Mpls part tres

Finally part three of Mpls. Monday Carter and I went to visit some of my friends from college. Jamie and her son Brady, 8 months, Sarah and her daughter #2 Olivia, 2 months, and Becky. We sat around catching up and loving on babies! It was so fun to get together and it really made me want to move back ASAP. Brady has some wild hair and such a cute smile - he even looks at the camera and smiles. And somehow, as we were taking the picture below, he knew which camera to look at! So cute! We woke Olivia up for the picture but she wasn't too into these boys.. but watch out that girly is a cutie!

Carter, 4 months, Brady, 8 months and Olivia, 2 months. Aren't they cute?! Joe loves this picture and how they have their arms around each other. So cute!

We spent most of the week getting in some quality time with Nana and Papa. Swimming, going for walks, sitting in the back yard or on the swing, lazing in the hammock, etc. Carter was loved on like crazy :)

Carter says: "geesh, not that big black thing again"

he loves to show off his belly

relaxing - he loved the hammock


Nana, Papa, Max and Carter

Later in the week we headed out to Edina to meet up with Carter's first girlfriend, Pen. Aren't they cute?

We also went to hang out with Stephany and Luca. Luca is 2.5 and totally blew me away! He is talking. Talking, talking. Like conversation talking. I have never met a 2.5 year old who talks like that. It was crazy!

All in all we had an amazing time at home. It made me want to move back like crazy!!! We also need to send a big thank you and baby giggles out to Nana and Papa who made our trip soooo much easier. We really appreciate all the baby stuff you got in preparation for our arrival. It made is so much easier to pack knowing we had the essentials in MN already. We didn't have to "make do" at all :) And that is hereditary!
