Couponing

I've decided that my life is not busy enough so I thought I'd add more chaos to it and try Coupon shopping. I've been scouring the web searching for the best sites with the best coupon stacking information. My favorite right now is Fabulously Frugal. It is Awesome, it tells you which items are so cheap that its time to stock up. I ventured out to Super Target today and got some great deals! I bought all the stuff pictured below for only $18.62. I was very proud of myself.
And yesterday I got a Super Sweet deal at Staples. I was looking to buy Turbo Tax and I know this time of year they do all kinds of deals on anti-virus software when you buy tax software. (I refuse to pay full price for Internet Security/anti-virus software, I don't think I have Ever paid more than $30 for 3 computer internet security software.) So I checked Staples on line and found a 15% off coupon and it did NOT exclude software like it usually does.Then I found that I had $19.20 in Staples Rewards Money to use. I went to Staples and found my Turbo Tax for Home & Business Software for $89.99. Then I found Norton Internet Security for 3 computers for $64.99, it was on sale for $32.49 because I bought Turbo Tax. I used my 15% off coupon, which saved me $18.37, then used my Staples Rewards Bucks which saved me $19.20 bringing my grand total to $92.34 tax included! Pretty Sweet huh!!! It just takes a little time and research and it feels SO GOOD to get Great Deals!!!! 
Oh, I forgot the best part, the Norton Software purchase qualified for a REBATE. So not only did I save $76.20 I will also get a $35 Visa Gift Card in the mail. How awesome is that!!!! So it's like I paid $57.34 for both. Love it!!!!!!!

4 months

Our precious baby Claudia turned 4 months yesterday!!! She is still a great baby and gets cuter every day. I took her to the doctor for her check up today and she is doing well.
She is now:
14 lbs 2 oz.
24.4 inches long(so not much change there)
head circumference=16.3 inches
making her around the 50th percentile for all. 
She did pretty good with her shots. Last time she had a mild fever for about 24 hours so we will see if that happens again.
We are also working on teaching her to fall asleep on her own and take naps that last for more than 30 minutes. Hopefully she will catch on soon!!!
Overall she is a GREAT baby and we are so very blessed!!!
