This, I could get used to

And by this, I mean this beautiful weather we have been enjoying. I fear that it is just toying with me, but I have to say that I wish it would just go ahead and decide to keep on getting warmer. When the weather is as lovely as it has been, we get to spend lots and lots of time outside, which makes me very happy. The only thing that makes it better is getting to spend that lots and lots of time outside with my two fellas.


Crawling through a tube


We decided to head to the park after Carter woke up from his (3.5 hour!) nap. We certainly weren't the only ones with that idea, but it was fun to watch Carter explore the playground equipment with lots of other kiddos around. He was a bit tentative, but I think that is because most of them were a fair bit older, moving rather swiftly, and he was trying to avoid getting run over!
Going to see Daddy...he was laughing and squealing...he loved that he could get to Nick!
Turning the wheel

Sliding down the "big kid" curvy slide. I was more scared for him than he was!

Posing with Mom...and not happy about it, I might add.

In other Carter news, he is talking up a storm! He will try to repeat just about anything that we say. Some words come out sounding pretty similar to what we said and others are relatively unintelligible, but he loves to try. While we were at the park today, he showed off his latest skill: helping us count to 10! If I started with 1, he would fill in all of the even numbers until we got to 10! Honestly, I am not sure if this is something he is learning at school (counting to 10, that is) or if it is from the counting books we have been reading, which he LOVES, by the way. Either way, we'll take it. It is so fun to watch our little sponge soak up everything around him!

Too cute! The weather has been wonderful, thank goodness! I love the counting story. EH, randomly skips nine. We had no clue she could count past 3 or 4 or where she learn it. Until we realized she only does it on steps, which she and daddy count at my parents house everytime they go up. Pretty neat how their minds work. Hope you are feeling good, are ya'll going to find out with this one?

Shades of his mother - talking all the time. Maybe one day HE will be a wordsmith.
Cannot wait to see you
Love,

Such a great time to be outside. We are so "re-y" to see y'all!

Love y'all!

Sue-Sue, Carter is so cute but please don't kid yourself on his counting...I am not at all surprised! After all, you are one of the smartest girls in town...of course you'd have a smart little guy (and handsome, too)! By the way, you look great...no baby belly do I see. I, on the other hand, still have one (14 weeks after the little one arrived)!
