Scoop it!!!

Lately we have really been working with Carter on eating with utencils. He pretty much has the fork concept down(we call that Poke it). He just stabs at the plate of food until he finally gets something. But Scooping is much harder. He usually just gives up and eats with his fingers or we help him scoop and had it to him, but it sometimes ends up in his lap and not his mouth. We make big messes around here. LOL Oh well. That's what its all about right!!! I guess one day he will get it down. But in the mean time, here he is intently trying to scoop his favorite Mac and Cheese(just like his mom)!!! and when he gets a bite he says "Ummmm.." ADORABLE!

SNOW DAY!!!!

So last night we got b/w 3-5 inches of snow. The last time it snowed like this is when Carter was in the NICU after he was born. I was soooo excited to get him out and play in the snow this morning. We got all bundled up. In-fact he had on 2 pairs of socks, braces and shoes, 2 pairs of pants, 2 shirts, and a coat and hat. I thought he would love it... Ha, should have known. He HATES snow, lol. I am so glad we don't live up north!! Unlike most kids that can walk around and don't really have to touch it. Anytime he sits down it is cold and wet and he can't stand to have it on his fingers! So I got out his little four-wheeler. He like sitting on that much better, but could still care less about the snow, lol. I snapped some adorable pics of him anyways. The first one on the collage was how it started, had to include that one.

He has been so funny this morning. He is just talking up a storm. We have been doing a lot of standing and practicing walking in his walker. When he wants to walk he will even tell me now. Sounds more like "ALK". I can't wait until we finally get in with our new PT. It has been a long wait, and I am anxious to start! He was also supposed to start at his school today, but due to the snow, it is obviously canceled!! Oh well, I guess we will start Wed. Wish us luck!!

On and if anyone didn't notice this is my third blog post today!! Yay! I am trying to not be on FB and my Photo boards anymore. It was time for a much needed break. I also am only going to be on my computer when C is asleep. So this has been a productive nap!! Wish me luck. Want to spend more quality time with my boys. This computer can suck you in, lol. I also want to take LOTS of candid pics of Carter to cherish forever!! I want to be able to look back and remember every moment with him!!
Enough Rambling, here are pics from today!! LOVE!

Fun Day Sunday!!! and LOTS of Pics!!

Yesterday was a blast! We woke up early in the morning and we all laid in bed as Carter watched 1 episode of Mickey. (We have now limited to 2 episodes a day). Then Webb got up and went to Shnucks to get stuff to make breakfast. Afterward we went to the mall to get a few things and to let Carter ride the Carousel. He LOVED it. It was adorable. Every time we would pass Webb he would wave, point and yell daddy. Then after we passed him he would laugh and clap. Then we went to visit Meme and Poppy for a littly while until Carter laid his head on the floor and said "Night, Night" and let us know he was ready for a nap(I still can't believe he is now telling us when he wants to go to sleep!!). So then we came home, he napped while Webb and I hung out. Then last night Carter and I went to eat with Nana, Pops, and Allyson. Yay! Wonderful day spent with Wonderful Family!! <3

Here is he playing with his Mickey Figurine, lol.




and LOTS of Carousel Pics!!

Waving to Daddy!

Only a little cough lingering around, but his personality is BACK!! Yay!! Here he is the same day playing in his PJ's and making funny faces. I love this kid!!!

Lazy Days.....

Look at those EYES!!!So the last couple of week we have had LOTS of Lazy Days and LOTS of Mickey Watching. On New Years Eve I woke up right at Midnight and watched Carter in his Crib. It looked as though he couldn't get comfortable. He had been running fever earlier in the day and had Tylenol before bed. So when I decided to go in a check him again. When I picked him up he felt as though he was on Fire. He was running 104.6. A quick call to the Neurosurgeon and we were off to the ER. So after a couple of hours of waiting on the ER doc(who happened to be the same one we saw a couple of weeks ago), she came in and asked, "So has he finished his round of antibiotics for his UTI?" UM NOOOOOOOOO. we were never told that he had a UTI. If you know how it goes- anytime a culture is drawn, whether it be blood, urine or shunt cultures, it takes 48 hours for the results to come back and if they come back negative they don't call you, but if they come back positive they call you with a recommendation of what to do next and also call your primary physician. Well NONE of this took place. So he had a raging UTI for 2 weeks!!! Can you say we were LIVID!! So that morning she wrote us a prescription for some very expensive antibiotic.

Well 2 days later he started getting red whelps. They first started under his arms and down his side and on the back of his neck. By the next morning, despite being given lots of Benedryl. The next morning he woke up with them all over his body. So Webb took him to the pediatrician. He was having an allergic reaction to that $800 antibiotic. So he prescribed him some amoxicillin and steroids. He is doing much better with that, but now has developed a nasty sinus infection. This has GOT to end soon. I need my Sweet happy baby back!!!
All he has wanted to do the last couple of days is want to be held and watch Mickey. Poor Buddy!

On a positive not I got my New lens yesterday!!!! I LOVE it. I needed something wider for indoors to be able to capture my little guy and how much fun he is getting lately. I LOVE that during the day I don't have to use my SL!! and I will start to take LOTS more pics indoor on what we do on a day to day basis!! This is really what matters the most anyways!! I want to capture every piece of him!! He is growing too fast!! Here are a few pics of me trying out my new lens on our Lazy day today. And these are not edited!! WOOHOO!!!

Look at his love for Mickey!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!!!

So Carter was not very fond of Santa this year, but who could blame him!! LOL I laugh everytime that I look at this picture!!

We had a very exciting Christmas. LOTS of pics below. I had to work on Christmas eve this year so we did Christmas with Webb's Family on the 23rd. We had so much fun. It is so fun watching the kids together. The just LOVE eachother. And all the presents were a big hit!! Here are a few of them opening their gifts.


And it is pretty much impossible to get 3 kids under three to sit still and smile for the camera. I took about 20 and these are the best we got, lol. LOVE them though and so do their Meme and Poppy!


This is our little angel sleeping the night that Santa came!! I LOVE these pics of my sleeping boy!!He just melts my heart!! There is nothing sweeter than this right here! Altough it is very hard to take pics in the pitch black!


Santa working HARD!!!

Carter in his new Chair from his Nana and Pops! We LOVE it!! and so does Carter!!!
