Been awhile

My little Carter had her 18 month check up when she was 19 months old. She weighed in at 23 pounds 7.8 ounces and 31.25 inches tall. She is consistently in the 25th to 50th percentile. She had to get shots this time and they have made her legs bruised. The left leg has a golf ball sized knot on it that is very sore to the touch. This is the first time this has happened with her shots....good thing though there is not another shot till age 4. I hope all is well with you all!

Dying Easter eggs this April!

Being Sick

It stinks being sick with a 16 month old. Granted she is the one who gave it to me but she is better. I missed putting her to sleep for the first time since November. Cannot wait to feel better so I can hug and love on my girl!

Christmas

I cannot believe it is 10 days away! Playing Santa has been a blast and I cannot wait for Christmas morning. Carter seems to know what to do with presents now as she successfully opened one last night.....

My sister, Meg, and I took Carter to get her Christmas photos done the long weekend of Thanksgiving. They turned out really cute. However, I really did not think we were going to get a photo this year. She would not sit next to the Christmas tree and fretted when an employee put his hand in the Santa costume to hold out her cookies. Well, as we come to find out, Carter wanted to sit in the chair and play with the cookies herself and when Meg and I realized that....that is when we got the great photos!

The attached picture is from her playing outside the studio...I unfortunately did not buy the cd from the place, just a picture package!

Carter is one!

Well September 27 has come (passed) and my little girl turned one! We celebrated with family and friends. She got lots if loving from both sides of the family. She loves her red wagon meme and poppy got her!

A crawler and a clapper!!

Both of these happened so fast....I have been clapping for Carter for awhile now and she would copy but it was always up and down arm movement....Saturday however.....we CLAPPED when I said "YEAHHHH!!).....she had the biggest smile on her face and was very, very proud of herself!

For about 4 weeks now, Carter has been pushing up to sitting from her tummy and every day since then we have been saying she will crawl tomorrow...we waited and waited and she FINALLY crawled on Monday!! Lordy she is so cute....she gets her hind legs going like a warm up and off she goes...and let me tell you..she has one speed and it is fast! Smiling the whole way...then she sits down and claps...

Love that little lady!

Mother's Day weekend!

Had an absolutely wonderful weekend....Trey got home early Friday...so early in fact that Carter and I were hiding upstairs trying to be quiet untill he spoke to confirm it was him.

Saturday started early with a little bit wanting to be snuggled and played with. She will just play in her crib until someone comes in a picks her up...no screaming or crying..just baby sounds of delight..melts my heart to wake up to that! Saturday that was around 5AM!

Later Saturday morning I did the Beach Blast 2011 5k race. I was very nervous about running in front of the "home" crowd. Everyone in town remembers my love of running and usually placing and I did not want to disappoint. I did not...I got a personal record (since high school) of 22:14 seconds. 5th women overall and 1st in my age group, but man there are some fast females out there! The best part of the day was having Trey and Carter at the finish line cheering!

Sunday was another 5 AM start with Carter wanting snuggles and hugs. Worn out from the previous day, I laid back down for a bit and woke up to Carter and Trey cooking pancakes. We walked and played all day...Best Mother's Day yet...

HAPPY MOTHER'S Day everyone!
