Corwin got new shoes on Tuesday. He was measured at a size 8 (his previous pair were 7.5), so I had to buy him 8.5s in order for him to have some growing room. Unfortunately, 8 is the cutoff for toddler shoes, which meant Corwin has to move into the bigger boy shoes already...and he's not even 2 yet. Wah! Unfortunately, the big boy shoes are a ( Read more... )

In non-potty news, I am pleased to report that Corwin can take his shoes off by himself now, and is expressing interest in trying to put his own pants on, though he hasn't quite figured out how to do it yet. He is very good about standing up and holding onto something while we pull his pants down and then lifting each foot in turn so we can pull ( Read more... )

So I haven't really posted in a while. Sorry about that. I have pictures from my trip to Austin with Corwin a week or so ago, but I haven't done any editing or such on them yet so they aren't ready to be posted. It was a good trip, though -- I got to see all three of my girlfriends that I wanted to see while I was there, Corwin got to go to ( Read more... )

I have been meaning to post a Corwin update for several days now, but it keeps getting put off in favor of Christmas prep of one sort or another.

( He is crawling fairly regularly now. And standing. And making attempts at walking. )

I wonder if our crappy time last night was due to Corwin working on a milestone ( Read more... )

Today Corwin is 5 months old!

It has been an odd and eventful week. We had a visit from his grandma (my mom) and Aunt Becca (beckyboo83) this week -- they arrived on Tuesday and went back home today. Corwin has finally started sleeping through the night -- he's slept between 8 and 10 hours straight for the last three nights (starting Monday night). Last ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Andrew and I went baby-stuff shopping. We picked up baby-proofing supplies from Babies R Us, and our big purchase was a MacLaren Volo umbrella stroller. The umbrella stroller we used at the beach house had handles that were just a tad lower than either Andrew or I liked (we both felt like we had to hunch over just a little to reach ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention in last night's post that Corwin has finally decided that rolling over from tummy to back is a "good thing." He did it multiple times for his dad (finally!) yesterday morning in our hotel room, and today we haven't been able to get him to stay on his tummy for more than a minute or so, if that. I'm hoping it's just a new and ( Read more... )
