Boys will be boys!

Riding on the ‘Mule’ is one of Carter MOST favorite things to do!! We live on so much land, who wouldn’t love it!!? Anyway, all we have to say is “Carter, you wanna go for a ride?” & He heads straight for the front door to go outside :) Its the cutest thing! We take him all over the farm and down to the water. Yesterday we went down to the water and Carter got right in! The water was nice and warm too! I forgot to bring my camera with me yesterday, figures…but I got some cute shots today!

I ♥ my boys…..

I wonder who's more excited..daddy or Carter?! lol

A Birth mark & a lazy day :)

It was just an average day for us again…We didn’t do much, just hang around the house. So here are some pictures from this afternoon!!

Carter’s Birthmark

The weekend & some pictures

Here are some pictures from Saturday afternoon! We went to Alan, Brandy & Ryders house to hang out! The men went to go change a flat (which took hours to do, i might add..lol) and the girls chit-chatted all after noon! It was a fun day :)

Kristen & Ryder :)

&& This is from Sunday after noon....He gets temper tantrums now, i thought that wasnt until the "Terrible Two's" ? Guess not! LOL

Thats all for now. Like I said in the post before this one, its been a busy few days! I had to let Carter cry tonight because he didnt want me to put him to bed in his crib. He fell asleep in my arms, but as soon as I put him down he was up! So, instead of picking him back up, I said good night & left! Well, that didnt go over too well! lol BUT it is for the best! He hasnt been sleeping good & neither have I so were both cranky! Hopefully he doesnt wake up in the middle of the night this time, but if he does Ive already decided that he is just going to have to cry because he needs to understand that he cant sleep in mommy & daddys bed! I'll write about my night tomorrow! cross your fingers for us :) we need a good nights sleep!

FYI :-)

Its been a few days since my last post...Just wanted to let everyone know that everything is fine :) Weve just had a busy last few days! But tonight i will definetly have pictures to put up from the weekend & stuff! Carter just hasnt been sleeping good since last monday...i took him to Patient First yesterday to get checked out because of all his congestion and sneezing/coughing! Well, it turns out he has an ear infection and a little Upper Respiratory infection. But nothing big! She said his lungs sound good!! But maybe the ear infection is whats been messing with his sleep at night! Hopefully he will get back to normal this week :) I pray anyway, Im so tired! hhaa

Playing outside :)

LOTS OF PICTURES ;)

Today we played outside with the hose & went to the playground down the street! Carter loved the hose..lol! He had so much fun today! I love fun days like today ♥

Soaking wet!!

Ahhh!!

Pool Fun ;)

Its almost the end of July & today was Carter's first time ever in a 'real' pool! He had a kitty pool until it got a hole in the bottom :( But this was alot different than that! Brandy invited us to go with her and her friend Sharon and her daughter Sofia to this pool in VA. We just went in the kids pool, but it was fun! Carter was a little scared and clung to me the whole time we were there, but I think the more he goes the more he'll like it! The water was warm and we got to hang out and relax :)

Mommy & Carter ♥

Ryder, Brandy, Me & Carter :)

Carter kept looking at Ryder, lol it was hard to get him to look at the camera :) I cant wait till they can run around and play together! Well, I take that back, haha time goes by too fast anyway, so I better enjoy these days. They'll be bigger then us before we know it ♥

The pool :)

It was fun and I hope we can do it again soon!!

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!!

Ohh monday, monday...

Today we just hung around the house! Nothing really new going on...exept, Carter learned how to say "Tractor" lol! I guess reading everynight before bed has paid off! He is picking up new words everyday!! Thats about it though, so here are some pictures!!

Looking at the rain..

Walking around :)
after his bath...he went to bed at 7:15 tonight! he was so sleepy

You can really tell how blue his eyes are next to mine!

Ooops!

OOps! I guess I forgot about these!! Here are some more pictures from Carter's 1st haircut!!

not in the mood

This last one isnt very clear, He was mad for a while after his hair cut..so Daddy took him outside to play on the Mule.

Play Time!

Thursday night Our good friends Tara & Blake came over with their son Kaiden. Kaiden was born November 18th 2008, so he is 6 months younger than Carter! He is already crawling and pulling to stand like a pro and he is only 8 months old!! Carter didnt crawl until he was 10 months old!! Anyway, they are at the age where they can play and have fun together! It was so funny watching them interact, lol! I have a video of Carter pushing Kaiden on the Car you see in the picture below, but Blogger wont let me put in up right now..its being so slow!! So, I will try again later. Here are some pictures though!

Here, I'll show you how to turn the key :)

Wheee!

Having a blast!

So small ♥

May your wishes all come true,

Ps. These pictures are from last summer :)

aww, sweet memories!

Look at these pictures Brandy found on her phone! Arent they sweet?! They were from last summer, when Carter was just a peanut :)

Time flies....

Toes....Nose ;)

This post is about learning & growing. Carter has learned so many new things lately, its amazing how much children his age absorb! He is like a little sponge, soaking everything in that he sees & hears! Thats why I have decided that I am going to teach him spanish & I'm going to start now! There is no better time than now. I was taught by my mother and grandmother & with their help, I will teach him. Afterall, he is a 1/4 Cuban, lol!

SO, next thing to talk about...

At Daycare they are constantly teaching the children new things. Well, this week they taught the kids to point to their nose, mouth, eyes, etc. Carter has picked this up very quickly! I ask him "where are your fingers?" And he sticks his little fingers out for me to see. I'll ask him "where is your mouth?" And he'll point to his little mouth and sitck his tongue out! He can point to his hair, eyes, nose, & pat his belly when I say "Where is your belly?" haha! He is so smart!

Every night before bed, I read him a book. His favorite books are the "Johnny Tractor" books & his "Winne the Pooh" book. Well, in these books he can point to certain objects when I ask him where they are. For example, in the Pooh book he can point to Piglet & Tigger! In the Farm ABC Book, he can point to the Tractor & the Dog! I love reading to him, he is such a good listener & even helps turn the pages :)

As for walking, well...if I do say so myself, my little guy is a pro! He is such a good walker & he is even started to go faster, like he is about to start running! MAN, am I gonna have my hands full! But I love every second of it :)

He walks into daycare everymorning & walks out to the car every afternoon! He waves bye-bye when he leaves and when he arrives in the morning, its always with a smile! Everyone there knows him....after all, CJ went there! haha! But they all love him and he loves them now! Every day I get a report card about his day and 9 times out of 10 he has had a great day, all smiles!!

There is just so many new changes going on with him lately, its like time is moving in fast-forward mode or something. he is learning so fast and changing everyday! Its been a while since I have written such a lengthy post, but I am just having so much fun...theres no way I can keep it to myself! Anyway, thats all for now! Next month I will have a whole new list of things to write about, I'm sure :)
