The Modern Version of Peekaboo

Pay attention everyone. I'm only going to show you this once, so look, listen and learn. Here's the new hip way to play peekaboo. I'm going in slow motion so you can take it all in, but remember when you're really playing peekaboo you have to go fast.

Step One: Hide behind the curtain

Step Two - Four: Move the curtain to the side and shout "peekaboo"

Pity Me for I was Sick

Recently I was pretty sick. I had a lot of congestion in my chest and I was wheezing pretty badly so I had to start taking breathing treatments. Luckily I got to wear a pretty cool dinosaur mask. I'm feeling much better now so I don't have to take them as often as I was, but I am still taking one treatment at night for awhile.

Here I am attempting to play while I get my treatment.

It only looks like I'm smiling. I'm sick remember?

I'm adapting to wearing my mask and playing at the same time. I inherited my multi-tasking abilities from my Mommy.

I'm in my new house!

I don't really have very good pictures of my new house yet, but I do have a couple of me showing off my room.

Where's Carter?

Where's Carter you may ask? Well, he's busy reeking havoc in our new house. We moved last Wednesday, so you'll have to just wait to see new pictures of Carter until we're fully settled in and functioning again. We're hoping to get everything that's in the garage in the house and put away by this weekend so that we can start on moving the stuff from storage. At this time we don't have Internet at home, so that will add to the delay on new Carter pictures. It's not my fault! I can't help it that we're not in the postal system's database as a valid address and no one will give us cable/Internet until they think we are real.

Until then, just use your imagination and add a pound or two to how much he weighed last time you saw him and picture him walking and pushing Fudge's crate across the room instead of crawling everywhere.

Growing Up Carter

It's hard to believe just how fast Carter is growing up. It's crazy to think that's he's closer to being one year old than he is being a newborn. He's now officially a crawler. Yes, he can crawl forward now. He's made great strides in this department over the past couple of days. He's gone from crawling only in reverse, to crawling sideways and rolling wherever he wants to go, to now being a big boy and moving forward. He's got eight teeth (yep, I said eight!). He's finally got more hair now than when he was born and he's starting to act like a big boy.

Spring Has Sprung...Cuteness That Is

The weather is finally starting to be nice enough to let Carter venture around outdoors. Here are a few pictures from Carter's first real experience hanging out in the grass. I'm sure there will be many outdoor pictures to follow soon, but these will have to do for now.

Every rock star baby needs a sharp pair of shades. I guess since Carter's not a rock star (don't tell him that...he thinks banging on the table is the same as playing the drums), he's just have to look like a rock-star-wannabe.

Similar thoughtful pose. We definitely have a thinker on our hands.

Carter wondering if the grass tastes good.

Trying to find out for himself just how good it tastes. Too bad he's not that great on the hand-eye coordination thing yet.

He finally got it in his mouth.

Happy Easter

Carter enjoyed his first Easter. He didn't get his Easter basket until after church, but I don't think he minded waiting.

Carter's first peep. I think he liked squishing it between his fingers moreso than actually eating it.
