Random Tidbits

Carter has started letting out a weird little scream when he sees Charlotte. It seems to be his way of saying hi to her or trying to call her over to him.

Carter is still sleeping on his tummy. We're in a transition period with him right since this is new to him. He's having more trouble going back to sleep when he wakes up to be fed in the middle of the night now. And if we do get him back to sleep (it's taken a couple of hours a few times), he's been waking up only an hour or so after getting to sleep and is ready to be up for the day. He slept through the night to 6 am the first and third day of sleeping on his tummy and has been up earlier to feed the rest of the time. He also woke up soaked Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings - I think sleeping on his tummy causes his diaper to hold less pee. We usually don't change his diaper during the night when I feed him. I did however change it last night before feeding him at 4:30 am and he was dry when he got up around 7 am this morning.

We got through our first tub of Boudreaux's last week. It took about 4 1/2 months to go through this giant tub of diaper cream!


It's finally raining! It's been raining since Friday. The pollen had been so bad - everything was yellow. Now I can finally go outside again without sneezing! Unfortunately though my fourth soccer game of the season has been canceled due to rain (we've only been able to play 3 of the 7 games so far). And Brian wasn't able to go mountain biking Saturday morning because it was too wet.

We put up a ceiling fan in our extra bedroom today (this is the room that will someday be a second kid's bedroom). We put the same fan up that is in Carter's room. We had gone to Lowe's planning on getting a fan for the office but they didn't have the one we wanted in stock so we decided to go ahead and get a fan for the bedroom since we know we'll want one in there someday. Here's a picture of the little guy supervising our work from his Jumperoo that he still hasn't figured out how to jump in!


I think we have picked out a baby carrier to use when we go hiking. It's the Kelty FC 3.0.


REI has it on sale right now for $160 (from $210). We can get a similar deal though in town though with one of our 20% off coupons from the School Coupon Books so we may just do that.

And this weekend I finally saw my pre-pregnancy weight of 127 lbs!!! Now, 10 lb more to go to get off that extra weight I put on the year before I got pregnant. I'm still not shaped how I was before I got pregnant, and probably never will be again, but I'm going to try to get close.
