hope all is well with everyone out there! Happy Tuesday!

Clara was a little angel. It makes me feel better to know that your boy is a little more of a handful ( I always felt like i was the one with the wild baby when we would hang out) :)
Oooh, lucky you getting to sleep. After my first, I didn't realize what a zombie I had become until Laurel started sleeping through the night and then I realized that I hadn't become mommy-stupid - just sleep deprived!
I was just talking to Tim about that. Bree has eaten way more different foods at this age than Robby did. I have to vacuum a lot more often as well. Oh the joys:) Hooray for Ian sleeping through the night. Someday we will get there. It gets better every week.
