What's new over here....

Things over at the Martin House have been very busy lately. The house is coming along great. I actually think we might be to the point where we can start decorating and maybe even paint a little bit, just to add some color. The garden is growing really well and we are SLOWLY getting rid of some of the weeds in the yard. The dog's also love the yard, so much in fact, that they dig holes all over, eat the red wood chips and dig up the grass seed we just laid. But that's another story...

On another note, Carter has been having fun in his swim class. Last week we introduced dunking under water. He did very well! It was a little surprising for him, but in general he doesn't mind at all. I think we might have a water baby on our hands.

Last week we also changed his daycare. He has been at La Petite since he was 3 months old and we really liked it, but with the new baby coming it is too costly to have them both there (try $2100 a month, that's almost double our mortgage!). So Sarah, my Sister-In-Law, recommended someone who does in home daycare. So far it has worked out very well, but you can tell it is a huge adjustment for Carter. He has never known anything but La Petite, so it has been stressful. He does fine all day while he is there, but it's the dropping him off part that is hard. It doesn't help that he is going through an extremely clingy, to ONLY Mommy, stage. (I really don't mind, if I could spend all day holding, carrying and hugging him I would. But with my pregnant aches it has proven to be a little difficult lately.) I am sure that after another week or two it will be part of his routine and he will be more comfortable with it. At least that's what I hope for. Maybe he is just really sad to have left his daycare girl friends. He was having lots of fun kissing all the girls in his toddler class. :) He is so lovable.
