Growing Up Too Fast

September 18, 2011

You boys are growing way too fast! I'm just not ready for it...

Oliver, your vocabulary is amazing! You've been putting together more and more sentences and communicating what you like, what you see, or what you want so much better! We're amazed at some of the things you've been saying lately. You can tell us a little story in a bunch of short sentences, it's so fun to listen to. You are still completely obsessed with the "pirate song" and have been carrying your ching ching and pew pew (your gun) around everywhere. You insist on having both weapons and your pirate hat while you listen to the song every time. You've been pretty into the Pirates of the Caribbean movie lately too. If I try to listen to anything but the pirate song on my computer you say "I don't like it! Pirate song!". It's too cute to deny so of course, pirate song it is!

Carter, you are definitely growing like a weed these days. You are crawling all over the house and your even pulling up on things and trying to stand on your own without holding onto anything. You may be walking sooner than we're ready for. You do sit and watch your brother run all around playing, and you always have a smile on your face. We can tell that you love him very much already. You taught yourself how to sit up this last month and you're starting to figure out how to take steps while holding onto a piece of furniture so that you can get into things. :)

You boys are so sweet and I love you with all of my heart. I am so blessed to be your Mama and to get to stay home with you every single day to take care of you. That makes your Daddy a pretty great guy because he works really hard to let me do that. :) We love you boys.

Crawling Critter and A SLO Day

August 16, 2011

I can't believe I forgot to mention this in the last post..... Carter you are officially crawling!! You've been doing the army crawl for about a month and a half now, but now you're really getting around! It's very cute because you are very little and you always try to walk on your feet. We call it your bear crawl, I think you'll be an early walker too. You have been taking full advantage of your mobility by getting around to all of the different toys and exploring the kitchen.

Monday we went to San Luis with Papa, your Aunties, and Uncle Plupp. We had a great time hanging out with them. Oliver you stole Auntie Tinney's Jamba Juice and assumed it was yours. You drank all of it, but it was pretty cute watching you walk around with your little Jamba cup.

Oliver, we started telling you to smile and say cheese when we pull out the camera and you've been getting a kick out of that. This morning you even asked me to take the camera out and snap some pictures of you. 

Our car is currently in the shop so we're borrowing a really cool Jeep from our friends until we get our car back. Oliver, I let you "drive" it yesterday and you thought that was the coolest thing ever. You looked at me and said "Shut the door Mama! I driving Mama!". It was so sassy and cute! Not only did you say one complete sentence....but you said TWO...IN A ROW! You're amazing.

Uncle Zach and Hanna are moving away for school. We had to say bye to Hanna on Saturday (although I'm sure we'll see her again very soon) and Zach will be leaving in a couple of days. We will miss having them over and eating lunch with them at Wasco, but they're going to have so much fun in San Diego.
