I have been a really bad blogger - but I want to let my readers (if there is any left) know what has been going on with me.
First off I love being a mom - it is the best thing ever - Colin is always learning - he took two steps two days after his first birthday and there has been no stopping him since there - he now knows how to climb up and down stairs and get up and off the couch. He loves Special Agent Oso and hates the park. He is saying a couple of words now and is so nosy like his mother.
We found out about a month ago that he has a soy allergy - which was really scary and has been really hard because soy is in EVERYTHING. We have to keep an epi pen with us at all time. Since I am not the greatest cook I make alot of stuff that comes in a box or a bag - which is out now - we have just been feeding him alot of whole foods. We go back in 6 months to see if he has outgrown it.
Sleep training went horrible and he is now sleeping in our bed every night (don't judge - it is what works for us) He starts off in his crib every single night - but at some point during the night he ends up in our bed and we like it that way - we all get a good night sleep - there is no tears or stress. I work part time now and we need our sleep. I am actually going back to work full time in May - which has me a bit upset - but we have to do what we have to do - but I am sure going to miss my afternoons with my bug.
John and I are doing really well. His business not so much - we are trying to get it off the ground but with two winters of no snow it has been kinda hard. We have two embies left and John really wants to try for another baby - but I am just so content with Colin. For now we have paid for another year of keeping them frozen until we come to a decision.
I have put on some weight since having Colin - I am the heaviest I have ever been - I guess I am in mommy mode - where I put myself on the back burner but I am in a wedding in May so I have to try and start to get modivated to get back into shape. I have to say since I am honestly so happy - I guess I am content and when you are content (for me) I gain weight.
If there is anyone still out there comment and let me know how you are doing.

Happy birthday, Colin!
We are still here, checking in.
Glad to see everyone is doing well.
Happy birthday little man! And on bed sharing - good for you! If it works and you're happy and he's happy, then it's the right decision. I would have coslept with my LO if any of us could sleep that way but we can't :( He won't be little for long - soak in those snuggles! :)
