So much to write! It's been so long! But I don't really feel like it. Sorry. I am now a bad blogger.
Things are good. Semester is ending. I've actually had time to sit on my couch and read! So nice!
Sam updates: He's big. He's 17 months old. He's silly. Sam's favorite things: balls, butterflies, ladybugs, dogs, cookies, and the Who. His favorite foods are mandarin oranges and sugary things. He's a good eater though, will happily eat carrots, asparagus, broccoli, and peas. He isn't yet talking, but will say "baba" to get us to put on the scene from the Who documentary where they cover "Barbara Ann". He does say "bye" of course. But he signs a lot. He signs: Sleep, water, orange, apple, cheese, cookie, ball, play, shoes, dog, book...I think there are many more I'm not thinking of. He is a happy guy. We are getting back to a good sleep schedule. He seems to pretty much have moved to one long nap a day (2-3 hours) but it varies. AND we are weaned! Or weaning anyway! Sleep at night is much better. He starts in his crib for a few hours. Then wakes because it was a normal feeding time. Sometimes he has a snack, usually we just cuddle him and he's back to sleep. The first or second night we cut out breastfeeding he slept for like six hours straight! Which is incredible for us. So it's going ok. He still asks sometimes, but it has only been like four days so it's not like he's forgotten about it yet. All in all, good news!
So things are fun in toddler land. Next semester I will get to spend much more time with the kiddo and I feel great about that.
Well as he naps I'm going to do some more reading. I'll try to post more frequently, but no promises.

congrats on getting some much needed and deserved sleep! He sure is a beautiful boy. And I hope you are not at all sweating the talking. Sufyan just began talking and he's nearly 23 months. Just individual, like all of us.
I wish we lived closer so we could get these cousins together!
