10 Months



Wow, I haven't seriously updated this in a while. Lizzie will be 10 months old tomorrow. I can not believe it. At her 9 month check up (9/19), she weighed 16.6 pounds, Length 26 and 1/4 inches, Head 46 and 1/2 cm. She had to have two shots but she only cried for a second. My little peanut isn't so little anymore. She is crawling everywhere and getting into everything. She doesn't listen to me at all. She is no longer eating baby food - grown up foods all the way! :) She has been sick this week. Her first cold. She has a mild fever and a mucus-like cough. But she is a lot better now. She can wave goodbye and clap. She has three teeth. I'm so proud of her. I love her so much.

Sweet Pea's First Baseball Game



We took Sweet Pea to her first Braves game yesterday. Hubby didn't want us to go. I think because he wanted to go by himself. I insisted because I don't care that I am breastfeeding. I feel like sometimes he uses that against me so I have to stay at home and he gets to go out all the time. Regardless of what he thinks, he needs to either realize we should do stuff as a family or he should stay at home with us as a family.

Anyways even Hubby said Sweet Pea was perfect and that it was fun.

I had fun but baseball is boring without beer. ;)


Sweet Pea's First Vacation


Florida Bound!
We left later than intended because Hubby's Nanny (my MIL's mom) fell and was in the hospital because she broke her hip. We went and visited with her before we set out just to make sure she would be okay if we left. Sweet Pea was a trooper and did amazing!



Day 2:
We spent the whole day at the beach! This day was September 11. It was a beautiful day. Sweet Pea didn't care for the water or the sand. Well, she didn't know quite what to think about the sand. My MIL insisted I go up to the room to nurse. I feel like everyone wants if to be inconvenient for me so I will stop. :/





That night in Panama City we went to visit this pier that is across the street from Pier Park. Poor Sweet Pea was so tired.




Day 3:
We went to the beach and then went and raced go karts that night.



 



I finally got to nurse on the beach because my MIL went shopping. The boys didn't even notice! And it was very liberating. :D




Day 5:
We went to Pineapple Willy's for Dinner.
 
 




Some Random Pics, Just Because! :D



Sophie even had a blast at the Beach! :D


SweetPea's first sand castle! :D



Coming Home! It's a little Peanut on a big Peanut! :D





A Nerd In Training



We took Sweet Pea to her first Dragon*Con. Dragon*Con is a yearly sic-fi convention we attend every year.

One of my dear friends from when I was on the Atlanta Rocky Horror cast, Lips Down On Dixie, sent Sweet Pea this onesie and I adore it. Lips Down on Dixie performs at Dragon*Con every year.



This was taken the next day. SweetPea went as Aurora or Sleeping Beauty as you none Disnerds might call her. :) Hubby is yellow because he went as Homer from The Simpsons the night before.

Infantino SlingRider & CozyRider Carrier Review




SlingRider

I asked for this when in registered. My boss had one and I wore her daughter around when we went to [a bounce house place]. I loved it for just walking around. But I needed it for doing chores around the house. I tried pulling the straps up where she would closer so nursing would be easier but then I felt like she was being smushed.

The other issue I had that although it was suppose to be breathable, Sweet Pea would sweat a ridiculous amount even just in a onesie. NOT a fan of this carrier and I don't feel like I can recommend it.

In doing this review I found out about a recall back in March 2010. Which is scary enough in itself. I received this as a gift from my sister-in-law but she bought it at a consignment store so who knows if mine was a recalled one or not. I would hope not though. It was brand new in the box.



CozyRider

Ugh. I actually bought this one. We were going to Stone Mountain and I wanted a carrier so she could be held like she wanted but not be so heavy on my back.

In the image here it shows the legs at a wide stance but I felt like this carrier gave Sweet Pea a wedgie. And it put a lot of the weight on my shoulders still instead of all over feel. It also was nearly impossible to put her in there by myself. I went grocery shopping and decided to use this carrier but I almost never got her in and then she again was uncomfortable because I was. I wouldn't recommend this carrier either. In the picture we are at the lake again later. As you can see, she is not very comfy.



Does anyone have a good carrier that they would recommend?
