Chunky Monkey

My little chunky monkey, Carter, went to the doctor today and he weighs an even 10 lbs. He is getting so big! He is also starting to make all those cute little baby noises and is laughing all the time. The doctor has him trying a new medication. Let's hope this might be the one that works. This poor boy has been sick his entire eight weeks of life. We go back to the doctor on Wed. of next week so I will keep everyone updated.

Potty Time

We have made some big improvements on the potty. Grace has actually done number one and number two in her Elmo potty. She only accidentally does it sometimes, but hey I figure we are definitely making improvements in getting potty trained. When she just sits on the potty she gets two M's (M&M) and if she uses it she gets four M's.

Grace hasn't been able to go to school all week long because she is sick so we have been doing whatever it takes around here to keep her entertained. My shoes did the trick for just about an entire afternoon. Who knew mom's shoes could be so fun?


These are some pics of her eating supper with daddy's hat on. She is such a little show out for the camera!!!

Quick Update

A quick update on things at our house... Grace is having an extremely hard time with Carter being here. She has broken some stuff around the house, ate some paper, learned to scream at a pitch so high you think your ears are bleeding, tried to drap Carter out of his playpen by his leg, tried to sit on him in his swing, and tried to flip him out of his swing. This is just a few of the things. I am reading books on how to deal with all this so hopefully I can get things back to normal soon before I have a nervous breakdown. Anyway, she is still doing really well at school and still loves it!!! She has started calling Brad "Superdad" which I think is too funny. I bet when people hear her calling him Superdad they think he beats her or something. He loves it neadless to say. Every night we say our prayers and when we get to the "God bless..." part she starts naming off everybody. Here are some of the new additions to her prayers- pp, poo poo, new shoes, apple juice, and Elmo.


Carter is still sick if you can even believe that. Things have gotten a little bit better so maybe in another two weeks or so he will be better. He is eating like a pig and I think he gets bigger everyday. He has started smiling at me which just melts my heart.
Brad and I have the two very best kids!!!!

Chunky Man

Carter went to the doctor yesterday for another visit for his upper respitory infection that we can't seem to shake. When they weighed him I thought the scales had messed up or something. My little chunky man weighed 9 lbs. 6 oz.! Doctor B said that he thinks we are going to have a pretty big boy on our hands...he'll need it to take up for himself when Grace is beating him up. Anyway, here is my chunky man... Grace is still struggling with having a baby brother, but things will get easier for her soon I hope.
