Splish splash

Our family went to Papio Bay this evening. Carter had a good time in the kids pool, but I think he likes the "big kid" pool better.

I can sit . . . ALL BY MYSELF!

Carter J has learned to sit up all on his own. I can't believe it. For some reason it makes me think that he is so much more independant now. We are proud of our bubba.

Raspberries

If you listen carefully at the beginning of this video you can hear Carter's new skill, making raspberries. It is very cute, but hard to capture on film.

Splish Splash!

We got another pool for Carter. Dustin wanted one that would go on our new deck (which is awesome and huge!), so we got an old school hard plastic pool that is just Carter's size. He loves the water and had a great time splashing and playing.

Carter's big day out on the town

Our good friends, the Adams, came to visit us this weekend. We had such a wonderful time with them. On Saturday we had a big day on the town going to the zoo and the park with a splash pad.


Checking out the waterfalls in the rainforest. I think that was his favorite part.


Hanging out with Chloe.

All tuckered out at the aquarium.

What is that swan doing?!?

At the park, doing my favorite thing . . . trying to get sand in my mouth!

Down the slide with mommy :)

Hanging out with Valerie and Chloe at the park.

Let's get in the water dad!

Trying to shoot the other kids at the splash pad with the big water gun.

Teeth

They're coming in and pretty stinking cute. (You might click on the picture and make it bigger to really see them.)

Army crawl

He's mastered rolling both ways, he can turn in circles, and scoot with the best of them, but on Saturday he started army crawling. Time to buy a gate!

Clap with me!

Carter has always loved it when people clapped and watched very intently while any clapping was happening. On Friday his arms were swinging around as he was trying to clap, which was very cute, but no clapping occured. Yesterday afternoon he got it! He basically holds one hand in place and hits it with his other hand. We love it :)

A day (or five minutes) in my new pool

We bought Carter J a kiddie pool since he enjoys his bath so much. We finally got a combination of a warm enough day and the water was warm enough for us to get in. Carter mostly just sat there, but seemed to have a good time. Next Tuesday we start swim lessons, so stay posted for the big pool reactions.

Watch me grow!

On Tuesday Carter turned 7 months old! We can hardly believe it. He has changed so much and is quite the little man now. My god mother got me this bear so we could see how he grows and changes over his first year. I wanted to look at the changes, and I thought you would too. Enjoy :)
