Bye Bye Bottles and Big Boy Car Seats

Oh how I wish every weekend was a three day weekend!
We had such a relaxing, yet productive long weekend.

The boys have 2 accomplishments from the weekend to share:
  1. For the second weekend in a row, the boys drank their milk out of a sippy cup.  They are doing so well that I packed up half the bottles on Monday!  They still get a bottle at bedtime, but planning on weaning them off that next weekend.  I can't tell you how happy I will be to put all the bottles away! 
  2. The boys had their very first car ride facing forward Tuesday morning! We swapped out the carrier car seats for the big boy car seats.   I don't think they realized it on the morning commute, but when we picked them up from daycare, they were all smiles in their new seats.  They must be comfortable, as both the boys fell asleep on the drive home.
Here is what we were up to this weekend:
Saturday
  • Brian spent the day in Fort Recovery working on the floors in his Grandmother's house. 
  • I went shopping with my brother Aaron for food for the boys birthday party.
  • The boys became HUGE fans of Graeter's Black Raspberry Chip ice cream.  :-)
Sunday
The whole family went to church, then made our weekly trip to the grocery store.

Monday
  • We spring cleaned the family room - knocked down cobwebs and cleaned the baseboards. 
  • We wiped down the kitchen cabinets, and also the cupboards in the downstairs bathroom. 
  • We cleaned out the window seat storage - boxing up all the stuff the boys have been trying to get into. 
  • We washed up bedding and the car carriers so they could be put away.  Definitely a transitional period for us - putting away the "baby" items, and making the house more toddler friendly.

Yesterday it was back to work, but we plan to spend the week continuing to work on things around the house to prepare for our guests in a week and a half.  Hard to believe a week from tomorrow the boys turn ONE!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, and that the week ahead is a good for all as well.

Love,
Kate, Brian, Lincoln and Jackson
