Halloween Fun!

-





This Halloween we had 2 boys to get dressed up and treat with. Carter was a lion which he hated every minute of and Landon was the cutest skunk I have ever seen. Bob and I went to our first costume party. I was Cleopatra and Bob was a hillbilly doctor. We had so much fun! This was also our first year to have treaters come to our house. Thank goodness I bought 200 pieces of candy because we had 3 kids stop by.
Carter has started to enjoy and get better at feeding himself with a spoon. He loves to dip his food into anything and also drive his food like a car. Whatever gets him to eat, I will try! Landon is doing well. He is really smiling and laughing out loud now. He is still nursing and I am having a hard time keeping up with his appetite. I am pumping 4 times at school and I am literally going day by day. Today, however, I went to pump at school and realized that I forgot the suction cup part of the pump on the drying rack at home. Instant panic set in--i was unsure what to do...I thought I could borrow some funnels from my science kit to rig it up but I didn't have time for that. I had to hand express 3 times today. It felt like I was getting many mammograms over and over again. Not fun at all. I only got out 5 ounces total today at school compared to my normal 12. I am chugging water tonight to help make up for it. Hopefully I can hang in there because I am not ready to supplement with formula.
Carter is now talking a little bit. His token saying is "Oh, no!" He will also say: apple, all gone, dada, mama, bubble, and ball. He gets so serious sometimes when he is talking which is too funny. Landon is now able to sit in the Bumbo seat. This is awesome because he looks like a little man in it.

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...
