9 months

Hi everyone, check me out standing on my own. I'm 9 months old now and went for my checkup. I weigh 22 lbs and I'm 29 1/2 inches long. I'm 75% for weight and 85% for height. That's right....I'm getting long and lean!

 How many more times do we have to do this mom????

 You're making me blush!

 Here's what my teacher Ms. Deb says is my 'centerfold' pose, I'm a stud...what can I say!

 I'm also rolling/scooting everywhere. Who knew how fun it was under the table

Check out some of my new moves

I celebrated my first St. Patrick's day. The big kids at school made leprechan traps, I can't wait until I get big enough to do that!

 I LOVE instruments, here I am playing with one of my favorites

 I'm trying to get the hang of this dog walking thing

 its tough!!!

 oh Spring.....when are  you coming????

My Nana and Papaw sent some presents, did they know how cool this box was???

 I really should have asked for one of these sooner, its GREAT!

until next time!

My first Swim Class

Look out Michael Phelps, here comes Carter! I started my Aqua Tots class today with my buddy Noah, boy was it fun.

 Could somebody get me a drink and some graham crackers please!

 I'm trying to get the hang of this blowing bubbles

here I am in action

8 Months Old

Hi everybody... I just turned 8 months on the 14th, can you believe it. I thought I would update you on some things I'm doing these days. First of all, I have a tooth! It came in on the bottom about 2 weeks ago. I weigh about 22 pounds now (I'm a solid boy) I'm rolling all over the place the days. I'm starting to eat more foods and I'm getting really good at picking up cherrios and puffs.

Here I am being silly

Last weekend it warmed up enough for me to get outside and deliver some Valentines, I'm a real ladies man you know!

who can resist a cute cuddly little bear with a face like this???

this past weekend was my dad's bday, we had some Chicago style pizza for lunch (I wish they would give me just one bite...is that asking too much)

I got to cruise around the block but it was still a little too cold for me. I love walking with my puppy though, he is sooo funny

Come on Spring!

Here I am right before bath time

Art Projects

I thought you guys might like to see some of the things I do at school. Here I am finger painting, it was AWESOME!

What a masterpiece! 

 Here I am playing with Oatmeal, the teachers like us to feel different textures to explore

                                                        Oh boy.....cool whip!

                                                          I LOVE THIS STUFF!

                              I think I made the biggest mess but it sure was fun!

 My Aunt Kelly got me a sippy cup from Buccees, I love it "this much"

                               I went with Daddy to Gander Mountain, how do I look?

                                                           I love bath time

Now that its soooo cold I have to bundle up for school, aren't I the cutest lil bear you've ever seen!

 The other morning I was watching tv while Mommy got ready for work and I decided to put Hunter to work......as my foot stool :)

I love Hunter, he always makes me laugh

Blizzard 2011

well as many of you are aware, the country is getting a huge storm and we here in Chicago had a blizzard last night. When we woke up this morning this is what our patio looked like.

 then we headed downstairs and opened the garage....close it, close it quick and it will all go away

 Hunter thought all this fresh snow looked like fun and when he quickly sank, he realized he wanted out of that mess!

 this is a picture from the front of our driveway

 Clint decided he should start doing some shovelling, problem was....there was sooo much snow and nowhere to put it!

 I guess he decided a 'snow tunnel' might me a good way out

Um yeah......are you crazy....I'm not walking in that

 Not sure how we are going to get out, do you think Dominoes will deliver?

 Alright, lets do this snow thing!

 Whoa....no one told me about the blowing snow

 Dad...I think I want to go back inside NOW!!!

 I hope the fire trucks don't need the hydrant

 Clint made a path so we could at least get to the street

 Wow...this snow shovelling is TOUGH work!

 One of our neighbors made this cute little guy

then the boredom of a Snow Day sets in
Hunter: 'seriously buddy...be quiet so I can take a nap'
Carter: 'OMG...I never knew about these things called magazines...they are great'
