-Carter at 23 Months-

I can't believe I almost have a 2 year old! He is such a blessing that is growing up way to fast!
Carter is getting to be Mr. Funny! He loves people to laugh at him and loves to laugh! He loves his Mom and Dad and both his sisters! He knows Hadlee which is so precious to me! He is always giving us loves, kisses and saying love ya! Even though his sisters aren't here to physically receive them he doesn't forget them!
He LOVES letters... in fact he is obsessed with them! He knows them all even though he does have a hard time daying about 4 of them! Everywhere we go he is pointing out letters to us!  He knows his numbers 1-9 by recognition! But we still aren't talking much at all! He loves books! He loves everyone to cheer with him and still loves to watch shows and play on the iPad! He still takes good naps and sleeps great at night!
He loves treats... especially Oreo cookies! He is a good eater and really isn't too picky about what we give him... and he will always try it before he decides if he really doesn't want to eat it! He loves bath time but hates the getting dressed afterward part! He is obsessed with hair! Like really obsessed! He loves to be outside and he really wishes it would start warming up here in Enterprise so we could go out more!
Trying to find a toy under the couch!
Playing at the park! He absolutely loves the swings!
Climbing thru the tunnel!
Loves Ice Cream!
Having a treat for going the bathroom in the big boy toilet!
Loves to help Mom vacuum!
Feeding but mainly chasing the ducks!
Staying entertained at Isaac's basketball game!
He will always put his hand over his heart when the say the National Anthem before the games! Then always claps afterwards!
Cheering for Uncle Isaac because he made a 3-pointer!
We have a really hard time containing him and keeping him entertained at Isaac's games because all he wants is to run out on the floor and shoot hoops!
Playing the iPad in one of his many weird positions!
He has always had a fascination in the "Big Boy Toilet" and when I could tell he needed to go or before I would put him in his bath we would try and he did it a few times and thought it was prettu awesome that something was in the toilet and even more fun to be able to flush the toilet! So McKay and I decided to buy him his own and not try hard to potty train him but to throw the idea around with him and see how it went! Well so far if he sits down to go he wants someone to sit with him! Second he will try once but then he just wants to play with the toilet and take it apart and put it back together again! So we will keep casually trying and see what happens! I think we could poop train him because he knows when he needs to poop because he hates it in his diaper! But he has no idea when he needs to pee or that he is even doing it half the time! Hence the reason we aren't fully potty training him!
Riding bikes outside! On one of our nice days! Very Rare!
Loves to play XBox with Dad but even more than playing he just likes to put on his headphones!
Cheering and celebrating with Uncle Isaac on their Region Championship!
Take State Z!
My good sleeper in his big boy bed!
So McKay and I were deep cleaning and rearranging our room and Carter was having a hayday discovering all the new things! Well he found a swim diaper and came to McKay and I and wanted us to put it on him... I dont' know if he thought we would go swimming or what... but we put it on and he wore it all afternoon and evening and was mad at us when we took it off to put him in pj's!
Then he found his snowboots and wanted those on! He didn't want to take them off either! But hey he was a happy boy!
Watching some Mickey Mouse clubhouse!
He loves playing with his trucks! He really loves it when they crash!
He loves the wolf! He gives him high 5's and will just sit there and stand by him!
Funny thing is he used to be petrified of the wolf!
We are starting early on the terrible 2's... this cute boy? YES! He is so sweet, innocent, funny and then he turns into the tantrum, crying, bossy boy! Sometimes I just have to laugh!

.:Update On Baby Girl:.

 So Baby Girl is doing good! She is active... a lot more active then the last 2 kids! She is growing which in turn is making me grow... I feel so huge! I am 26 1/2 weeks along! We are having a really hard time with names... even harder time with the middle name! Carter still pats his or my belly when you ask him where sister is! We always ask him to share his drinks or treats and he will say no but then we ask will you share them with baby sister and he says yes! I hope that sharing really continues when she is here! I looked thru all the stuff I got from Hadlee and I am so excited to finally use it and it is all so cute! She sure will by styling! Anyways here are some pictures from our ultrasound right before Christmas at around 20 weeks!
Baby Girls spine!
I'm a Girl!
Her arm and fingers!
Her foot and toes!
Her face!
We are really interested in knowing who she will look like and if she will be more like Carter or Hadlee at birth!
I am really praying that I go on my own instead of having to be induced! I want to know what it feels like to go on my own! Guess we will see though we don't really have a say!
Also any name suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
