Its from the Kidney Foundation thanking him for participating in the 2009 walk :) I never thought about it, but that was Carter's very first time volunteering!! The letter also states that they hope to see us this year for the 2010 Kidney walk, well...you can bet we'll be there! We really had a good time last year and knowing that we're contributing to a good cause, makes it even more special! Go Team Ryder, Goooo ; )
Actually, that’s exactly how Carter felt when he got home from daycare today…hot! He had a glassy look in his eye & felt warm to touch. I took his temperature and it read 101.5. No runny nose, no cough, no nothing….just a fever! I waited until right before bed to give him Tylenol because I wanted to see if it was gonna go up. Well, it went up to 101.8, but then back down to 100.7 after his bath. I put him to bed at 7:15 because he just seemed like that’s all he wanted to do is go to bed! I can tell he doesn’t feel good, poor baby!
I just checked his temperature again about 30 minutes ago and now its back down to 98.4, but that’s more than likely due to the Mortin. I set my alarm for midnight so that I can check his temperature again and give him Tylenol if needed! I hope this is just a little cold and he’s better tomorrow. That’s kids for ya I guess, they catch everything!!!
Here are some pictures of my sweet sleeping boy…
&& How did we spend ours?? Well, Carter spent some time over at Me-ma’s while mommy helped her friend Tara try on wedding dresses :) It was a good day because she ended up buying the dress!! YAY! After that, we headed home and had some cuddling time before its back to daycare and work!! At least its a short week =)
Tara & Kaiden
Kaiden…he is such a sweetheart
Sunday evening after Carter went to bed, CJ & I ventured out to Target to get Carter his first potty :) We left the baby monitor upstairs with Granny while we were gone, but as always he did not make a peep while we were out. We got him a Fisher Price “Royal Stepstool Potty” that plays music when he pees/poops :) Its precious and I can’t wait to start working with him on it!
I plan to take it slow & let him go at his own pace!! I heard boys can be a little more difficult when it comes to potty training, but we’ll see. Wish us luck everyone!! This should be fun ; )
Sunday afternoon we ordered one of Carter’s favorite foods…PIZZA :) I swear he loves it so much, he could eat it everyday if we let him! As soon as he hears the word ‘pizza’ he starts saying “I wan pissa” just like that! Now, how can I say no to that?!
“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore”
Haha, Good night :)
This morning after sleeping in until almost 8:30 :) we decided to go to Shamansky’s for breakfast! They’re food is always so delicious & its a buffet so you have lots of choices! It’s a rainy, nasty, cold day out, so after breakfast we just went back home & have been relaxing ever since. Carter took a nap around 2:30 & slept for about an hour. Now we are eating pizza for dinner & watching cartoons! Tomorrow is Martin Luther King’s birthday so we’re all off work & daycare! hooorayyy :)
Here are some pictures from our morning!!
Carter loved this cup so much, we took it home ;)
My loves

Nice & full ……
Watching Barney…
Saturday I met up with some friends for lunch at Red Robbin. I thought we were meeting at 1pm so I went to my moms to kill time. Well, Brandy calls around 12:20 and asks if Carter & I are still coming!
Well, I didn’t want to be even more late than I already was, so I left Carter with my mom and rushed out the door! I didn’t take him with me because I would have had to gather all of his things and mine and it was just easier & faster to go with out him. Well, lunch was good & afterwards, Mandi, Brandy, & I went to the mall for a little while. I’m glad I decided to go to the mall because I actually got a few things for myself & on sale at that!
Around 3:30 we left the mall & I headed back to my moms to get Carter. We got home around 5 and had dinner, played, bath, & bed!
Carter ended up going to bed around 8:15pm & slept until 8:22am this morning…..ahhh it was soo nice :) I hope he sleeps like that again tonight!
Here are all of us mama’s at lunch

I was finally able to put up a video after months of none!! I hope to put up many more because they are so fun to watch :)
Not much really going on this week. I haven’t had much to post about, it’s been pretty quiet around here. I am glad that the week is half way over and our 3 day weekend is almost here :) Gotta love long weekends! I do, however, have some new things to blog about this week in the world of Carter’s ever-growing vocabulary!! Daddy taught Carter how to say “Hot mama” haha and “Chocolate Milk”! He says hot mama perfectly, but chocolate milk sounds more like “cholate milk”
Also this week, Carter’s been more grouchy than usual when he gets home from daycare. I don’t know if he’s teething again or if he’s just tired, but it’s got to be one of the two because he’s not sick. which reminds me….I’ve been debating whether or not to blog about this because I don’t want to jinx it ;) BUT… Carter hasn’t had an ear infection in over 2 months now! The tubes are working perfectly and it makes me so happy. I mean, this boy used to get an ear infection every month almost so this is a huge deal!
Anyway, here are some pictures from Saturday that I forgot to put up-shame on me! && Also from Monday afternoon and yesterday.
Saturday, he fell asleep on the way home from BJ’s…
Monday, home from daycare and relaxing watching Barney!
Tuesday, jumping on the bed after his bath
Waving bye bye…
So that’s been our week so far! Tomorrow is Thursday & I’m sure we’ll be doing the same thing…hanging out at home :) Can’t wait for the nice long weekend to start!!
Tonight right after Carter was done eating his snack, he threw up! Not really sure why…he hasn’t thrown up since and that was at 7:15pm. He was drinking his chocolate milk pretty fast and almost finished the whole cup, but still I’m a little worried. I guess that’s what mom’s do best though.
He’s been fine all day. We went to BJ’s with Granny and Carter didn’t get a good nap in since we were out, but he did fall asleep on the ride home and slept for about an hour. Then he played, ate dinner, took his bath and played some more. It almost seemed like he just drank his milk too fast and then he had a huge burp…well when he burped, he threw up all the milk and some of his snack. But, like I said, he was fine afterwards and has been asleep for almost an hour now. weird!
I just hope he doesn’t have a stomach bug or anything, those are the worst! I keep going in his room to check on him and he’s sleeping fine right now. Hopefully he doesn’t get sick anymore. I’m going to go to bed and keep the monitor close to me just in case, but I’m praying that it was just overeating or something that caused it! Say a little prayer for him and I’ll update tomorrow about how our night went.
Its a funny name, but that’s what it’s called! “The Pre-Toddler Tattler” sheet that gets sent home with Carter everyday. It’s usually just a description of his daily activities, nothing too spectacular! But today it was just that, spectacular, at least I think so!
Besides the fact that he got this “Accident Report” ….what can I say?! Boys are rough! He’s just fine though, not even a scratch!
He also got some extra comments on his “Tattler” form!!
Please read below:
Now, I thought that was SO adorable & amazing! I just can’t believe how much more he is talking these days. I feel like I can actually have a conversation (well almost!) with him. I need to put more videos of him talking on here because it seems like anytime we go out in public, he shuts up like a clam!
Tonight we are just relaxing at home. Daddy is going hunting in the morning so he has to get up early. After that, we may go visit our friends Alan, Brandy, & Ryder :)
Here is one final picture…
I just love watching him play in the tub… Goodnight :)
It’s never boring around this house, that’s for sure! Even on a regular old Thursday afternoon, Carter finds a way to entertain us all :) He get’s into everything now-a-days and is a little ball of energy!! During the day he is non-stop playing, laughing, & learning with his friends at daycare. He takes a 2 hour nap everyday from around noon until 2pm. Then he’s back at it again, running, playing and getting into something.
By the time he gets home you would think he’d be worn out from his long day, but ohhh no! He plays until he’s good and worn out, which is usually around 6:30. Then, he takes his bath, eats a snack, and is in bed before 8pm most nights!
Here are some pictures of him playing this afternoon:
“Hewow”
Making funny faces on the glass door
Beautiful sunset…
Playing with my phone & his play phone that came with the car above :)
So, as you can see, we have a good time around here everyday of the week!
