Growing

J is a machine.  He has the army crawl going like it's nobody's business.  He's got two teeth and eating like a champ.  There is so much going on in his development.  It's making me miss the days of endless snuggles and having just a blob on the floor for tummy time.

There are still snuggles.  They are just less and don't last quite as long as he now knows how to push away and wants to get moving.  He's curious about everything and loves the dog like crazy.  I wish Maddux would appreciate it more than he does.

I also miss the guarantee of naps during outings.  He's now at that age where he doesn't nap in the car or while out running errands so getting out of the house right now is a little more difficult.  We want to ensure he gets his naps in and we might have an hour window between eating and nap time where we could go out.  That's not to say we won't interrupt his usual nap times but sometimes with the crankiness that is a result, it's not always worth it.

It's such a great age right now and I am loving every second.

On another non-baby related note, if you use Google Reader for your blog reading, you must have received the message that said it was going away and you will need to move your subscriptions to another reader platform.  I moved over to Bloglovin and it was actually super easy!  It brought all of my saved reading lists from Google Reader over so I didn't have to re-subscribe once there.  There is also Feedly but I haven't used that.  Bloglovin seems great and there is also an app for your phone and tablets.  So, bring A Homemade Kitchen over or subscribe via email with the link on the right.  Happy blog reading!
