long weekend :)

This has been such a great couple of weeks! Last week, grandma came to visit, and we all went to Paisanos. Carter couldn't get enough breadsticks, fast enough. He has been teething so we weren't sure about the restaurant setting but he was as content as can be :)

On Friday, he stayed with Aunt Stella and Uncle Dennis while RJ and I partied in Eudora with friends. I was reluctant to leave him since he hadn't been feeling well, but as soon as he was eating smokemasters, he didn't care where I was :) They said he had a great time, and he even got to bring home a toy.

We went to grandpa and grandma Jones next, and they bought the grandbabies everything you could need at their house! Carter really liked the ball and the blocks! He figured out that he could rock a little on his highchair that is connected to a chair, but of course he didn't fall!

On Saturday, we also went and watched fireworks with the family! I just love hanging out with my mom and everyone! We left a piece of his walker at Kims though, anyone seen it????????

Fourth of July was a perfect day, rain and all! Carter and I went and visited a friend of my who has a 6 month old little girl, and we had so much fun! She tried to pull his hair, but he didn't mind! He was a typical boy and was more interested in the ball than her, but he did smile at her a lot :) I have a cute video of them checking each other out! When RJ woke up, we all went and ate at IHOP and bought fireworks! During the day, we shot some off and Carter would just stare in awe - even the loud ones! We dogded the rain in between naps, and even had time to watch a movie all the way through. (hasn't happened in i dont know how long). At night RJ set up the back of his blazer as a play pen! He left the tailgate up and the window tilted to block the rain! He put on a great show and Carter laughed and loved the pretty lights! He was all tuckered out, and even slept in on Monday! Monday was great as well, we just hung out as a family :)

Carter has been expressing his opinions more, it's really cute. Some parts cuter than others.  He now cries or throws a fit when he doesn't quite get his way. Not for long though, he usually is ready to move on to conquering something else!

Night night!
