Exersaucer Time

This is me concentrating very hard on the pictures on my exersaucer. Look close and you'll see how intense I am focusing.

My very first time in my high chair!

Dad said that the high chair makes me look tiny. Ha I am a big boy!
Hanging out on Dads shoulders!

Another shot of the high chair!

Mom and Dad finally got out my high chair. It's so much fun. Mom said that since I am getting bigger we should all be together during dinner time. Mom and Dad have a silly habit of eating dinner at the coffee table. Mom says that is going to stop soon and we will eat as a family at the kitchen table. She says it will teach better eating habits. Since I am bigger now I get to sit with mom and dad while they eat. When I was little I was usually asleep during dinner time. We are now making a night time routine that is dinner, bath, book, bed. I like it and I am adjusting very well to it.

(Dad is very silly and makes loud noises. When he does this I make loud noises back. Mom tells Daddy that it is a bad habit, but they still think it's cute)

Mom and Dad hosted the "End of an Era" party for Mrs. Tiffany and Mr. Kyle. They are moving to Washington. Mom and Dad hope they get Washington as well (if Daddy isn't accepted into the officer program) Since Mom says I have family all over the West Coast. This was a fun evening. Mom said it was "Bitter Sweet." What ever that means.

This is Corwin. I met him once when I was just 6 weeks old. He's a big boy and very smart as well. He knows lots of the sign language that mom's gonna be teaching me as well. Corwin thought he would try out my exersaucer. Silly Corwin.

MY FIRST KISS! He He He. Leah is almost 2 years old. She's always so wonderful with me. Leah's mom Mrs. Cortenie said to Leah "Give Carter a kiss" and she planted a big wet one right on my lips! EWW GIRL SLOBBER!

Dad and I play all day long. Here is the proof that we are 2 peas in a pod. Mom said we are both giving the same look. She said to me "You are your fathers son" well duh Mom!

Here is a girl only picture from the going away party. Tiffany is in the teal greenish tank top onthe left above Mom. I miss her already.

Daddy and I hanging out! I have the best daddy EVER!

Yep that's right the scale says 16 pounds and 2 ounces! This was taken on September 20th. Can you believe it? Mommy says that the doctors want breast fed babies to double their birth weight by 6 months. Well I was born at 7 lbs 13 oz and have doubled that in less then 5 months. Mom tells me all day long that I am such a big boy! I guess what mom and her "breast" friends say is true THE BREAST IS BEST :).

This is me at breast feeding group haning out in my Bumbo chair while mommy ate some lunch.

We watched Mrs. Tiffany's doggie Lily last weekend and she was so fun to play with. She sure did like trying to lick my face. Lily was a very good doggie around me. I'll sure miss her a whole bunch now that Lily has moved away.

Could I be any cuter?

Mom and Dad took me out for a dinner with their friends, I was SOOO tired but kept my eyes open as long as I could so I wouldn't miss a second of the fun.

Mom and some of her friends (Mrs. Kelly, Mrs. Nichole, Mrs. Mecca, Mrs. Erin, Mrs. Leann and Mrs. Amber) had a PJ themed party at the salon where she gets her hair done by Mrs. LeAnn. Mom thought it would be funny to wear a blue MuMu with pink flamingos on it. Silly Mommy.

Daddy has had a great few months of work and he is home quite often. We went to breakfast the other morning and I was sitting on dads lap. Mom said we were making the same face. When she took this picture dad decided to smile a bit.

This is Mrs. Tiffany's husband Mr. Kyle. The time I saw him before this picture I was 1 month old. He's been away for almost 8 months. That's almost twice as long as I am old. WOW. He loves me and asks Mrs. Tiffany about me. They moved away today and I will really miss them!

Mrs. Amber came over with my buddy Miles one rainy day. We had fun playing together. I liked playing in my exersaucer with Miles cause he was able to stand up next to me while we played.

Pacifier time

I am a bit cranky here. When I get tired my pacifier is all I can think about. Some times when mom hands it to me I'll get it in my mouth all by my self. I still have a bit of trouble letting go of things I grab on to so it makes me upset when I pull my pacifier out. I'll learn it in time. Can you believe that next week I will be 5 months old?

Blowing Rasberries

Look close and watch my mouth. Listen carefully and you'll hear me blowing what mommie calls "Rasberries" it's a silly noise. Mommy says that I look like Papa 'D' making his "blow fish face." Mom says that Aunt Carli and her used to laugh hard when Papa D would make his face. I like when I can blow spit bubbles. We'll have to wait for another day to capture that video moment.

Here is Mom. She was getting ready for a "Tail gate" themed dinner party with some of the Ladies from the Breast Feeding group. She's silly.

Mom says that this is a FUNNY picture of me making "eyes" at my silly green froggie.

Here is Mom with Mrs. Helana, Mrs. Karrah and Mrs. Amber. Mom's jersey was for the player on the Steelers named Randel El. She thought it was funny since it sounds like Daddys name.

Daddy layed me in bed next to Mommy while she was sleeping. I thought she looked funny and was LAUGHING. So Mom asked Dad for the camera so she could record my early morning laughter. This video is a bit dark, but listen and you'll hear me laughing!

Mom was being so silly. She's taking this video thing over board don't you think? I was giggling really loud until I saw the camera again. Mom had to do a bit of coaxing to get me to giggle again.

Hanging out in the exersaucer.

This is me haning out on the couch. I can stand up leaning a bit on it for quite a while before I teater to one side. Mom and Dad were so giggly watching me do this. :)

This is me...these are my toes. I love my toes! ... Mom dosen't like my thumb in my mouth, but I LOVE chewing on it.

Mrs. Tiffany took this picture of me. Mommy LOVES it. Mommy always has her sunglasses on ... I am following in her foot steps.

See... this is how I can stand! It made me so very happy to see Mom and Dad oggle over my talents.

Boys will be boys... clock wise Logan, Ben (striped shirt), Miles and then myself haning out at play group. Thanks to Mrs. Jodi letting us borrow the "Bumbo" chair I can hang out with all my friends and don't just lay around all day. I love play group....Mommy does too.

Some times in the morning Mom lets me nap in bed with her before we get read for the day. Pinky thought he'd rest too. He is so very gentle with me. When I try and pet him Pinky knows that I am still learning.

Here is Mommy, Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Becky and Mrs. Erin. We all went to dinner with Mrs. Tiffany because she will be moving to Washington soon, Mom says that our "Navy Life" will be full of goodbyes. I will be sad to see Mrs. Tiffany leave and I know mommy is very sad too. Mrs. Tiffany saw me and Mommy in the hospital right after I was born. She's very special to me!

This is Haydens Daddy, with Hayden, Me and Mommy at our Daddy's Prototype Graduation. Hayden and I had on the same outfit. Hayden has already moved. It made me sad to know that Hayden is now gone.

This is me with Kylee. Was not in a good mood as you can tell. We went to lunch with some friends and met some new people as well.

My Daddy graduated Prototype. I am so proud of him! Mommy was so happy that I got a picture with Daddy in his uniform.

Mom and Dad took me to Mrs. Erin's Jimmy Buffett themed Bar B Que. We had so much fun. These are some of the ladies that were there with Mom.

Daddy went inside to feed me a breast milk bottle. I decided that I was pretty hungry and I wanted to hold it myself. Daddy and Mommy were so excited to see me holding the bottle on my own. They can't believe how smart I am...but would you expect any different?

Here is my Dad. He went on the slip-n-slide. I thought it was a kids toy only! It was not slippery enough for the Adults so they put dish soap on the slip-n-slide. It was very funny.

Here I am taking a break and testing out the seats in Mr. Kevin's new Jeep.

Mrs. Erin bought grass skirts for her doggies to wear at the Bar B Que. After the dogs were done wearing them Mommy and Mrs. Tiffany thought I should wear it. I liked pulling on the grass but didn't like how it tickled my legs at all.

This is me sleeping in my crib. Mommy now puts me to sleep in it when I am awake and I slowly fall asleep. The other night mommy came in to check on me and I was holding my doggie "lovey." Mommy said she cried when She saw me holding it. I don't know why. Mommy always cries over silly things.

Mommy and Daddy were taking us to meet my friend Miles and his mommy and daddy at a resturant eat some sushi. Daddy and Miles' Daddy LOVE sushi.

I go to an Infant Massage class on Tuesdays. This is me haning out in my car seat / stroller in just my diaper before class started. My friend Alexander goes too we both love it when our Mommies give us massages with Mrs. Jodi (the instructor and one of Mommies breast feading friends.)

This is Mrs. Amber, Mommy, Mrs. Karrah, Mrs. Melissa and Mrs. Helana. They started a dinner party group. So once a week Mommy and her friends meet up for dinner at some ones house. I love it cause I get Daddy all to myself. This dinner night was at Mrs. Karrah's house and it was a "Slumber Party" theme. They made pizzas, and watched the movie Grease. Mommy had never watched it before and her friends thought it was funny. She came home singing "Grease Lightening!"

Here I am haning out in a big boy high chair at Applebee's. Mommy and Daddy love how I sit up so well. Mrs. Angie and Mr. Mike were there with Mom and Dad and said I was such a cute baby, I won't disagree with that!
