Bribes

They work wonders!

If You Give The Baby Food...

then he's going to need a bath! Carter is the messiest eater I have ever seen. When he is finished, he is covered in food and so the whole kitchen. I think maybe he does this on purpose so he can have bath time :) I don't mind though... I get to see the cutest little bum ever!

Hair

I am the person who never has a good haircut. I don't think I have ever gotten a haircut that I go home feeling good with. I chopped 8 inches off in November because my hair was absolutely FRIED from perming it. I like it long but I feel like I did the same thing everyday...either straight or in a pony tail. Anyway, my hair is too long right now to look good with my hair cut (an a-line) but I don't want to go cut it all off again if I am going to grow it back out. Half up is pretty much the only way I can wear it now without it looking dumb. What should I do?!

We Are Moving!

Our lease is up and we are moving! We were going to sign a lease for 6 more months but once we saw these apartments (same owners) we wanted out of our townhome asap. It's not very much more a month and it's got more space. Plus, no more running toilets, leaky dishwasher, and stairs! This place was great to us and got us in right away on the bottom floor. We didn't realize we had to give a 60 day notice but they hooked us up since the bottom floor goes fast. Of course we wish we could say we were moving into our OWN home but for now, we are excited for this new apartment. Hopefully the next time we move, we will be able to say that we bought our first house :) 12 more days and we are OUTTA HERE!

Walking

Carter is nearly 19 months old and is still not fully walking. He can take a few steps but then falls to his knees to crawl. He does great holding on to a finger, furniture, or if he has something to push but otherwise, not so much. We can't figure out if he is just being lazy or if he is having balance issues. Some days he will do well doing lots of steps and some days he won't even take ONE step.

His feet are pretty small for his age so think maybe that has something to do with that. When we go in for his 18 month old check up in a few weeks, hopefully we can get this figured out. I never thought I would have such a late walker! At least we know that he CAN do it. These pictures were takin a few days after Christmas.

I was trying to get a good photo of Carter's new outfit from his cousins in Montana. At first

Carter would NOT hold still and I figured there would be a ton of pictures on my camera to delete but I think they are fun. They show how he is doing as of now. After a few minutes, I did get a picture of Carter STANDING on his own, being still, holding onto my hairclip :)

Everyday, we can't get over how cute this kid is. Can you?

Sickies

If you are wondering why I have not blogged since Christmas, it's because we have been battling a nasty virus and are just now getting back to normal. Carter got hit the worst and we ended up taking him to the doctor the other day. He had a temperature of almost 102 and the start of infections in his ears. After two days of antibodics, he is almost completely back to his normal self-thank goodness!! We are more than READY for summer!!!
