Our first post!


Hi Everyone. Well I have decided that instead of sending out monthly EMails and clogging up everybody's inbox, that I would start a Blog! When I update it I will send out an EMail for everyone to see! Carter is getting extremely good at sitting up from the laying down position. I find him sitting up all the time on his own! I cannot tell you how happy this makes me, to see him progress so much. I know that his braces were needed and still are, but he's moving so well now! Cameron and I have been practicing his standing with him. At first he wouldn't know what to do and wobble a lot. Now when I try to put him on the floor he stiffens up and wants to stand! He hasn't figured out how to take steps yet. But I have no doubt that he will get there soon. He's starting to use more sounds when he talks. Not just 'Da-da', or 'bu-bu'. If you say Hi to him he will try to say it back! I also think he is getting his one year Molars. He shoves his toys as far back into his mouth as he can, as well as his fingers. 
Grandma and Grandpa Millington came last weekend to visit. Carter REALLY enjoyed it. When they left he sat there and stared at the door for about 5 minutes not looking to happy. We had a nice relaxing weekend. Mom used my Cricut machine for scrap booking and on Sunday we played games!
I have an interview at Wal-Mart on Wednesday, and I am actually quite nervous. The last interview I had was over 3 years ago fro Lens Crafters! Wish me luck!

So i have been wanting to post all the projects i've been working on. But we are sick. Lovely flu. But the reason I am posting... Erica started rolling over yesterday! I could barley drag myself out of bed, but then i was greeted with this. She looks SO proud of herself when she does it too. Shes been trying since she was 2 months old. So I was wondering when she would get all the way. Shes 5 months in a week or so. She would only do it when you weren't looking. But now shes going crazy! She gets on her belly and tries to push with her feet. SO CUTE!!  She wont stay on her back anymore. Then when she rolls over she stares you down until you praise her. This is this morning. She is an old pro now.

Blogging it because I cannot talk about it.

Cam and I have told people more then once, "Carter is suspect Autism Spectrum Disorder". But after so many months of waiting, and having a specialist sit you down and say  "After observing you son, we firmly believe that he has Autism".   I now realize that I was not prepared to deal with the fact that Carter has Autisum.  I was, and still am, Devastated.  After the specialist told us of her conclusions she then asked , "Now after hearing that, how are you feeling? Are ok? Do you have questions? Can I help?" Honestly I thought I was fine. "We knew this was coming" I said. "I'm fine". Cams answer was the same. After she said "Yes, but sometimes having it confirmed makes it sink in, and you don't react how you thought you would". She was right. As soon as she said that I looked deeper and I knew I was ready to burst into tears. I wanted her out of my house and NOW. I knew Cam was dealing with his own feelings, so I h...

Kids Calenders

So I feel like I am doing A LOT of projects lately. It has been wonderful. I feel as if the "I just had a baby" haze is slowly lifting and I am feeling (sort of) human again. My first project was 'Cams Christmas Countdown' . There are more to come! This one is more of an on going project. But I loved the idea so much that I decided to share. I was at a friends house awhile ago, and I notice her wall was covered in Calenders. I of course asked her why. She told me that she doesn't have time to keep journals for all her kids, so she buys them their own calender every year, and keeps all of their appointments, play dates, birthdays... anything thing to do with that child on their calender. So when they get older, they can go through them and see what they did growing up. FANTASTIC. Ever since Carter was born, I have felt guilt at not keeping some sort of journal for my kids. I barley write in mine anymore. I usually will sit down with my journal and need to rec...
