Carson carved his pumpkin the other night (10/24)--wait, I mean BRAD AND I carved a pumpkin...lol. Carson "directed" us. Brad got all the goop out because we all know MY child doesn't like goopy stuff on his hands (need I remind you of the "trauma" of his 1st birthday and the cake on his hands?). Don't let him fool you though...anything dry (ie-sand, dirt, rocks) he's ok with, but sticky goop is a no-go. Hi-Power (Brad's grandmother) picked up a stencil kit and pumpkin light that changes colors. Carson decided he wanted the cat stencil. He mainly just wanted to play with the carving stuff. Selah did was she does best during the day--sleep.

C.A.O.S. Fall for All
Brad was in the Driver's Competition on Sunday and I picked Carson up from Nanny and Pops so he could see all the crazy driving. It was a zig-zag course and pretty tough! Brad had great run times, and finished out in 2nd place for the 2nd year in a row--he loves consistency in his life...this was the only pic that I got where you could see him good enough...
100% ALL BOY in the dirt!
Brad's 32nd Birthday
This is Grandmother Grace (Brad's maternal grandmother) and Hi-Power (Brad's paternal grandmother)
I wish Mary Grace (Brad's sister) was in this pic--that would've made it 4 generations....
I love the fact Selah's "smiling" with her MeMom, Julie (Brad's mom)--but it may have just been some gas...;)

*Come on, y'all! Someone's GOT to know someone who needs a car! I've got to have a SUV with all these "chillrenz" and their "luggage" (not to mention Wal-Mart stock just went up 300 points because of our formula and diaper-buyer power and I can no longer fit my bi-monthly Wal-Mart run in this car!).

His Father's Child
Just pure "Suga"!
Well, I continued to pump to keep my milk supply up, and she started on formula. Lo and behold, the cow went dry (I breastfed Carson for 4 wks and I wonder if my body "remembered" and just quit producing???) so we stayed on the formula. She was still extemely gassy, inconsolable and just not a happy baby. We began the process of "formula hopping" and I thought she was doing ok on the Enfamil Gentlease (for gassiness and spit-up). Then I noticed the "baby acne" on her face got worse and was around her ears and neck. UREAKA--it all started making sense: the Gentlease is a milk-based formula; Carson had a dairy allergy. Needless to say, I changed her to the "Golden Powder" (perfect code name because of price) Nutrimegin, called Dr. Smith and got a Zantac script and VOILA! New baby! (If any of you REALLY care about us, you'll buy as much Arbonne as you can so I can feed my child...lol.) Literally, within 2 days she was sleeping soundly (at least 1-4hr stretch and then every 2 hours at night) and doesn't seem to be in any "pain" after she eats. Too bad she hasn't pooped any GOLD to reimburse us for feeding her...I'm sure my dad finds that funny considering how much I ate when I was at home for 21 years...lol. I think I paid him well with 2 grandkids! ;) Althought when we found out it was a girl this time, he just smiled and said, "you haven't paid for you raisin' YET (referring to Carson being the 'angel')." Hey, I worked HARD to make that man bald AND grey-headed...!

1st Bath
"Tub 'o Lard" Bradley
She's still getting up every 2 hours at night. She'll sleep from around 10:30pm to 1:30am or 2am and then it's about every 2 hours...so, delirium has set in for me at this point and I wonder if I'll ever be normal again...wait--is ANYONE normal after kids?
*about 5 days old*
