A little preview...

I know that I will take a million pictures of the Halloween festivities this weekend, but I'm not sure when I will get around to blogging about it. Sooooo to tide you over, here is a little sneak peek of Carter in his costume! He came to work earlier this week for a mini photoshoot. I did get some stuff of him looking at the camera, don't worry!

The Fair!!!

I remember when the fair came to town last year and I was SO excited thinking about bringing my baby boy! We went on Friday night after work with some of our friends. It was chilly, but we bundled up. Carter didn't exactly love it, as it was past his bedtime, but he was a trooper and enjoyed the little tastes of fair food that we let him have!

This is C-man's reaction to the fair...not too sure!

So convenient that he can feed himself his bottle!

This rabbit weighed more than Carter. HUGE!! ...and gross.

Corbin enjoyed his share of fair food. Ask him how much he ate next time you see him!


If you look closely, you can see Uncle Micah (no relation) showing Carter the Merry-Go-Round. Micah loves him some Carter!

Me and Corbin and our precious boy!!

I'm already excited about going back next year!!!

Hilarious Teeth

No, my baby boy has not gotten any teeth yet. But, he has discovered some! A couple weeks ago he was playing with his Daddy and discovered these funny little white things in his mouth. Corbin would close his mouth and then open it and Carter would just crack up. So cute. Here is a little excerpt of it...



It is funny because he will try to pull your teeth out of your mouth like they are a toy and then will put his mouth up to yours as if he wants to chew on them (like he does everything else!)

Houston, We Have a Crawler...

Carter has been closer and closer to crawling these days. Last night at church, Corbin had him in the overflow room and he crawled to the other side of the room like a big boy! I couldn't wait to get him home to show Mama, so first thing this morning, I plopped baby boy on the floor and coaxed him to me to show off his new skills! Please excuse my high pitched excitedness! This girl is PROUD!



Is he not the sweetest thing on the planet?!? Love him!

If you can't tell, Carter got another haircut. This time he got LOTS of hair taken off and he doesn't look like a baby anymore. I was a little sad until I realized that I can now style his hair!! Little man sported a mohawk to church on Sunday and let me tell ya, it was a hit! I regret to inform you that I didn't get a good picture of his new look. This is the best I got...it doesn't do his cuteness justice.


We also started piano lessons a couple weeks ago. He's clearly got his Daddy's musical talents. He could stand and play at the keyboard all day. We are quite proud.


I've just realized that in every picture I've posted so far my child does not have any pants on. He does wear pants when we're out in public, I promise.

Portrait Time!

Carter got his 9 month portraits taken a couple weeks ago. These are my favorite so far. I know that I am bias, but seriously, I have the most adorable child EVER!

Enjoy!

More Carter, Less Megan

I realized that my last post was pretty much all words. Sorry about that. I know y'all don't come here to listen to me ramble on. So for your viewing pleasure - here is some Carter cuteness!

Monkey!

I actually have a good excuse why you haven't heard from me in a week. I've been sick and have barely been able to lift Carter, much less have the energy to post! But I'm feeling much better now and thought I'd catch y'all up!

I am convinced that we are going to be in for it when Carter starts to walk. He wants to climb on everything (and everyone). He isn't content to sit anymore and is always wanting to stand.

The other day he was playing with of us his toys (standing up next to it) and the proceeded to hurl his body over top of it, doing a flip. LUCKILY I was right there and was able to catch him before he hit the floor. The kid has no fear.

He's still getting the hang of crawling. I had a video that I was going to post of his attempts...but it's not working right now.

He'd much rather be walking with whoever is willing to hold his hands, though. Just the other day he was a walking machine and was exploring every inch of the house. Of course his most interest was in the electrical plugs. Guess it's time to start babyproofing!

We've had a great family weekend and have been hanging out around the house and running errands. We got little man's Halloween costume yesterday - it is soooo cute! We had to lower Carter's mattress on his crib since he has now discovered how to sit up and then pull up. I didn't want to risk him trying to see if he could fly, so down it went!

I will close with a funny picture (sorry it's been mostly words!). Carter was drinking his juice and using all four of his appendages to hold his sippie cup. Such a silly boy!!
