Lindsay - CRAZY! And YOU'RE next!! AAAHHHH!!! Just think next month you could have a baby!!! (though I'm hoping you'll be one of the 5% that gives birth on your due date, I had a lovely friend in middle school who was a St. Patrick's Day baby)
Dare - He's been pretty clingly too a lot lately, I just give in knowing I'm not going to get much done around the house. I do things when my husband is home. So I'm fairly lazy with everything but James during the day.
Weaning? Ugh. He has not taken to food, and I have not forced it, but my mom keeps pushing me to get him to eat. I'm not trying often enough, not trying the right kinds of foods, not presenting it well, etc. I tried giving him foods in December (pears, carrots, green beans, and I think something else, but I don't remember). I've only tried one serving of rice cereal this month with breast milk and he hated it. The only thing he kinda liked was the pears... Mostly he just spits it out, gets upset, turns his head, cries. We've tried different times of day, different amounts of time from last feed. Got him more food to try yesterday, but husband was too tired to feed him banana (supposedly because they're so much cleanup) so we're going to feed him today, I may just do it before he gets home so the above situation wont happen again. I try to get him involved in feeding James though since he hasn't been able to feed him the last 7 months, which sometimes upsets him (but not often and not much, just gets frustrated when he's hungry and he hasn't taken a bottle since he was like 3 months, refuses it). He'll play with a sippy cup with water, but NOT breast milk. Doesn't really get a lot in his tummy though, but he has fun with it. I figure he'll eat when he's ready. You don't normally see 1 year olds that ONLY eat BM or Formula. James is waking up once a night again, but he's been getting more teeth. Now he has 2 bottom teeth and 3 top teeth with the fourth visible, but not through yet.
Have you tried feeding Ava again since that didn't help her sleep through the night better?
I've been making all of James' baby food in a little blender 
It really doesn't take that much time or energy to steam and blend food. I bought little containers (4oz) and just put a tiny bit in there as he's only playing with a few spoonfuls. 
Otherwise James may have to give her a talking to! Yeah, the "I'm so big" part does start getting hard, especially when you can't sleep as well. I could always sleep, but it started getting more uncomfortable to fall asleep, and napping didn't work as well in the end. Lots of hair? How do they figure that?
