Updates including the State Fair

We've enjoyed the beautiful weather with afternoon trips to the pool. I actually have a bit of a tan (tan for me, which means I'm not completely glow in the dark)



Chloe enjoys playing in her water table on the deck, driveway or yard. On this particular day, she asked why she couldn't swim in it and asked me if I could help her float on her back in it.




Wyatt is still growing, we just moved him into size 3 diapers. Technically he is still within the weight range of size 2's, but the number of complete blowouts is quite ridiculous and he is a the low end of the range for size threes - so I just went for it. So far it has saved me a lot of scrubbing of clothes...so I like it. He's outgrown most of the 3 month clothing he has, can make 3-6 month clothing work, is fitting into mostly 6 month outfits and just today rocked a 6-9 month pair of pants (which were long but still cute).




We went to the stare fair on opening day and had a great time. Chloe did great walking most of the day, being a good listener and no major melt downs. It was Thrifty Thursday, so we were able to let her ride on quite a few rides. She wasn't the biggest fan of the bumper boats until she got out of her boat. I'm a horrible parent because as she sat there spinning, and spinning and spinning in circles by herself, I just couldn't stop laughing. Wyatt did great too, he stayed on schedule with eating and only got a little fussy when he got a little warm at one point. We found shade and it worked out just fine






When we got home after the fair, we though Chloe would crash, but we met our neighbors in the driveway and Chloe played with the three little girls for quite some time. She did sleep like a rock, but I think I needed the sleep more than her!

I am trying to prep a little for work by trying to fed Wyatt formula. I have fed him a bottle for his last feeding in the evening, Which has worked well. On the second night he slept SEVEN hours (of course I didn't go to bed when he did, so I missed that sleeping opportunity!). With seven hours of sleeping, I thought formula was a magic potion! It hasn't worked out like that every night, but he is stretching out his keeping at night, so I'm feeling pretty lucky. Like two nights ago, I got six SOLID hours of sleep... Ahhhh sleep.

We made a trip to Ikea for some boxes for Wyatt's room, under his changing table. Turns out I don't have a picture of that right now, but we also found some really cute lights that look perfect in Chloe's room. They give a white and pink glow at night.


The countdown to my return to work is in the back of my mind. I miss the people, but not the actually working part. It's nice to spend time at home with my family! I guess I better go buy some lottery tickets.
