Alyssa’s 3rd Birthday party!!!

 

What started out as a grouchy day…turned out to be a fun-filled happy day!!! I’m not going to write a whole lot because there is alot of pictures! But also, I am tired from a long day..Carter has a little ear infection :( But we went to the doctor today and he started his antibiotic so he should be back to normal by tomorrow!!

 

          

The BIG bath tub!

 

From day 1 I have given Carter his baths upstairs in the sink, but now that he is getting older I think its time for him to move up to the real bath tub! The reason I’ve waited this long is because our tub is very deep and its hard to bend over. So, the sink upstairs has been alot easier for me. However, now that he is older I feel more comfortable giving him a bath in our tub!! This is only his second time in it, the first time was when he was almost 5 months old and I got in with him :) I realized after the first time how hard it was and that it was best to wait a little longer!

Here are some picture from back then (10/19/08)

 

&& Now….what a difference 10 months makes :)

 

Another feet picture! i LOVE his little feet :)  

Ice Cream Party

 

 

Today CJ & I left work early ( I love days like these!) & went to Carter’s daycare for an “End of Summer” ice cream party!!! It was alot of fun watching him play with the other children as we watched outside of the door!! haha, He had no idea we were there at first, but he’s a smart little one and noticed us outside pretty quickly! The party was at 2:30 so after we ate and talked, we headed home :) Here are some pictures of our fun Friday!!

 

Carter playing :)

OOops!! He saw us!! haha!

After he saw us, he walked right over to the door and we went inside! He was so happy to see us!

He still looks sleepy in this picture because we got there around 2 & he had literally just woken up! sleepy head ;)

i love you…

Ready for ice cream!

On the way home…sweet little dimples!

Quite a Scare!

Even though this post isnt "Fun" like my usual posts, it does have a happy ending! So, last night Mommy had a bit of a scare. Toddler's are QUICK, let me tell you! All of you mommies out there know what I'm talking about! You can't take your eyes off of them, not even for a second! Last night Carter and I were in the kitchen downstairs (where half of the basement is unfinished) . Well, I was putting some things away and he was standing next to me. Then all of a sudden I look and he's on the other side of the room in the unfinished area! I dash over there to get him and I realize he has something in his mouth! I say "whats in your mouth, spit it out!" So he did (he knows now when he is doing something bad!) and its a piece of insulation from the walls!!! OMG, I FREAKED! I grabbed him and went running across the room so that I could rinse his mouth out with water and in the process of running, I tripped in the door way with him in my arms! We both fell, but I was able to keep him from getting hurt! He didnt touch the ground at all, ME on the other hand.....Well lets just say I'm glad summer is ending because shorts/skirts/etc will be out of the question with these bruises! But anyway, so at this point I get up, run to the bathroom and rinse out his mouth! I run upstairs and start telling CJ's parents what happened & they reassured me that insulation wasnt going to hurt him! But, to clear my own mind, CJ called poison control and turns out Carl was absolutley right! Insulation is not toxic or poisonous! The most it will cause is irritation to his throat or belly if he did in fact swallow some! PHEWWWWWWWWWW, I was so relieved to hear that...a little sick to my stomach lol but so happy!! But, I was still kicking myself in the butt for totally freaking the way I did! I need to learn to stay as calm and collected as possible in those situations so that I can think clearly and get the right help if needed!! I mean, I could have seriously hurt him or myself by falling like that! Hopefully there won't be a "next time" but, if there ever is (which there's a GOOD chance there will be!) I will try to handle it alot better and stay calm!

PS. For all you mom-bloggers out there, insulation is NOT poisonous! Many of you have toddlers and you all know they can get into anything!! And for those of you who have infants....here's what you have to look forward too, lol! GET READY for a bumpy ride ;)

The many faces of Carter

This weeks been pretty average. Not much going on! Actually the reason I haven’t posted in a few days is because I’ve been going to bed right after Carter! Sunday I stayed up too late so Monday & Tuesday were early nites for me :) Anyway, here are some pictures from our week so far. We’ve been playing out side a lot lately :)
