Easter Sunday

Now that is one cute picture with Papa, Grandma, and their grandboys.
This Easter Egg hunting is serious business. He was looking for chocolate I am pretty sure. He looked in all of his eggs until he found what he was wanting.

Not the best pic ever, but this was the only one I got with Aunt Christy and Cousin Henry.
Momma loves her little Easter bunny!
Dying eggs. Carter actually thought it was pretty fun...
but silly boy was trying to eat them.

Our little family.

We had a very nice Easter despite the crappy weather. It basically rained the entire day without stopping. We went to church and Carter cried in the nursery until Clay went and got him out. He did actually sit with us for the entire sermon. I can't say I minded holding my little guy all through church. We had lunch with my family and dinner with Clay's. Another wonderful holiday. We are so extremely blessed to have loving and caring families. Carter is one loved little boy!

Mid-April pics

Daddy and Carter reading a bedtime story
The first part of April Carter got his first big boo-boo, So I just had to take a picture of it. Poor little guy, but he didn't even cry much.
Carter sitting at his new desk and playing with mom's cell phone. One of Carter's favorite things to do it play with cell phones. I have recently downloaded a couple of children's learning games that he likes to play. He accidentally shuts it off and hands it back to me saying...more play momma.

Last couple of weeks of March

Carter on top of Ellie, poor doggie is so good with him. He just loves to smother her.
At Jumpin'Joey's.
Grandma and Carter and Jumpin' Joey's. He really loved it this time. The first time he had went a couple of months ago he was a little scared. But once he figured out the slides he was all about it. Grandma, mom, or dad had to get in with him though. His cousin Kalee was in town and he loved playing with her.
He had a boo boo so he put he little car on his head that we keep in the fridge.
Watching Sesame Street.

After looking back on these pictures I remembered that Carter had taken a nap on Saturday, which was March 26th. When I had went in to get him he had stripped down to completely nothing. He had taken off his full w/footies pj's and diaper and all. Amazingly enough he did not pee in the bed. I have no clue what made him do that, and he has not done it since. I would love to know what is going on in that little head of his. He is too funny!!!

New Orleans

Picture of New Orleans, there was a parade the first night we were there.
Here is me in front of a fountain in the French Quarter.
A picture of Beignets from Cafe Du Monde.
Picture just before sunset of Bourbon Street.
Carter and I at the airport before I left.

I had a work conference from March 19-23 in New Orleans. This was the longest that I had ever been away from Carter. New Orleans was fun and I got to experience a lot of the local favorites. I went with a couple of girls from work. We tried Hurricanes from Pat O'Briens, Beignets from Cafe Du Monde, Hand Grenade from Tropical Isle, and lots of yummy New Orleans food. I did also learn a lot at the conference too. Dadda stepped in to full time Mommy and Daddy roll and did a wonderful job, even though he did get dinner cooked for him every night. I couldn't believe how much I missed my family. It was really busy the whole time, so I didn't have time to think about missing my boys.

Fun Times - Late Feb/Early March

Carter playing with his friend Emma
They had such a good time together.

It was the cutest thing...Emma was helping Carter with his shoes.
One of those priceless smiles.
Playing with dad.

First Big Boy Hair Cut- Feb 20

This is Carter and dad in the waiting area before he got his haircut. He does seem pretty concerned about what was going on.
He would not sit in the seat on the booster...so we put him on Clay's lap instead. He did great with that.
Not sure if this is the first, second, or third sucker...but they were necessary to get him to sit still.
This is him almost done. We didn't go too short because I just couldn't bare no curls, but Jen (Clay's hairdresser and family friend) did a great job giving him a good trim. We couldn't have asked for a better boy!

18 MONTHS! Growing Up.

Now that is a sweet smile!
I love this one too, and your hair is completely out of control.
Wrestling with Ellie. Poor puppy...but you guys have fun together.
Ha ha, your hair is completely out of control.
Reaching for the camera. This happens almost every time I try to take pictures.

I know I keep on saying this, but wow how fast you are growing up. Every day there is something new and different. You continue to talk more each day. You are starting to call most of the family by name (which melts their hearts). When either grandma or grandpa are around you won't go to anyone else. I think it might be because they spoil you so much. I still think you are a wonderful toddler, but I am rather biased. You definitely have your moments, but most of the time you are a sweetheart. The past month or so we have done timeouts and they have worked pretty well. You did have a slight melt down in Kohl's, but luckily Grandma Morgan was there to help you look for Big Bird. You are still eating good most of the time, but it can be hit or miss. Some of your favorites are chicken nuggets, peas, mac and cheese, waffles, pancakes, apples, bananas, graham crackers, and of course milk. We are also very thankful that you have only one cold all winter long. We have been blessed with a healthy boy!
