A Whole New Year

Oh my it's 2014. Really, it's almost February, so it's not a brand new year but it sure feels like it sometimes. I have not updated my blog since October! I haven't fallen off the planet, but some days it feels like I'm just barely hanging on by a thread for the bumpy ride.

I still haven't emerged from sleep deprivation. I thought my daughter was tough to sleep train, well my little guy is proving to be even more of a challenge. We've been at it in some form of another since September. Every time we get a hint of things starting to (maybe) improve he gets really sick, another tooth or major developmental milestone it seems, and we are right back to square one. I've been working with an occupational therapist around it for the last 6 weeks or so. She figures there are some mild sensory issues at play so we're addressing those as well during the day and hoping he outgrows this stage very soon before I pull out all of my hair strand by strand. It seems a bit all consuming when things get really bad and all I can think of is the next nap or sleep opportunity. Of course, I have another child that needs attention too.

Where else are we at? Miss A turned 2 a couple of weeks ago. She also toilet trained really quickly following that. It's so nice to have just one in diapers. Mr. K is now almost 9 months and on the brink of walking. He's been crawling for a couple of months and is furniture cruising and standing briefly without holding on. Essentially I chase two toddlers all day long now.

Well it seems my time is up. Hopefully it won't be months before I can post again.
