Carter's First Babble!

-






On October 28th Carter said da da. This was so cool. He kept saying it over and over and his tongue was just flapping around in his mouth. Since then he has hardly said it again but don't worry we are practicing it everyday. I had mentioned before that he was more vocal. His new thing is to make a strong tarzan yell. It's not screeching just a belly yell. He does it a lot in the carseat on our way to the sitters. With the weather being so unseasonably warm we had him out in the leaves. This was funny to watch him play in the leaves but he really just wanted to put them in his mouth. This past weekend he has been fighting a cold. Poor little guy has had a hard time breathing through his nose. We have an automatic snot sucker. This machine is a little thing that you put up the nostril and it sucks out the snot. He hates this thing. I have tried to sneak up with it but he still knows. The makers of this tool have also added music to the snot sucker so I play the music when I am getting ready to go in but he seems to know the music. Carter and I spent the weekend on the couch trying to sleep and Bob was under the weather also. We all have the sniffles but hopefully it will pass. Last week on the news, I saw that they were giving the flu and H1N1 shot at the Elyria Mall. After school I headed over and when I got there they said the flu shot was out in one hour so I would have to get the H1N1. So that is what I got. Carter is now sitting up on his own and really trying hard to stay up. Since he is doing so well with this we are breaking out his new toys. We have a doctor's appointment on Thursday where he will get his next immunizations and discuss introducing solids. That is something I am so excited about! Check back soon!

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...
