11 weeks and Counting




I can't believe he's almost 3 months old! Where did the time go? He's 12 lb 4 oz this week and boy my wrists sure know it....seems i have a case of the "mommy-tendinitis". My wrists are so sore in the mornings that I have a hard time picking him up. I'm going to have to stop carrying him around in his car seat and start using the sling or the stroller more when we go into stores.

Not much very new this week other than we went to Nanaimo last Tuesday. Tyler had a consultation with a specialist dentist and it was really nice to get out of Courtenay for the day. We bought him a soft toy that sort of looks like a dashboard and steering wheel that flashes colorful lights and plays music and sits on his lap...the best thing is that it has a remote that I can press in the front seat to turn it on. Emmett hates the car seat and usually is screaming at the top of his lungs in the car until he tires out (which could be a while) or I sit in the back in an effort to calm him... so we are hoping that the singing flashing toy would distract him a bit and it does...some of the time. I would love to find a mobile that is meant to hang over his change table. Now that he's getting so squirmy, it would be nice to have something for him to just look at while I change him.... let me know if anyone finds something like this.

Next week is Halloween and there will be a little Halloween party at the Moms group i go to so there will be lots of pics of Emmett dressed up in the super cute Halloween costume his Auntie Corey sent from Vancouver.
