Last full day in hospital

-



We have been staying caught up on the comments and want to thank everyone for their responses. You are all too good to us.
Today has been another interesting day! We had a baby bathing class this morning and we quickly found out that he does not like baths. We went through 15 minutes of instructions and as soon as we were ready to clean him up the Dr. peeked her head in and asked if I could come talk to her before she left. Therefore Bob had to wash and change Carter's clothes for the first time all by himself. All of the other dads in class thought this was hilarious. Bob's face was priceless when I told him I had to step out right then.
As you can see in the pictures above Bob's sister, Katie, came in last night as soon as she could to meet her new nephew. We have a few others that will be stopping through today to meet him as well. As of now the plan is to head out of the hospital tomorrow some time, but we will see.

Bob is getting a crash course on fatherhood at the hospital. First the pee and now the bath. Way to go Bob! You'll get over all those new dad jitters quickly! I love the pictures! Aunt Katie B - in the house!

Bob is this baby allergic to you? Everytime you put Carter on camera he sneezes?

Matt, this is Bob. I was wondering the same thing. He has only sneezed a few times in a couple days though.

OMG you guys! Brian and I couldn't be happier that your little man is finally here! And Carter is absolutely gorgeous!!!! Wow. I know it was a rough week for you all, but it's all worth it. (BTW, sneezing is good. Lyla did that constantly for a long time when she was a newborn.) I can't wait to get these kiddos together for a play date : ) Let us know when you're ready for visitors or if you need anything!

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
