Wow!! We made it to 3 places today. Only with the help of Hubby's parents. They watched E at home while I took M out. We deposited a check at the bank. The ATMs weren't working so M didn't get to press the buttons like she wanted. And we headed to the library...because where else would all the cool people go? =p There were too many people there, so M wasn't as crazy happy like she normally is. I didn't get a chance to check anything out for myself, so I'll have to finish re-reading one of my books. I'll be glad to take more recommendations. A lot of the ones that people have recommended to me recently are new books and they're not available at the library yet, so I'm still waiting on those. Lastly, we went to Walgreens to pick up a few things. In case, anyone is wondering, they didn't have Pepperidge Farm Baby Goldfish there (at least at the one we go to).

With M, it was semi-easy to just have her down in the crib when she was napping. There wouldn't be anyone else at home, so it was peaceful and quiet. Now that there are 2 in the house, it's almost impossible to have E sleep long periods of time without being awaken by Big Sis. She doesn't mean to do that, but 2-year-olds just love to shout and walk/run/jump/hop/dance really loudly. Holding E would allow her to sleep longer, but my arms can only take that for so long, and I need my hands to do other things sometime.

We got an Infantino sling as a gift when M was born, and used it a few times. I don't really like it that much.


I'm looking to buy a wrap type thing. It would also help with her spitting up all time because I have to have her upright after feedings. Anyone have suggestions?

I'm thinking of going with Hotslings.
 

Others that I've heard of are Mobywrap and Zolowear.
 

Has anyone tried these?

"Don't bother me, I'm sleeping."


She's really into cutting right now.


Bathtime, focused...on the mobile (it was M's favorite too), so content



Going to the potty all by herself.


Ready for storytime.


M is waiting for my sister and her bf to fill the swimming pool they got her. My sister said that's the cutest 3T she found. hehe E, however, is mad she doesn't get a dip in the pool. I'll have to dig up the little swim outfit for her. M had a blast!



Playing with Cousin S.


E loves the activity mat too. M took the 2nd photo.


M wanted to go swimming again, but it was a bit chillier the next day.
