What's going on now...

Well, it has been a while since I posted. So sorry! Yesterday I went to the breastfeeding group again. When you get there you weigh your baby and then when you leave you weigh again to see how much he ate. When we got there he weighed 8lbs. 15oz and then when we left he was 9lbs 2 oz. Yep, he's a porker. The breastfeeding is going very well-much better now with the nip shield. He is really getting into a schedule with feeding every 2 hrs. His tummy is an alarm clock because almost to the minute he is really to eat. The nights are getting better. I am still sleeping on the couch and he is sleeping in the pack and play. He will sleep a big chunk of time 4-5hrs. then after that it's every2 hrs. The 4o'clock feeding is the worst. He tends to eat and then fall asleep, poop, and then sleep, instead of finishing eating. Then 40 minutes later he wakes up hungry. Oh, well it could be worse. My day consists of feed him, burp him, change him, then he sleeps, and it all starts again.
P.S. I know that a lot of you have called me on my cellphone. Please do not think that I am ignoring you but I am usually in the middle of burping, changing a diaper, or feeding. I have made a list of people who I need to call back. Don't worry when I get a free minute I will call--I promise. Thank you for being so understanding!

OMG, Carter and Brady are on almost exactly the same schedule ... eat, poop, sleep ... every two hours! (Even though Brady is getting formula. It's not always true that they digest it more slowly!).

Isn't it crazy how we end up examining the poo to make sure it's OK??? Ha ha ... two educated women checking out poo ... !!!!

Love you guys!

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...
