Hey everyone,
Sorry for the major slacking in the blogging department, I haven't had a ton of extra time to sit down and do this. We have been having a great summer with Carter. He absolutely loves the water and more importantly he loves the lake water! He is for sure a water baby, which is great since we have been spending most of our weekends at Crooked Lake. He doesn't like to just hang out in a floatie of course...he likes to lay on his belly and kick and splash with is legs and arms.
Carter is finally starting to get his two upper teeth to pop through, I feel so bad for him during this time. He is pretty much like clock work with naps and bedtime, but these teeth are really throwing things off...I guess we need to remember that it's only temporary.
He seems to be getting closer to walking, he is starting to try and stand up on his own, he likes to walk behind one of his push toys and he is pulling himself up on everything. He is starting to say his first word...which is..."mama," I love it! He looks right at me and mouths it a few times before he actually says it, it's so dang cute. I cannot belive his birthday is coming up, this year has flown by! I think I decided that our birthday theme is going to be Elmo, he seems to really like his Elmo doll, he is always hugging him and giving him kisses...so I figure we can't go wrong with Elmo.
Okay, enough for now...enjoy the pics.

We celebrated all the July birthday's in the family at Greg and Kara's house this past weekend. It was a great time hanging out with the family.
