My little man this morning @ daycare.

what a crazy week!

It really felt like vacation this week! Except for spending Wednesday in the ER.I have been working half days at work.  Ricky Jones is back to work, but he was so sick! I stayed home from work for 2 days because there's no way he could take care of Carter. But Misty saved our life and played with Carter all day Wednesday so we were able to go to the hospital, get RJ ivy-ed up, and I could go pick Carter back up in Ottawa! It was great seeing my mom and being able to chat with her and Misty. Carter didn't' take a nap all day at Misty's, he was having too much fun eating cookies and playing with Chase.

Carter started chewing on his toes on Tuesday! Daddy called me from work to tell me :)He also started to say da a little more. It's mostly just bababa babbling. It's so cute! We got him this new book with Old MacDonald animals as a hand puppet and he laughs when we quack and moo at him.

Thursday to get away from sick dad we took a long shopping trip to Maurices, Old Navy, JC Penney's and Walmart. Carter was good the whole time. He ended up falling asleep in the cart at Walmart. We got him all kinds of stuff for Easter. We got him a piggy bank, a KU outfit (I can't believe he is starting to wear 12 months) a daddy's allstar onesie, and a rubber duck for Easter. Of course we already put him in the KU outfit but it is March Madness! We got him some toys for his easter basket from grandma! We have to wait to give him those :)


Today RJ and Carter took a walk and played outside. I bet it would have been so cute to see RJ walking Carter in his stroller :) Of course by the time I come home, it is already getting cold and now it is sleeting!

happy bday hannah!

We got his picture day pictures back, and I can't wait to show everyone! I know, I should have scanned them at work but hopefully we will see everyone soon! On Sunday, it's Hannah's bday party and we're pretty excited to give Carter some icecream and cake! We are going to start feeding him real food since he has SIX teeth! And we got Hannah the cutest gift ever, a baby with lots of accessories since she loves to play with Carter so much.

He is so tall though, the same height as a little girl who came over that was 18 months! Can't wait to start playing some basketball!!


I thought I would update daily, but it is so great having Ricky Jones home at night! He leaves about the time I go to sleep, and we have time to spend as a family too :) He doesn't have the weekends off like we thought but he does have this weekend off!

Carter fingerpainted at daycare this week, and it's a jayhawk! I'm so jealous, I want to see him fingerpaint! We got him a Dr. Seuss book this week about teeth, and have already read it to him so many times! It's a melt your heart moment to see RJ read to Carter. Another great thing about having him home!!

Computer started not starting up and acting crazy. We re-formatted it. Since my brothers got me such an awesome harddrive for graduation (thankks!), it didn't cost anything and it saved all my pictures, desktop stuff, and everything! All I had to do was press F11! 

mr. snotty nose cutie pants.

Yesterday was daddy's first day of being home in the afternoon with us, and of course Carter sleeps the whole time. He hasn't been taking very good naps at daycare, so he usually passes out for the rest of the night. RJ is now working the grave yard shift (11-7) so he can sleep during the day and spend afternoons and weekends with us! It's so exciting! Then in a few months he will be able to go to morning shift - bc the new shift bid will be coming up!

Next week Carter has Spring Break off! It's like he really is in school :) I can't wait to play all mornings with him. I am only taking off in the mornings, because I really can't take more than that off work and keep up. Does anyone else have spring break off? We thought about taking him to one of our relatives for some of the days, since that will be RJ's sleeping time (again). It sucks because we can't plan anything - everything always changes!! Worse case scenerio, RJ has to wake up at noon and then I'll get home at 4.

Carter rolls over like a champ, and now he's getting to the point where he's on his knees and elbows instead of just laying there. It's so cute, I will come in in the morning and he'll be looking like he's going to crawl right out of bed! He still has a cough after a week, I'm not sure if I should go to the doctor or not. I think we are going to change his doctor to a pediatrician, just so we have a baby doctor.

We are going to look at a duplex tomorrow @ noon! We are already trying to put a deposit down for moving in August, since every dang college student and their mom will be finding a place too.

A lady from work just gave me a bunch of 12 month clothes, but I can't wait for garage sale season!

New Blog

I decided to make this blog because I don't necessarily want to update my facebook everytime Carter does something cool. Because let's face it, he does a lot of new cool stuff every day :) This is just for family and close friends so they can keep updated since we live out of town! This morning he woke up pretty early and he's teething. He's getting four new teeth on top, and won't sit still to let me photograph it. I don't blame him, I'm sure it's painful!

On Saturday morning, we went to Mass St to shop and he was good the whole time! At night we went to his first KU basketball game with Kristine & Ryan! It was a girl's game, so they had a good crowd but not too many people. He really liked it, and looked around everytime the crowd cheered and stuff! We brought his infant carrier and I think he likes just hanging out on mom! I was devasted I forgot my camera. I got a few pictures on my cell phone though!
