Strolling

Well, I purchased our 4th stroller yesterday...a double stroller! The weather is so nice here today, sunny and 70 degrees, so we took it for a spin. It was a great workout for me. I was pushing close to 40 pounds!

Update

So, what happens when you have 2 babies 15 months apart..... your body gets really out of whack and you have to go to physical therapy! My back and abdominal area has been hurting since Carson was born. Somedays it was so bad that I could barely pick up Claire. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon last week. I had an xray done and everything looked good. He thought it was my SI joints that were bothering me, so he refered me to PT. So, now I'm going to PT twice a week. She saw me the other day and said that my pubic bone was separated, my pelvis was tilted and my sacrum was rotated! Man, my body is all messed up! But I'm feeling much better after 2 days of therapy. No more babies for me!

My Little Man

Carson looked so cute for church on Sunday. He's so cute in his kahki pants and button down. What a handsome little fellow!

Bathtime

Carson loves his bath. I captured some cute pics of him. He's such a big boy. And I love that he has curls. I just hope they will stay.

Claire 17 months

Claire is doing so many things these days. She is eating with a fork and spoon really well. It does get all over her face, but she is getting most of it in her mouth. She is getting 3 more teeth so she now has 11, which makes eating table food much easier. She loves to play outside, loves her baby dolls and is great at throwing and catching a ball. She also loves Sonic grilled cheese and my cherry limeaid. The other day I found her in her room playing in her dresser. She had taken all of her diapers out and climbed in and sat down. Her new word is truck. If you ask her what noise a truck makes she says, "Vroom, vroom!" Too cute!

A Day at the Park

This week my sister Lynda has been her visiting while Josh has been out of town. We have had a lot of fun. She has been a big help with Claire and Carson, which has really helped me out a lot. I don't think I could have made it all by myself this week. The weather has been so nice this week...sunny and in the 70's. We took Claire and Carson to the park on Monday and had so much fun.




My Gym

Last week I enrolled Claire in a class at My Gym. It's a kid fitness program that she goes to twice a week. She loves it and so do I. The parents participate with the kids for most of the class and then they have time at the end to interact with the other children without the parents. They have everything from slides, swings, trampolines, pool of balls and more. It's a great program and she is really enjoying it. It's so cute to see the excitement in her eyes when she is there playing with the other children and all the toys.



Carson 7 weeks

Carson is doing great. Growing so fast. He weighed almost 11 pounds last week...the boy loves to eat. He is smiling so much and is cooing. He's such a sweet boy! What a joy he is to have in our lives!

Carson 1 month old

The past month has gone by so quickly, especially with the holidays. Mom and dad left last week and Josh had last week off, but today is my first day to have both children by myself! So far, things are going well. Claire has been so good and Carson is an angel as always. Claire is a big helper these days and is busy with all her new toys. I took Carson to the doctor today for his one month checkup and he is quite healthy. He weighs 10 pounds and is 22 inches. He's a growing boy and doing great!
