Carter Update!

He just keeps getting more fun and funnier every day!





Loving on his teddy bears! 


First NBA game! 
 Munching on popcorn and watching the game!

Sunday best with Sissy!






Carter is a talking machine! He is still shy in public places, but when he is in his comfort one…he is your typical chatty and wild 2 year old. He gets so much attention wherever we go. He is already breaking girls hearts! He loves to eat "warchiches" (aka: sandwiches), "nana's", chicken, "gapes" (grapes), cookies, "ronies" (macaroni), yogurt, oatmeal, and goldfish crackers. He likes more things but for the most part, he is a picky little eater. He used to eat vegetables but not anymore. We sneak them into his diet still! 

He loves to play basketball and whenever he slam dunks the ball, he always ends with saying "yeeeeaaaahhhh"! Daddy taught him that one! He loves cars, pushing his wagon around the backyard, throwing balls, jumping on the trampoline, and just being outside in general. He is starting to give us signs that he is ready to potty train. That will be coming up soon I'm sure! He doesn't try to climb out of his crib yet so we are keeping him in there as long as we can. We aren't ready for him to have that night time freedom just yet! 

He knows all his letters, numbers, colors, animals (and the sounds they make), and shapes. One of his favorite things to do on car rides is look at the cars driving by and say…"look, red car" (or whatever color car it is). If you ask him how old he is, he says "two" and holds up two fingers. He loves to dance and sing along to songs that he knows. Because of Sissy, his favorite songs right now all come from the Disney Frozen soundtrack. 

He is so much fun, so smart, so beautiful, and absolutely perfect!

January 2014

Family pictures were an adventure! Getting Carter to cooperate was nearly impossible. He just wanted to run around and play in the cotton!
 But we were lucky to get a few good ones! 
 Taking a nap on the giant bear! He loves this bear! 
 Playing at the mall playground
 Santa came and brought all kinds of goodies! 

 How we survive church with a 2 year old…lots and lots of toys!! 
 Playing outside and enjoying this amazing weather! Love AZ winters!

 Christmas shopping with this boy was impossible! He wanted everything he saw and when I put stuff in the cart, he didn't want to let it go! 
Always posing for the camera! Such a stud!
 Playing peek-a-boo through the puppet hole at the library! 
 He always sleeps in style! Like I said…he is always posing! 
 Love the way he sleeps! Such a cuddly sweet boy! 
 Carter in deep thought! Haha
 Handsome boy!! 
 This boy is hilarious! His facial expressions make us laugh on a daily basis! So much personality! 
 He cleans up nice! 
 Although his "chill" look is just as handsome! 
 Loved watching Christmas lights all over the valley! 
 His toes!!! He's so awesome! 
 Giving Santa "knuckles". He wasn't very fond of him at first but he finally warmed up to him. 
 He knows what's good! Digging into some amazing ice-cream with two spoons! 
 Being a silly boy! 
 Taking a ride around Home Depot with his buddy. His face is priceless…especially since he threw a massive tantrum right after I took this picture! 
 Giving Sissy a kiss goodbye. It's my favorite part of my morning when dropping her off to school. Their bond is so special! 
At 2 years old Carter is doing so much! He talks like crazy! Repeats everything he hears…which keeps up on our toes and makes us watch what we say! Haha! He loves to play outside, jump on the trampoline, push his wagon around, play on the swing set (especially the slide), play in the dirt. He loves movies! It's rare for a 2 year old boy to be able to sit through an entire movie, but this boy can! He loves cars, Toy Story figurines, teddy bears, balls, and anything he can push around. His favorite foods are yogurt, bananas, grapes, popcorn, mac and cheese, chicken, applesauce, and dried fruit. He is an excellent sleeper and loves to cuddle up with his teddy bear every night. He is so much fun and brings so much joy to our lives!

Summer 2013...continued

Summer has come and gone and we sure have been busy! And this sweet boy has grown so much and is continuing to learn to things everyday!
 He discovered his love for hummus! 
 He discovered his love for the pool! It took him a while to get used to swimming but after about a week, he LOVES it! 
 He has always loved looking at his reflection but he discovered he can see himself in the fridge and from that moment on, he would stop by the fridge often and check himself out!
 He was very excited about fireworks on the 4th of July. They were loud and bright and this was his face during most of the show. Haha!
 Loves the fish tank at the library! He calls them all "Nemo"!
 Loves playing in the shower. But apparently doesn't know what body parts to cover up when taking a picture naked! Ha
 Silly boy finds anything and turns it into a toy or a game. 
 Working on his fitness at the gym with Mom!
 He loves soda! Mom doesn't let him drink it very often but when she does, he is in heaven!
 He loves dogs! "Dog" has been one of his first words since he started talking. This was a little visit to the pet shop at the mall. 
 Looking so handsome in his bowtie!
 Being silly in the car! All of his faces keep us laughing!
 Yep....LOVES the pool! Especially in the nude!
 Taking care of his pearly whites!
 Cheese ball! 
 We can't get enough of this boy!
 A break in the weather so we went outside to play in the grass!
 He has discovered his love for climbing on tables. But once he is up there and can't figure out a way to climb down, he isn't very happy. 
 He absolutely LOVES his teddy! He has never been a blankie baby, but he has loved his teddy from day one!
 Loves car rides!
 Family beach vacation! He loves the sand!
 But he wasn't a fan of being buried in it! 
 Tough guy with sand on his face!
 Dressed in his Sunday best! So handsome!
 Playing with Mama!
 Playing with Daddy and Sissy!
 Another silly face of his! He is the best!
 One little monkey jumping on the bed! 
 He could look in the mirror all day! And why wouldn't he...he has the BEST reflection ever! 
He will be two in a couple months and he is continuing to learn and grow everyday. He is talking a lot and learning more words everyday. He is so smart and just so so perfect in every way!
