Fun Stuff to Share

A few random, but fun, things to share...

1) Every morning when we get Carter up, he is so giggly! Jason usually gets him ready in the morning since I take him to Grammy's for daycare. As they are going into the kitchen to get Carter's breakfast, they go through the same routine every single morning; it's so cute. Jason takes Carter down the hallway and stops at the big clock in our entryway. He talks to Carter about the clock, saying, "Tick, tock, tick, tock." Carter watches the pendulum intently. From the clock, they come into the kitchen where Macey is already waiting next to the highchair for any food that may fall to the ground. Jason says, "Look! There's Macey! Macey....Can you say 'Macey'?" Carter thinks that's funny and giggles at Macey. Then they come over to where I am making coffee, and Jason says, "Momma....Momma." Carter leans toward me and it seems like he's reaching for a hug. I tell him that I missed him while he was sleeping, and I give him a big kiss. We do this same thing every day.

On Sunday when we got Carter up, I was the one bringing him into the kitchen for his breakfast. When we looked at Macey and I said, "Look! There's Macey! Macey....Can you say 'Macey'?" Carter giggled of course. While he was eating his breakfast, he looked over at Macey, who was now sitting next to him at the booth. He said, "Dacey!" as plain as day! It was really cute!

2) Carter started eating some 3rd foods yesterday. We tried the chicken and stars with real noodles in it shaped like stars. The stars are small, so I'm pretty sure his two teeth can handle them. But he does have to chew them. He didn't like it yesterday at all! When we tried again today, he did really well. He was opening his mouth really wide for more and more. He was chewing the noodles up and showing no problems at all. I can't believe how fast he's growing!

3) I bought Carter a little shirt at Meijer today that reads "Birthday Boy". It's hard to imagine that we'll be celebrating his first birthday soon. There was a matching bib to go with it, so I got it too. (I went ahead and picked these up, because you never know how long things will be there!)
--They also had "Birthday Girl" shirts and bibs for all of my friends who have little girls!--

4) Finally, we had a monumental day at Grammy and Grandy's house today. Grandy changed a POOPY DIAPER of Carter's!!! Grammy says this is the first one ever! We just had to document it. So funny!!
