Happy b-day Carter!

We celebrated Carters 1st b-day a few weeks ago, we had a small BBQ with family and friends. It was so hot but we had the pools and slip n slide so we were all set. Carter had a blast and loved his cake made with love by mommy and brother Tyler! I can't believe he is one the time just goes so darn fast!

Carter is Walking!

Well, it has started, life as we knew it has changed forever, Carter has incorporated walking into his life! Lord help us! not to mention he is into absolutely everything, what the heck is it about boys and their fascination with cupboards, cords, drawers etc..... we are always on the go, we never have time to sit still. Carter is also starting to say a few words, mama, dada, WOW! It is so much fun to watch him grow and change and also notice the similarities and differences between him and his brother, they are alike in alot of ways but also very different. Tyler has become quite the little independent man! He has to do everything himself, when I ask if he needs help he will respond "no mommy I can do it myself, I am a big boy" He has also started trying to help Carter with things, he will give him water, feed him and tell him he is doing a good job and his favorite is when Carter is doing something bad "NO Car Car don't do that" usually followed by a push or a shove, ( we are working on that!) His new favorite movies are Water horse and Wizard of Oz, he loves all the old movies, Mary Poppins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc... I bought him Bolt but no interest! He has also discovered scissors and loves to cut things not sure if this is a good thing? but we give him paper and he is entertained for at least an hour this is good for mom!! My boys are growing so fast, life is very hard at times with them so close in age but I know it will get better as time goes on and they grow to be little men!

New Condo!

We have finally got the new condo in Crescent Bar mostly furnished and ready to to visit, we have been over a few times already and each time it is more and more fun! The boys are getting used to their home away from home! They love swimming and riding in peoples golf carts! There are more golf carts than cars there it is so funny! Here are some photos of the pool, boys and the condo we will have more next time!

Tyler knows his ABC's

Well Tyler officially freaked us out over the weekend by blurting out his entire alphabet on our drive to Chelan, I don't know if it was the incredible boredom of being in the car for hours that got him singing our what but we were shocked! Here is a little blip of him later that weekend! Oh and if you listen closely he said at the end "next time won't you sing with Ellie, Ellie is one of Tyler's many girlfriends at school, every time he ends the song he changes the name to a different girl, we are in trouble!!!

Brotherly love

Tyler and Carter are loving each other more everyday! Yes they do get mad at each other occasionally but for the most part they are really good buddies. I hope this continues as they get older!

Growing so fast!

Tyler is getting so big so fast all his baby habits are all in the dust and it is a little sad :-( but at least I still have Carter at least for a little while but he is growing up so fast as well! We are contemplating getting Tyler into his own bed he has not asked to be out of the crib yet but we think he would enjoy being able to get in and out on his own. He has been using the potty a ton and almost every time we are out he will ask to use the potty. I think we are on our way to no more diapers yippee! but Tyler and Carter are the same size right now so it isn't to bad! I took him to go see his 1st play Thomas the Train, he loved it! but it was two hours long we left at the half, nap time plus sitting still in a seat for to long don't go well together for a two year old!

Carter is my little ham he is so darn funny! Lately he has been a little on the cranky side, we thought maybe it's his teeth etc... until I noticed every time we ate he would give us the look of death, so I put two together and figured he wanted more food, so we gave him more jar food, nope didn't want it? Then I saw Tyler say no mommy he wants this and he shoved a handful of cheerios from his bowl into Carters mouth I panicked thinking he was going to gag and choke and then soon realized his was fine he ate them and was so happy! I am not sure how long Tyler has been feeding him without me knowing but I guess he knew before me what he needed! Brothers look out for each other I guess! So now Carter has been eating Cheerios, dried fruit, canned veggies bread, etc.... and he is a much happier baby! He has also been standing on his own holding on to furniture he is a strong one! I can tell he is about to crawl any day, and I have a strange feeling he will walk early, lord help me!!

A day in the life!

Tyler and Carter are both growing way to fast! Carter is sitting up and rolling everywhere and has also got both his two front teeth! He is talking up a storm and loves Tyler to death. Tyler is such a good big brother, there is the occasional slap on the head but other than that he has been a really good boy. Tyler has a new favorite new pass times one being he loves singing songs to himself! His favorite this week is the song leaving on a jet plane! He also has been removing his diaper and peeing where ever he feels like, not so fun, thank goodness we have very little carpet downstairs! I have been so tired lately living of 5 hours of sleep a night but I am getting pretty used to it now. I can't wait till the boys sleep patterns are around the same time! We are still waiting to hear if we have got the Condo in Crescent bar, we hope it works out!
