14 months old

Today Carter is 14 months old :)

We just hung around the house again today..... Here are some pictures from this after-noon!

Sweet dreams :)

CJ found these boots in his old storage bin. They were his when he was little! I think they are adorable, lol! Now they are Carters! My little cowboy ;)

Our "My Loves" finally bloomed! They are so pretty!

Penny, Denise's friend gave her these flowers...arent they pretty?! I cant remember what they are called though..

Thats all for today! Tomorrow after work Me and CJ are meeting up with Brandy, Alan and Ryder & going to the pool!! SO I will have plenty of pictures tomorrow night!!

XOXO before we go!

This morning feeding Carter his bottle before leaving for daycare....today we also leave for our annual camping trip. We will be back on sunday, but Carter is going to stay with my mom for part of the weekend and then grammy will pick him up tomorrow afternoon and bring him back home so he's here when we get back :) I will miss him, but I know he'll have fun while were gone!

Reaching out to me :*)

I put a pillow in his crib to help with his cough, it seems to help when he's propped up...

He is so adorable when he's sleeping.....he looks so peaceful

Last night.....sweet dreams baby:)

Down at the water

Daddy & Carter

Yesterday after it cooled down a little, we took Carter down to the water :) He has been down there before, but this was his first time in the water! CJ just dunked his feet in a little, but he seemed like he was having fun! The water was nice and refreshing & he played with the seashells on the shore too!! I am SO thankful that we have this farm, it is so beautiful down on the water!! He will have so much fun growing up down here, I just know it! Here are some pictures of us playing.

The water is so pretty

I think this is one of those pictures that just speaks for itself! I was going to use this one for "One Word Wednesday" but I couldnt find the right word to describe it. Its a picture I will cherish forever because everytime I look at it, I will be taken back to this moment. This little moment. Just us....

Once you have a child you realize that the little things in life are what matters most<3

A new place

As you all know, Carter has been "tansitioning" into the Pre-Toddler room for about 2 weeks now. Well, yesterday was his first full day in his new class! From now on, this is where he will be! Every morning when grammy drops him off (he is usually 1 of the 1st ones there) He will start off in the infant room until the rest of the teachers & kids come. Then, he will go to his new room and thats where he will stay until he gets picked up! This room is great. It has lots of neat toys for him to play with & now that he is older he gets to do alot more stuff, like go outside on the playground :) He also has set nap times, snack times, & activities! He has really learned alot since he has been here & I know he will learn much much more!

Here is a copy of his report card from his 1st "official" day!

My 7lb 10oz baby is now a "Toddler"

Happy Fathers Day

Footprints

"Walk a little slower daddy," said a child so small.

"I'm following in your footsteps

& I dont want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they're hard to see;

So walk a little slower, daddy,

For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up,

You're what I want to be;

The I will have a little child

Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;

So, walk a little slower, Daddy,

For I must follow you."

Happy Daddy Day<3

This is CJ's second Fathers Day, but this year was a little bit more special then last year. This year Carter could actually call him Daddy :) CJ is such a good Dad, but honestly I always knew he would be. He has always been good with kids. After all, he is a "BIG" kid himself. Carter doesnt realize it yet, but he is a lucky boy.....hes got the best dad in the world!

This morning we woke up & Carter gave daddy his Fathers day card &

hand print that he made at school! It was really cute. CJ was so happy & the Card is SO sweet. It was his little foot prints on it and a beautfiul poem inside! It made me want to cry! But then again, I cry at everything! After that, we got ready & headed over to Shamansky's for breakfast. It was CJ's treat for being such a good Dad. It was delicious as always & we had fun going out to eat just the three of us :) Once we finished breakfast, we were off to church for the Fathers Day service......

Here are some pictures from breakfast and church!

Leaving Church

After Church, we went to my parents house for a Fathers Day visit. We hung out for a while and they all got to see Carter walk for the first time (since he started on 6/17) It was nice because Friday was also my Dad's 54th birthday! Happy Fathers Day & Birthday Paps :) We love you SO much!

I couldnt ask for a better daddy & friend :) I will always be his little girl <3

Busy day.......

After we left my parents house, we stopped by uncle Justins to see his new bike & get the title for the pop-up camper that he gave us!

It was a LONG day, but it was a good day.

Happy Fathers day everyone!!!
