New Blog Look

I had fun giving my blog a facelift.  I love Amanda's Fall Collection 2009 digi-kit.  It was a freebie on her website www.kevinandamanda.com.  I used the Gimp to create it using her kit.  It's a great free alternative to Photoshop.  I could play around with designing blogs using kits ALL DAY if I could.  :)  I'm still hoping to learn how to create my own digi-kits someday.  I REALLY would like to know how to make all those cute scrapbook elements.

One Proud Mommy


Our little girl is now 1 month old! How fast time has passed by. We had her 1 month check up and her doctor says she's doing just fine. She weighs about 12 lbs and is 22.5 inches. My little girl is about out of her 3 month clothing already! I'm not ready for her to be on 6 month clothing! At night she's slept to 5 hours a couple of times which was wonderful! She still has nights where she wakes up every 2 hours to nurse. She does pretty well during the day. She stays up for some periods where Carson will read to her or sing her songs. It's really cute to watch. Carson has been doing pretty well. He has his moments but he's still only 3. He LOVES his sister. He constantly wants to kiss her and see her. Carson still enjoys his letters and numbers. I brought out my decodable books from school and started having him read them to see how he does. He does such a good job and I'm so proud of him.
