Who's Hobby?

I decided I need to learn some things to occupy my time. I decided to try my hand at knitting! The girls at work are teaching me how to do it in between calls... its not going the greatest but I am hanging in there! I decided to work on my blanket some more today and couldn't figure out why I kept loosing my slack... one peak under my recliner and I found out why....

Then he decided to try stealing it...

Who's hobby is this anyway? Alec's or mine? He is too cute!!

Exciting day in my Mommy world

I would like to take a moment to introduce you to my miserable two year old. He has been miserable in this car seat since he was nine months old. I hate this thing. Very little padding and no support for little man to take a nap. Our kids are frequent travelers. They go to Chris's parent's house which is a 3.5 hour drive almost once a month, they go to the lake which is 1.5 hours away almost every weekend in the summer, and a lot of trips to my parent's house (my mom does my daycare) which is an hour drive. Its no wonder why Carsyn is always crabby in the car. So! Alec has pretty much outgrown his infant car seat (pause for a tear) which, I also didn't care much for so it was time to upgrade him.

I figured I may as well get them matching ones!! Comfort was KEY in my search. I scoured over online reviews and decided today was the day. I was so excited I literally could not sleep last night. I took Carsyn to Target to look at a couple to see them in person and went home to check for cheapest prices online (plus my G6 won't fit two giant car seat boxes). Well here she is.... The Graco My Ride 65!! I found it at Walmart.com for $126/free shipping. I paid for two of them the same price I was willing to pay for one. I put several on the ground and Carsyn kept going back to this one. Its soft and huge. Some may call that a drawback but their comfort is more important then extra space back there. They are slightly bucketed so they don't sit at a 90 degree angle when forward facing, but not too bucketed where they seem 'stuck'... SCORE! And TWO cup holders.

Success!

I don't want it to be over

Alec turned six months old yesterday! Oh my gosh time has flown by. I am so sad my baby is growing up!! I mean, its a good thing... but I am going to miss having my own baby. We got the boy's pictures taken today (and Monday... things didn't go well the first try). We were not able to get any of the two together because Carsyn was Mr. Meltdown. Oh well!! Alec has been cruising all over the house by rolling everywhere. Its hilarious. I wonder if he will crawl ever, he seems to enjoy rolling too much! Here he is loving his peas....

 ok, we got lucky with the pic... he hates peas!
