I have an idea of why it has gone so fast. I have a really active little guy running around every day! We've been busy this week too. Until poor Cartboo came down with a cold. Last night he was whimpering/fussing on and off all night (so sad to listen to) and this morning he woke up with a full blown cold. We had lots of fun Monday through Wednesday though. Here are some phone pics of our week thus far.
We went to open gym at the gymnastic place right by our house. Carter loves this place! So many places to run, things to jump on - watching him jump on the trampoline is so funny! I need to bring the video camera next time we go. There are big foam pits to jump in - he finally got the courage to "jump" in on his own this past time. But by "jump" I mean ease himself in. No danger baby is that! He treats little balance beams like baby hurdles - he runs up to one, climbs over it, runs up to the next, climbs over, repeat repeat repeat. They have about 12 balance beams all lined up and Carter runs and climbs over all of them. So funny.
These older kids were building a fort. Carter was intrigued! Then he stole one of their roof decorations! But the big kids were so good with him and weren't upset a little baby was taking apart their fort.
Carter also got his 2nd haircut this week. He was way overdue. The place we went to was a kids place and had lots of fun stuff to look at and the little chairs were so dang cute! He also got a prize at the end - a little rubber ducky.
Notice Carter's new sandals in the pictures? Turns out the reason why I had such a hard time finding him some sandals that fit him properly is because he has wide and chunky feet :) I finally took him to stride rite to get him professionally measured and we forked out a chunk of change on these new, wide, sandals with totally adjustable straps on top. I'm amazed how much they charge for little baby sandals. Oh well they fit him great and he's comfy in them so it's worth it.
We also went to Barnes & Noble. This is one of our new favorite places. This time Carter made a little friend. He was sharing his trains with this little guy. Carter would run up to this little guy, squat down, look him in the face and then they'd sit and smile at each other. It was cute. Then Carter started showing off his climbing skills to his new buddy.
Danger baby was in full force the other morning. Carter was next to me and I turned around to get his sandals out of the closet and the next thing I know he's climbed up the computer desk chair and is on top of the computer desk!
Carter loves to play in bed in the morning. We have this little ledge around our bed that he stands on. Then he'll dangle with his upper body on the bed and his legs just hanging there. Goofy kid.
Carter's attachment to bee (his blankie) is so cute. Only now that he likes to drag it around the house and bring it in the car I find myself washing them non stop. Thankfully we have two! God forbid we ever loose a bee!
Last night I was seriously craving a white cherry slushy from the gas station. But being a "single" mom during the week doesn't give me the luxury of being able to run out and get whatever I want when I want. Which isn't an issue most of the time, but man last night I was cursing Joe for being so dang far away when I really wanted a slushy! Hello pregnant much? I haven't craved anything really, except for this dang slushy.
Last night wasn't a good night for Carter either. After I put him to bed and he fell asleep I heard him fussing and whimpering right after he fell asleep. This is not normal for Carter at all. He usually falls asleep really quickly and doesn't make a peep until morning. So when it's 7:30 and I hear him fussing I knew it might be a long night. Poor guy fussed on and off all night long. About once and hour I'd hear him fussing. I don't think he slept much at all. Mama didn't sleep much either because I swear I have super sonic hearing when it comes to Carter. He makes the littlest peep and I'm awake. Anyway, he woke up with a full blown cold this morning. Stuffy, runny, snotty nose. Poor guy. We took it easy today and snuggled a ton and ran to Target to pick up some stuff and more juice. Turns out Target sells icees! Not quite the gas station slushy I had been craving but close enough. Turns out Carter likes slushies too! I gave him a little sip right after we got it and he did this tentative little taste and then was signing for more. So cute!
look at his little red icee lips!
Right now we're working on "milk" and "yes". He signed "milk" today for the first time, but I'm not sure he gets "yes" yet.
On a more mushy end note I have to say that I am the luckiest mama and wife in the world. My little guy has changed my life in the most amazing way and I have a husband who is so supportive and busts his butt for our family. Can't argue with any of that!
