The Carpenter Family

Justin and I moved to Nevada in August 2005. We love it here. However we miss our family and friends back home. Our church here is great! We have been married for 7 years. We have one Daughter, Isabella who was born Oct 19 2006 and a son Caleb due in Feb of 2009! This blog is for our Family and Friends to catch up on how we are doing. What a great invention!

    Update pics








    Caleb is now six weeks old. I would like to say that time has flown by and I can't believe it, but the truth is it's actually been a LONG six weeks! He is a little colicky and has an insane amount of gas that seems to hit him around 2 or 3:00 in the morning and keeps us awake for at least an hour and half while he gets it out. Bella was so easy as a baby. Slept alot, ate every four hours and would go about 6-8 hours at night. She was rarely fussy, unlike Caleb. But we love him and he is cute! I love little boy clothes, although I feel less confident in dressing him in cute clothes than I did with Bella.I guess you can't get lucky twice! :) Oh well! It helps that I don't work but since we have Bella who is a very busy, stubborn 2 1/2 year old who doesn't always take a nap, the days are long and can be a struggle. I have researched so much on his gas and grunting and tried all kinds of things. He actually sleeps in his car seat in out bed! I think though we will put it in his crib since the last two nights he did better in it. Justin bought Caleb a Duke jersey and himself one so they could watch the NCAA tournement together! It was very cute!Easter is around the corner, and I can't beleive it! Once Easter is over we are going to start potty training Bella! Am I crazy to do this with a newborn! We tried once a couple of months ago but I was impaitent being 9 months pregnant and she just wasn't interested, I was tired of cleaning poo and pee up off the carpet and she ran out of underwear in about 3 days. Pull ups were no use what so ever. She didn't think they were any different that diapers. I am going to get her those plastic covers though this time for her underwear so I don't have to clean up as much pee. We shall see! Anyway, we are going to get Calebs 8 week pics done this month and some family pics as well, I will post those ans soon as we do. Well here are some pics of Caleb and Bella and some random other pics!
