10 Months

Levi's first year of life is going so quickly. He is such a big boy at 10 months. When we returned from Florida he had learned so much while I was gone( probally b/c he got all the attention from grandmas, sorry to say, hes the third child and yes they do get less attention, especially when they are such good babies) He has started to "talk" alot more, the other day he was attempting to copy me and make truck noises, it was so cute. He learned so big. I think its funny b/c their arms barely reach past their head. He also learned to wave bye-bye. He is pulling up on everything and will attempt to stand for a few seconds without holding on to anything. He loves to walk around holding your hands. This is the month that my other two started walking so we will see if he follows them. Its going to be a busy summer with him! He now has 4 teeth, the other tooth on the top came through just after we came home from vacation. But they are not his two top front teeth they are the next two. I thought that was a odd pattern, so he looks like he is missing his two front teeth. He is eats both jarred and table food yet with a total of 3 bottles a day. He loves to eat and will eat about anything. He loves to be outside and watch everything. Its fun to start seeing his little personality come out, although it looks like he has some attitude already, but right now its cute! How can you get mad at this face...

Fort Myers Beach, Florida 2010

WARNING: Lots of pictures. I was kinda putting of posting this b/c of al lthe pictures that I had and it seemed a little daunting. They are in no particular order they are just a few snapshots of what we did during the week in Florida. I have more posted on FB.
We had a wonderful time the weather was perfect, sunny and 80 all week. I went down with my sister and her 3 kids and then my two oldest( Levi stayed behind and got spoiled) The ride there and back went smoothly. There were a few traffic delays but nothing major. The ride back was worse and I drove straight home, so I was very tired and night driving is hard. We mostly hung out at the beach or the pool, walked the beach and pier. We saw baby sharks that people would catch while fishing and we even touched it and we got to hold a parrot( no pic b/c I forgot my camera!!) We walked around the shops downtown alot and also went to an outlet mall one morning. We also visted the Shell Factory and Nature park and their community pool which is pretty much like our aquatic center, just outside. We also did a little mini-golf too. And a few nights my sister and I got to go out and enjoy a few drinks. I would definetly go back again. It was very nice and relaxing.

Carter's 4th Birthday Party

Carter is 4 now! Wow I can't believe it! He actually turned four last Sat. when we were in FL. We were traveling home that day, so he had to spend it in the car :( We had a party for him last night with the grandparents. He wanted a monster truck cake, so this is an idea I found. Don't think it turned out to bad. He wanted it to be red, but the frosting always ends up looking pink, so we did green. Happy Birthday Buddy! We Love you!!

These pictures are backwards, but they are all of him opening and playing with his presents. He got his first Playmobil set- it was a pirate ship along with some extra pirates and smaller boat. He also got a Playmobil safari jeep. He also got a dragon castle with a dragon. He is a very imaginitive boy and as you can see from the picture that he loves them and went right to playing with them.

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.
