Hey all,

 I've started blogging again but have jumped ship over to wordpress.  You can find me over here.....

http://blueandtigger.wordpress.com/

Please stop by for a visit and say hello :). 

So the cat's issue seems to be solved. I moved his litter box to the laundry room and that seems to have put his stresses at ease.  Don't ask me why that worked as for all 5 years that we've had both of them, they're litter boxes have been in the same room. Whatever. It worked. That's all that counts.

 We are going on vacation next week and I'm procastinating BIG TIME with packing.  I hate packing!  I pack everything and more so it takes a long time and I always have too many bags to fit in the car and it's a whole disaster. And I always forget important things but remember things that I probably won't even need. 

 I've been bad lately with writing as much as I'd like to but I still do read a lot of blogs daily. Total lurker though as I rarely comment.  I just read that one blogger is expecting again and as I was reading it, I felt really happy and excited for them. Like it was one of my friends that was telling me the great news. Is that weird? 

 Well, a poopy diaper is calling me from the other room so off I go. 

Have a great day everyone. 

I love my cats.  Before we had kids, we talked about our cats like we now do our kids.  They're indoor cats and were great when Cooper was born. Weren't too disturbed by the change. but now that Carter is here, our male cat has decided to wig out about it and started peeing all over the carpet in the basement.  It's HORRIBLE!!!  I took him to the vet to rule out infections etc, and everything is fine.  The vet gave me a prescription for an anti-depressant and told me he was stressed out. Probably about the 2nd baby's arrival so give him these pills and it will help relax him and should fix it.  Funny thing is- there are no anti- depressants for pets. They're human anti d's that they cut up.  So, I hope this works because I can't put up with him peeing all over the carpet (in the playroom, I mgiht add) for much longer.  Any suggestions?????????

 Also, I am going out with hubby tonight so I can wear my new shoes.  I'm excited.  I must go polish my nails now and get my feet looking all nice as their open toed. I'll be sure to take pics.

 Have a fantastic week end all!! 

I just bought the cutest pair of high heels for $11.  Eleven dollars people!!!!!   That's so exciting, I've forgotten how completely exhausted I am from sleep trainging Carter.  We now have to plan a night out so I can wear said shoes as I'm not one to wear heels to the park (yes, I  have seen it before).  And while at the mall, Carter sucked back a bottle as if he'd been doing it all along.  Good. Good.  It took me a month and a half to get Cooper to even put a bottle in his mouth, never mind actually drink from it.

In other good news, sleep training Carter is going good but it is very tiring. All though, getting up with him at night was really tiring too so it's nothing new I suppose just more crying than I'm used to.   AND... we're going on holiday! YEAH!   A nice 3 bedroom cottage with a sandy beach and boat and only 2 hours away. Perfect!  We didn't want to venture too far this year as I'm not brave enough yet to travel far with 2 little ones.  This is away enough for it to feel like a real vacation and close enough that if anything happens, we're only a 2 hour drive away from home.  I'm getting quite excited about it. It's going to be a good time.  We're going with my in-laws and the first weekend up there, my whole family is coming up for the day.

We got out for a date last Friday night.  We went and saw transformers .  AMAZING!!!  Definitly made into my top 5 favorite movies.  It was soo good I felt like I had to call everyone I knew to tell them how awesome it was.  My mom babysat for us and while we were she decided to scrub my bathrooms.  How much better could the evening have been?

Well, this entry has a whole lot of and's in it.  Clearly need to start posting more....  I know, I know, I keep saying that.

My days seem to be slipping by me in the whirlwind that is having 2 boys, enjoying all day with them and being addicted to facebook.  Sorry, yes, I've been neglecting you for another internet interest.  

Seriously though, it seems that almost everyday is ended with me saying "really, where did today to go? I got nothing that I wanted to get done, done.". I'll be doing or thinking about something and say to myself, go blog about that and then before you know it I'm in bed wondering what happened.

Cooper is  becoming more fun by the day. His language and ever budding personality just cracks me up and I love learning how his little mind works.  He's started singing songs, has an absolute obsession with planes and can name the bombers, propeller planes, concord, helicopter, night hawk, black bird, fighter jet and airplane when shown pictures of them.  We went to the library and got some books and that's all he talks about from the minute he wakes up is about his plane books. We look at them over and over with him telling me what each plane is.  If he sees me on the computer, he wants to sit and watch plane videos.  The kid is obsessed.  Good thing hubby is really into planes and can share in his enthusiam and he is so much better at being able to tell Cooper which plane is which. I'm learning but slowly.  it's becoming a weekend habit to go to the airport and watch the planes land.  He gets so excited when he sees them coming but still finds it a bit frightening when they come right above him so he dad has to hold him.  He tells jokes now and immitates me which I think is the funniest thing in the world.  You have no idea how you really sound or act until you're impersonated by a 2 year old.

And my little baby Carter just turned 6 months. He's growing like a weed and is eating such an incredible amount of food it amazes me.  Seriously, where do they put it?  He's a pretty happy baby as long as I'm around.  He's happiest when attached to me in the snuggly. He's getting heavy though so I've been trying to make the stroller a little more appealing but it's not really working.  I can't believe Cooper was this age when I attempted to start weaning.  I'm not sure I'm ready to stop that yet.  We're still a little wobbly on the idea of a third so this might be my last "baby days" so I'm trying to get the most out of them.  He's also sooooo attached, like I mentioned, so I don't know how weaning is going to go.  We'll never know until we try.

My mom is doing really good considering.  We've been going to the cemetary almost every weekend which really helps me.  Cooper runs all over him and sometimes I cry, sometimes I just sit there and other times I talk to him as if he's sitting beside me. Father's day was hard!  He finally has grass and not just a mound of dirt and we've ordered his head stone.  Mom has put a shepperd's pole with some flower pots and I've put his picture in a frame under the flowers.  I think each thing we do to the actual  plot helps us feel like we're still taking care of him in some way.  I miss him so much it physically hurts sometimes. I notice I spend a lot of time thinking of where he is and what he's doing, if anything at all. No one knows what actually happens when you go and I guess that's why I spend so much time wondering. I have started noticing an orb around Cooper in pictures taken of him lately which I've read can be taken as spirits.     It's his birthday this weekend.

What else? What else?  It's a long weekend for us here in Canada and I plan on cleaning out my house of all it's junk and enjoying bbq with family and maybe a trip to the zoo on Monday. We'll see.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I'm off to go catch up on some blog reading as I've been just as bad about that too!
