Quack, Quack!

I got Carter's Halloween costume today! I couldn't help it, I had to try it on him. :) Plus I was using it for our Q picture, so I had a good reason. :) I purposely bought this one because it still resembles a duck without the hat. I had a feeling he would just rip the hat off his head, and I was right. I did get a few pictures with it on though. Jordan says I should try to get him to wear the hat every day for the next month, and maybe by Halloween he will be used to it. That's too much work for me though, haha.

My prayers must be working. Carter slept 7 hours in a row last night, woke up and ate, and went back down for another 3, woke up, and went back down for another 2! Overall he slept from 7:30-7:45 and woke up twice. That is SOOO exciting for us. :)

Yesterday he also decided he is done with baby food. I have been trying to get him to eat small pieces of real food for a couple months now, and he has wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with it. He acts like i'm posioning him or something. He would either spit it out, or grab it off his tongue with his hand, lol. However yesterday he decided he liked green beans when he was at my mom's. Last night for dinner he ate some cheese, and he loved tomatoes. Today he had peas, green beans, blueberries, cheese, cheerios, and I think that's it. It is SO nice to have him sit and feed himself little pieces of food, I love it. :) Keeps him busy for an extra 20 minutes!

Here are a few duck pictures!

Oh how we missed Grammy

I am SOOOOOOO glad my parents are back from their vacation!!!!! They were gone 2 weeks, and it felt like forever. Carter definitely missed his Grammy. This week has been fun because she has been around alot, (she missed Carter too!) Yesterday afternoon she came over with the cutest little Kenneth Cole outfit for Carter to wear to a wedding we have coming up, its definitely a Grandma outfit, a little too pricey for our budget!!! Anyways, she and Carter played for a while, while I sat and watched what fun they were having. :)

I am so, so lucky that my Mom babysits for me while I work. Carter absolutely loves spending time with her. It's so nice to leave and know that he is in such wonderful hands. He just waves at me when I leave, never gets upset, its awesome. :)

Here are a few pictures from yesterday.

Washing bottles drives me crazy

Seriously, I could NEVER be a full time formula feeding Mom. I absolutely HATE washing bottles. Carter gets 2 bottles during a 24 hour period, and I can't even keep up with those. I end up finding week old bottles, with formula still in them, various places around the house and it smells nasty by the time I get around to washing them. Ugh. The best one I have had to deal with to date is a half full bottle that must have fallen out of the diaper bag, which was in the way back of my car. It sat in the car for probably a good week and a half before I found it. Of course we all know its been a million degrees, so you can imagine how lovely that was to empty. (insert gagging here)

Anyways, that is one of the many reasons i'm pro breastfeeding. :) I guess i'm just lazy, haha.

Every day amazes me!

It is so amazing to me, being able to watch Carter grow, learn, and change every day. Yesterday, he saw me chewing gum, and he started chewing. I don't know why, but I just thought it was so cute. I was rocking him in the rocking chair the other day, patting his back, and he started patting my back. It just amazes me how fast he is learning, it seems like every day its something new. It is so much fun. I am just reminded over and over again at how blessed I am.

My high hopes to get some scrapbooking done this weekend have come crashing down miserably. I got one page done on Friday night, but nothing since then. I came into the office to maybe sit down and scrap, but couldn't get motivated...so here I sit.

Just for fun, here are a few pictures. :) A couple pages I finished this week, and one of my favorite bath time shots. :)
