10 days and counting!

-

We are finally settled in and unloaded into our new house. We had some friends over this past weekend to celebrate and break in the house. It was great fun with great friends. The summer is the perfect time to hang out with friends! Thanks to all who came! So the date of July 23rd is set for the arrival of the new little guy. My doctor moved it from the 20th to the 23rd because she only wanted me to go 7 days early. I will go in that morning and have the baby late afternoon. I had asked her for details regarding time (cuz if you know me I want to have a plan set) she was unsure but promised me that she would let me know at the next appointment-which is tomorrow. Carter has been fussy and the pediatrician has mentioned that he can sense a change and that this could occur. I am not sure how much of that I believe but he is also pushing through 6 teeth, 2 of which are molars. Each night Bob and I try to talk about what we need to do before the baby arrives. Our list is long-pack a bag, get pack n play ready, put swing together, get pacifiers, find a name. We have to get on that. This is the last official weekend before we have 2 kids--I know mind boggling isn't it! We are headed to Columbus to take Carter to the zoo and then to my sister's deck party at their new house. I hope my water doesn't break at the zoo or Jack Hanna might have to deliver the new little guy!

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 ...

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...
