Little guys development is improving everyday. He is at this age where he is testing his boundaries and does not understand when we are trying to reason with him which drives hubs and I crazy since he will do things he is not suppose to like pull the blinds (he broke one of my blinds already which cost about $45 per piece!), or open the drawers and pulling stuff out, pulling hubs glasses etc.. I tried giving him time out but sometimes he just thinks that is a game!

Loves to walk...especially walk by himself without holding anyone's hands. He can run very quick too! Every time when we go shopping hubs will watch him and just get worn out chasing after him! Last week I took him to the mall he was trying to run everywhere! I was trying to hold him and push the stroller! @_@ we really need to get a harness for him real soon! Hubs didn't like the ones that we saw in the store. He wants to get the one to put on his hands but I don't want. I want those that is actually on his body. Still debating and we really need to make a decision real soon or else it can be very difficult to chase him and he don't like to hold our hands. When we let him walk freely in the store u can she the smile he has on his face! Happy as a pig in a sty!! Lol

The past 3.5 weeks we finally decided that hubs should sleep with him in another bed so he don't "snack" on me all night long causing him and I to have lack of asleep. It was pretty difficult at first then he finally got it down to nurse, dad reads story books, turn off the lights and bed time. I had to put him to bed at night last week twice and the first time was really difficult as he wanted to nurse to sleep. Second night he knew and didn't ask to nurse. He is still nursing to nap and I've been trying to break this habit and doing the going to bed routine but it has not been working. I really don't mind him nursing nap time but I just don't want to spoil the night routine. Morning at about 5-6 am he would wake up and cry and I will carry him in my bed nurse him and hopefully he will snooze for another hour or some. This week we have not been lucky at all! He has been getting up at 6am and refusing to go back to sleep! The last two night he has been waking up at almost midnight and waking up him the morning between 4-6 am (usually at the early time). I do not believe in having him cry himself to sleep cause No ONE should need to cry themselves to sleep so hubs and I decided that if he cries to hard I will get him and he has been crying very hard for me so have been nursing him until he's drowsy and putting him down. However in the morning I still take him to bed with me and nurse him. Today he got up at 3:50 am and was screaming for me! He also got up at 6am!! FML.. If he's crying like this no one can sleep anyway so might as well I get him instead of sleepless morning for the whole family.
