Almost One!!!!!

Carter will be one in 4 days and I can't believe how fast the year has gone, it seems like we was just 5 pounds and swimming in his clothes and snuggling at every chance! He is growing into a joyful curious little boy with 6 going on 7 teeth, lots of hair, a chin dimple, major personality and a yes he still loves to be cuddled unless there is something more interesting on the floor, wall, in the air... I feel so blessed to be his mom and to have an amazing husband who loves being a dad and hanging with Carter and I, he gets up at 3 and rocks him back to sleep, he changes diapers, and loves napping with him snuggled on his chest, it's so fun to watch... I am so lucky!

I recently found a new carrying apparatus for Carter...
look closely and you'll see where he is!
He wants to see outside so so bad so he attempts to climb
the window...yet another gifted skill!
I know he'll be walking sooner than I think!
Jordan was back from Afganistan so we did
the BBQ, catch up tell old stories thing!
He loved meeting Carter and holding him!
He enjoyed being the life of the party!
We saw old friends- Melissa Jones!
Carter is also helping me clean the house these days!
What a guy!

New fun game, unloading the fridge for mom!
Matching boys in plaid shorts &
red shorts I swear I didn't plan it!
Carter's new trick walking around with a toy
or object in his mouth! Gifted right?

We managed to get Nick's Great Grandma who is 100
out for a photo- 5 generations!

The picture was fun but not as fun as petting
this stuffed dog!!We went to Billings so Grandpa Hal could meet him!
Here are the Edwards boys!
He is now eating and dropping his food over the side
for Molly, yep he's gifted, sharing at the age of 11 months!
We were so wanting a swim but feet in
the water was the best we could do!
He wanted a picture with the bride- one of my
friends from elementary Kayla, doesn't she look beautiful!
It was an amazing day for a wedding!
Crawiling downhill is so much fun Mom!!
Carter loves weddings!! When this summer is over he'll have hit
5 of them, he is destined to like music and dancing!
This was one of my favorite parts of camping,
Carter having a silly face contest with anyone watching!
Yep, Molly kicked Carter and his pack-n-play out of her tent!
IT was so beautiful!!!


Riding on Daddy's back is so much fun!!!

Until you fall asleep....

Summer fun

We went Strawberry picking a few weeks ago
and Carter had so much fun...

We may have stained the shirt
but it was so worth it! I mean look at that
drool, he was enjoying those berries!

Most of his were this same green color
but he wanted to pick them HimSelf!

It was usually like this, a little straw
and if he aimed it right a little berry.

Then he spotted the basket...

and of course had to try a few of the red
ones also!

Later we went swimming with Alex
and her son Skylar... Carter forgot his suit...
whoops!

Then we went to Brandon and Becca's
and Carter had a blast riding on Aunt
Becca's shoulders...

and throwing the toy for Codie.

We went to Janae and Noah's wedding
and it was Beautiful! (And Alot of Fun!)

Here is Carter up WAY past his bedtime... but he
kept fighting it so he could do some more dancing!

Then it was Carter's dream come true he
got to ride a dog... and a huge one too!

More like a bear if you ask me, but
that's Carter quite the adventurer!

... up next camping shots and belated 4th of July photos!

TEXAS

Ok so I know we went to Texas a month ago, but I've been

on summer vacation with my postings I guess and these pictures are too good to not post!
Carter became this crazy active little boy while we were in Texas...
he was army crawling before we left, and when we got home he was regular speed crawling. He began pulling himself up on everything while we were there, he his first 4 teeth and began eating
lots of new food! It was so fun to see my grandparents and my aunt and uncle... and Carter had a blast playing and swimming, sightseeing and swimming, laughing and swimming!

Family in the pool, you may see this one in December

We found this sweet turtle in the mall!

No this isn't a picture of me. but that may be my playpen
Carter was showing off his new skill!

Carter & Great Grandpa!

Me, Mom, Carter, Grandma & even the dog

Gma and Gpa

So proud!

This is on the airplane just before his nap
he was so good considering he was getting
4 teeth starting two days before we left.

The JFK museum is so fun, right Carter?

Downtown Ft. Worth waiting for the bulls to come
down the street... Only in Texas!

Finally a dog I can touch!

Now for another drink of this water.. it's so good!

Spiked with sunscreen!

Happy Fathers Day Dad!
