Last night when I was feeding Carter, he would start laughing and peas would come out of his mouth. When he realized how fun this is, he starting blowing his lips so it would spray out! It was so funny, but we were trying not to laugh because we were telling him not to spit his food out!!
RJ mowed the lawn and there was a baby mole that had gotten away from her family. It was such a cute little mole! But we didn't stick it back in a hole because we thought we'd just be burying it (and we dont want it to grow up and start it's own mole family) but we just left it outside for some natural selection to take its course! Someone told me today to buy some juicy fruit gum and stick them in the mole holes and they will die! Moles you are going down! (but not the baby ones)

We had a great weekend! On Friday, Carter stayed the night with Uncle Dennis & Aunt Stella and had a great time :) He slept all night for them, and was just a happy baby! They had a hard time setting up the play pen, but Kim went over to help. It really is a pickle because it seems like it will break when you pull it hard, but it won't. We ended up going to the Quenemo Cemetery for Danny Sundae's memorial celebration (fancy way of saying getting wasted remembering the good times with him) After that, we went to visit Carmen for awhile and then went bowling in Lawrence! I got some strikes!! :) It was really fun and a nice relaxing evening. First time I've been drunk in awhile!
On Saturday we went to Sam's Club to get food, and bought Carter his very first swimsuit! Well, he has one but it was given to us by a friend and it's for the lake! It's Mickey Mouse and really cute! He has been saying ba ba da da now, it pretty much melts dad's heart.
We went to buy a lawnmower yesterday, but they didn't have the one we looked up online. We are wanting to get the yard all nice so it will be ready for Carter to play! I even thought about planting some flowers..! Our $30 garage sale lawnmower from last year is about 50lbs too heavy because the self propel on it broke, so going through the mole kingdom in our yard isn't the easiest. If anyone has an extra weed eater, feel free to donate it :) Our yard is kind of out of control.

almost crawling!
Carter has been a busy man, trying to crawl and all. He has been waving bye bye to not only mom and dad now! It's so cute :) He has been getting up on all fours and rocking!!We are pretty sure he is going to crawl soon!
He is 8 months old today :) On Uncle Ricky's bday! Happy Birthday Brother!!
We went on his first trip on Tuesday to Springfield, Mo because our uncle passed away. He was a good baby the whole time, and didn't fuss during the car rides or anything! He got to swim for the first time with grandma, mom and kla, and also got into a bath tub for the first time! ( we dont have one, we still use the infant/toddler tub) He really seemed to like swimming after he got used to it not being all nice and warm like his baths are! I was nervous because we were the farthest we've been from home but it was so nice hanging out and spending quality time with the family.
On Saturday at ten, we are going to a KU Research facility where a researcher is going to give carter toys to play with and pictures to look at and he'll be in a motion sensor room :) I think he'll have fun and of course they will love my cute little child! It's cool that he can be a participant in research when I work in the research field :)
I can't wait for this summer to buy Carter a little swimming pool, infant swing, and all sorts of fun stuff! We went garage saling last Saturday but not for long since it was a little chilly. I'm pretty sure they gave us a deal because of Carter's smiles :)
He is pretty much eating at the table with everyone else now (when we go out to eat) haha! We need a dining room! but anyways, carter has been eating big people food and loving every minute of it! Grandma gave him hard cheerios this weekend and he has such a good little pincher grasp! It may be because I had been giving him soggy ones the whole time lol. I didn't want him to choke! So now he is a finger food champ!!

la la love ya
What a good day today! We found out that RJ DOES have weekends off, starting on Monday. He will have to go 2 weeks with out a day off because his days off were Mon & Tues but it will be worth it in the end :) Besides, I'm sure he'll call in one day! haha. But our life is pretty sane right now, and it's so nice not to have to worry about 100 things at once. Plus, I've been tanning so that makes everything all better too! When RJ gets home from work @ 630 AM, Carter and I have not left for our day yet so they get to spend some time together when I'm getting everything ready. That also makes things 100 times easier! :)
Carter is just getting more and more active everyday! He has been clapping his hands, and rolling the ball back and forth with mom & dad! He waved hi to his daycare teacher, and they having been playing outside since the weather has been so nice. She said he just laughs/screams when they swing. This weekend might be a great weekend for the park! He has also been scooting around so much, and making different facial expressions!
We went to see his grandpa and finally brought the rocking horse back! We brought them roast for dinner, and pictures, and of course the baby boy! It was fun, and hope to see them more often! Now it's their turn though :)
Tuesday we went and bbqed at Josh & Miranda's and Carter played outside for so long in his excersauser and his playpen. He would watch every single car go by, it was cute! He was one tired boy, but had fun playing with David and Maraiah. They both are so good with Carter, and it's also like having two little helpers!
Next week is Miranda & Josh's wedding! Oh goodness, it's going to be a great week! RJ has the weekends off, and will have Thurs off too :) I will have Friday off and we might get Carter a little suit! But he will only be there for the wedding part, which hopefully will only last 10 minutes! haha. But then we could use it for all of the lovely ladies graduating in May! I guess I could get him a short-sleeved one. I measured him and he's about 29.5 inches long.
Oh, and today Google is named Topeka - makes my day!

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!
