Its been a long week.
Well this week has been not so good. Carter is crabby as could be and running a low grade fever again. I thought we would have more time between his bottom teeth and his top teeth. Nope it looks like the top teeth are coming any day now. I hope they come soon because I just don't know if I can handle this crabby baby anymore and I really cant get anything done at all.
Just an update on Carter's sleep situation. I am proud to say that Carter has started out in his crib now every night for almost a month. He too has almost all of his naps in his crib. This leaves so much more room in the bed at night and help me at least get some sleep.
Well maybe Carter will do something exciting today that I can post about later.
Oh ya Carter wants to tell his aunt Becky HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Mom I Am
Mom I Am
Would you nurse her in the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?
I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse with or without a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.
Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her ..till she’s full!
Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy’s milk is the best start!
Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have the perfect explanation.
Mommy’s milk is tailor made
It’s the perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast’s the perfect food!
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk’s the perfect food!
We make the amount we need
The perfect temp for every feed.
There’s no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.
Those sweet nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy’s milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can’t be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.
It’s not about what’s good for you,
It’s best for babies, through and through.
I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads and ma’am.
I will nurse her, Mom I am

A halloweenish weekend.
Well we had a great weekend, but I am glad its over. Carter gets so off his schedule during the weekends it makes everything out of whack.
Friday night was really low key we stayed home and Carter went to bed early at 8:30. Mommy and Daddy stayed up and watched some really weird movie. It was great though because Carter slept through the night. He must have known we stayed up late. Carter slept in his own crib from 8:30pm to 9:30 at I just couldn't believe it. Jim woke up and Carter was just in his crib playing! It was amazing!
Saturday started out by raking leaves, we have like a million and one huge trees in our small 1/3 acre lot so we have tons and tons of leaves to rake. We spent all after noon raking while Carter played with his toys out side. At 6 we went with Jake and P to P's familys holiday party Carter was a good little boy and dressed up in his cow costume. I got the cutest little monkey costume for him but the damn thing is to small. So we went with the cow costume. Oh well. Croix was the cutest little dalmation ever. Carter was great while we were at the party. After the party we went to Jake and P's house. The boys went to the bar, while, P, I, a lady named Tara (I think) and Aunt Lina stayed back with the babies. Tara had a baby the same age as baby Croix but he looked so much bigger. And then there is Carter who compared to the 2 month old looks like a 3 year old. The boys decided to stay out way to late and came back around 2 am. Thankfully daddy only had 3 beers so he wasn't drunk. If he would have been mommy would have been mad!
Sunday Carter and mommy went to pug o ween, which is the pugs halloween party. Carter had a blast looking at all the dressed up pugs. We only took Buck because Gabby is in heat and has an ulcer on her eye and she can't stay home all by her self so Jill had to stay home with Gabby. But Buck went with and as usual he stuck right by my side. He likes being out and about but he would perfer not to be with all those pugs, Buck is just a big baby!
After pug o ween mommy and Carter came home and took a nap. Daddy is feeding Carter dinner right now and after he is done eating its of to bed for all of us.
I am getting really excited for halloween. I can't wait to see all the kids in there cute costumes. I can't wait until Carter is old enough to take trick or treating!

6 months 3 weeks and 3 days
Thats how old Carter is. Not only is that how old Carter is that is how long I have been breastfeeding. I love it I have proved so many people wrong. I proved that I can do it. With so many troubles in the begging I am so proud to say that I have made it through the troubles when most women just give up. I think the average time people give up by is 6 weeks. I just can't understand that I mean that's when things just start getting easy. Breastfeeding has been a joy and I love it. I love that time with my son. Sure some times it would just be easier to prop a bottle in his mouth but I love that I can't do it. What I love most is when people see Carter and realize that he is a big healthy baby I know breastfeeding had a huge part in him being a huge happy healthy baby. I was at the store one day when a lady walked by and asked about Carter I then told her his age and said that he was really big for his age, she then said with out even knowing that he must be breast fed because he is so healthy looking. It was a huge complement. Breastfeeding in public is hard you get crazy looks. I just don't get it its natural I mean this is why we women have breast to feed our babies. I guess some people just don't see it as that. I just wanted to say how proud of my self that I am for making it to almost 7 months. Its crazy it seems like a year is just around the corner. Will I stop at a year only time can tell but I don't plan on it I only plan on stopping when Carter is ready to stop and I for now he is no way shape or form ready to stop and neither am I. The American Academy of Pediatrics recomends breastfeeding for the first 2 years and I plan on following there recommendations. If any of you reading this want more information of breastfeeding check out http://forum.kellymom.net/
In other news Carter has growen out of his infant seat so we went out and made the big purchase today. He got his big boy car seat. We havn't tried it out yet but we do plan on taking a drive tomorrow to try it out I am very excited. He will still be refacing as I plan to have him refacing as long as I possibly can. Probably until about 2 years old. Anyways after a ton of research he go the Evenflo Triumph Advance LX Convertible Car Seat. Its cute and really safe! I shall let you all know how our test run goes on it tomorrow.

Pumpkin Pickin'
Well Carter had his 1st pumpkin pickin experience yesterday. I must say he had a blast, and all the fresh air must have tired him out as he went to bed early and not only that he wasn't even in his own crib.
Daddy trying to find Carter the perfect pumpkin.
Jake, P, Croix and another friend Steve (not pictured) came with us for the days outing.
Carter had fun in the sea of pumpkins.
Croix slept through all the fun.
We then went and saw the animala. Carter liked this little white horse. We fed it some.
Uncle Jake even fed it!
Ok I found the perfect pumpkin I am all ready to go carve it.
Its the prefect size just for me! I loved being in the pumpkin Croix didn't like it so much he thought it was too cold. That's ok though his mommy got lots of cute crying Croix in the pumpkin pictures. Crying pictures are cute too!
We all carved our pumpkins at Jake and P's house last night. Mommy did the big pumpkin and daddy did the little one.
Don't mess with my pumpkins!
I am so done now I need a nap.

Momma's no good week!
Well I haven't posted in awhile because really I haven't had time. I started babysitting this week and got the most terrible baby in the world. Ok so maybe not in the world but atleast in the country. She was here 11 hours out of the day and she screamed for 10 hours and 50 mins of that. I couldn't take it after 2 days I told the father that it just wasn't going to work out. I can not neglect my child because this little girl needs all of my attention. I also have another little girl here who is only here for this week but she is just a doll and she is so good too. Her name is Olive, I would post a picture of her because she is super but I don't think mom and dad would be happy with me posting a picture of her online. So just take my word for it she is super cute.
In other news Carter cut his second tooth. We can't see it yet but I can just barley feel it. The 2nd tooth was much easier on all of us then the 1st. Though Carter's sleeping has been terrible but hopefully now that the second tooth has popped he will be better.
Well it looks like we will be refinishing our floors this weekend. So that means we are going to be staying at grandma and grandpa's house for a week. This should be interesting. Jim and I talked and one or two of those days Carter and I are going to spend the day with his mom, seening that she doesn't get to see him as much as my mom does.
In other news we have all new windows in the house it rocks, its so nice to be done with it. Well we really arn't done with that project but the windows are in. Next step is trim on the out side of the house. Its one project after another. I am kind of excited for winter to come because it will be like a break from working on the house.
