Sittin' Tall

Today I had to run to Wal-Mart so I loaded Denver up and we headed that way. When we got there, I told him that I would let him sit in the basket like a big boy, instead of in his carseat. This is what I got in response. I think he was happy about that! He was SO excited to be sitting in the basket. He smiled pretty much the whole time. He loved every minute of it! He even helped me hold some stuff. Being a big boy must be very tiring because he slept the whole way home, and stayed asleep when I took him out of the car and unloaded all of the groceries.

Guess Who's Not So Little Anymore?

About two weeks ago (just a few days before my baby turned 7 months old), we got a little surprise. I think that it freaked her out, way more than it did us. You could tell that she was confused about what was going on and then she was less than thrilled with the way that we decided to handle it.

The shop where Darren works was closed the day that this "started", so Darren was home. He called me and said "I don't think our baby is so little anymore". He came by the office and picked me up for lunch and we ran around to Petsmart to get her some puppy diapers! And you thought buying baby diapers were expensive?? 12 puppy diapers for $15.99. No thank you!

So, we came up with Plan B, and that included a trip to Wal-Mart to purchase off-brand (Parent's Choice) newborn diapers. 56 diapers for $5.46! Now, that works for me. Unfortunately, Coco was less than impressed with our solution:

How cute is that little face??

As you can tell, she is less than thrilled with the whole "diaper thing"!

We were expecting this to last 4-6 weeks, from everything we have been told and everything that we have read but today we start week 3, and I think she is done. We are going err on the side of caution and make her wear the diapers for one or two more days, but then - FREEDOM!
