Carter's 4 Year Pictures

Here are Carter's 4 year pictures we had take today. He gave me some attitude at first and didn't want them taken, no suprise there, but he turned around real quick and I think they turned out great. I can't believe he is 4 already. He doesn't look like a toddler anymore, but a tall young boy. You dont really realize it until you take a picture of them and look at it. The first is my favorite and the one that I ordered- it shows his true genuine smile, not forced or fake, you can see it in his eyes too.

9 Month Pictures & Stats

We had Levi's 9 month pictures taken today at Sears and he did great. Such a handsome little man! He also had a doc. appt. Tuesday and he weighed 25 lbs and was 29.5" tall. He gained 2.5 lbs and only grew 1/2 and inch within the past 2 months( he was late for his 6 month and was really 7 months). He is 85% for height and 95% for weight. No suprise there! They also found that he has a ear infection from the cold he has, so know he is on some meds and should be cleared up before we leave for Florida. Here are some pics of our photo sessions, the rest are posted on Facebook.

Look-a-likes??? I would say that he is definetly my son and we have similarities. Most of our features are the same, like the mouth and ears. I have more hair and its darker. I also noticed that I was wearing red and white like he is. That was not planned.

9 months

Levi is turning more into a big boy than my little baby. He loves to be around his brothers and watch what they are doing. He's always in their toys, crawling into places he shouldn't be and then getting stuck and crying for help. He pulls up to things and plays with whatever he can reach. He likes to "walk" around holding your hands. He has just started to open up the cupboards/drawers in the kitchen so time to baby proof again. I always have to remember to shut the doors so he doesn't fall down the steps now and he has even begun to climb up them. He is a very busy boy. He still drinks 3 bottles a day and eats 3rd foods, baby snacks and some table foods. He also got his 3rd tooth on the top, but it was not one of the front ones it was one to the side?! He has finally given up his 3rd nap and has 2 big naps, one in the morning and afternoon. He has his 9 month appt. on Tues and I need to schedule his pictures this week, so I will post that stuff by the end of the week.

he loves to eat and sure made a mess with those biter biscuits

this is a little bit of a goofy picture, but he's showing off his big boy teeth (hes had them since 5 months)

Playing Outdoors, Finally!!!

The last couple days we have been getting a taste of spring with this warmer weather especially today. It has been great to get the boys outside. We went for a few walks, played with some chalk and got to swing. For Levi it was his first time and he loved it, can't you tell!?! I hope soon that this warm weather will decide to stick around b/c I am so ready for Spring and Summer and we can enjoy these activities more.

my boys and they are actually all looking at me for the picture

Cheap Cereal at Family Fare!

Family Fare has a great deal on cereal this week, if your family loves cereal as much as we do. They have a promotion going on that if you buy 6 boxes of any size General Mills cereal you instantly get $10 off + you get a coupon for $6 off you next purchase of milk, which is about 3 gallons of milk if bought on sale.
I purchased the smaller boxes b/c they are obviously cheaper than I used the coupons that I had + the $10 off instantly. I did two seperate transactions to be sure I got the $10 off each time. I ended up with 12 boxes of cereal for $8.78, that is 0.73 a box + 2 coupons for $6 each off my next purchase of milk, which would be about 6 FREE gallons of milk. Then to top it off they printed off two more coupons for general mills cereal(totaling a purchase of 6) so I will probally go back during the week and get more cheap cereal and free milk. Hopefully they will restock b/c I took the last of the smaller boxes of Cheerios. I think we will be set on cereal for a long time b/c I already had a good stock pile going anyway.
