Rain, Rain, Rain

It's been raining a lot the last few days. Sarah and I have been trying to get together to catch up and decided to walk at the mall this morning before it opened. It actually ended up not being that bad walking there. I think we'll be going back on rainy and really cold days!

I headed over to the Farragut library right after walking for Baby Bookworms. Luckily the good librarian was back to lead the class. It wasn't very full either so we had a really good time. Carter doesn't like sitting in my lap the entire time anymore, but he's still pretty well behaved. He doesn't crawl far away from me yet so it's still easy to keep him from bothering other people. His favorite thing is when I lift him into the air during one of the songs. He was all smiles during class even though he'd only had two 10 minute naps in the car and not a normal morning nap in his crib.

After storytime, we met Brian for lunch. Carter and I have been trying to meet up with Brian about once a week lately. It's nice to get to see him in the middle of the day. We headed home after lunch and played there the rest of the day.


As usual lately, we had some trouble getting Carter to eat dinner. He didn't want his breakfast this morning and it was hard to get him to eat much dinner tonight. What's happened to my good little eater?!? Even with foods that aren't new, Carter blocks me with his hands when I bring a spoon towards his mouth and throws food on his tray to the floor. He's usually pretty good about eating in the middle of the day so maybe he's just not that hungry at other times. I don't want to create any bad habits by forcing food on him if he's not hungry but he's such a little guy still that I don't want to starve him either.


Carter doesn't eat much food that we eat yet. I usually try to put something on his tray during most meals but it often ends up on the floor for Charlotte. Charlotte never used to be interested in most human food but she'll eat just about anything now. I try to beat her to it and pick it up, but she's often faster than me.
