How do you measure, measure a.....month!!!

Wow, I was reading our last blog and realized how much has happened since then. Really it's only been a month, but WOW, how things change. Since last month SJ has learned that he doesn't like to be told "no" he's figured out how to pull up, and crawl. He's eating more solid foods, fruit pieces, puffs, cheerios, green beans etc. He's also got 8 teeth and now it looks like his "fangs" are coming in...they look like they might be coming in up high, like mine were as a child, and he's been really fussy, so I guess we'll see!!! He's a mad man sometimes, and just goes goes goes!! It's a lot of fun, but I've had to clear off everything in his reach. I was hoping to be able to tell him no, HA....right!!! He IS learning no, but he doesn't like it and he tests us every time.
Other news is that I'm pregnant again. 16 weeks today! I'm due January 11th, but hoping for an early baby to get that tax break again!!! Gotta take what we can get right!!! Also, Seth's family is planning a trip to MD right after Christmas since his brother and his family are coming to the states and I won't be able to fly, and there's no way I'm gonna let Seth leave me when I only have 2 weeks til my due date!!! But how exciting if they could meet the new little one then! Really though, we're happy as long as the baby is healthy.
So things are changing, not only does it look like we're cleaning out because of SJ getting into everything, but now we have to clear out the spare bedroom, and start thinking about another nursery! We're out of bedrooms after this one, so we have to figure out how to not get pregnant again right away ;)
It IS hard to get in the baby mindset again, but the more I think about it and it all sinks in, the more excited I get. I really can't wait to have another little one, and I really don't mind being pregnant, I can't wait to feel all the little movements again, and as long as it goes as well as last time, I'll be good to go! And I'd say so far so good!! I didn't even know I was preggo til I was 11 1/2 weeks along! Things will be tough, tougher than the first go round with chasing SJ and taking care of an infant, but then I think at how quickly time went by with SJ...I mean he's already doing so much and it hasn't even been a year! So...How do you measure a year? For the last 2 years we've been measuring by smiles, tears, pregancies, babies, and everything that goes along with it...
