It is official....
We have hit a major milestone - no more bubba's! Sorry granddaddy -- I know this was your favorite time with Carter..... but, it was time! Our pediatrician will be proud.
Getting rid of the afternoon bottle was pretty much forced upon us - once he moved into the toddler class at school we were no longer allowed to send a bottle. Surprisingly - it didn't phase him one bit. He got milk out of a cup and cookies instead :-)
When Carter went in for his 1 year well visit we were down to only two bottles a day -- Dr. Bell said it was important that by our 15 month visit we were bottle free! So, of course I freaked out and thought how on earth can I make this happen....
After a conversation with Josh the evening after his year check up we decided to try to cut out the morning bottle next. Josh had the morning routine down to such a science -- Carter would grab his bubba, and sit on his bean-bag while Josh would walk & feed Kirby, as well as get the car loaded up. Now what am I going to do, he said?!? Well, I decided to prepare Carter an Organic Whole Wheat Blueberry waffle along with a cup of milk for breakfast.... worked like a charm. Now he sits in his high-chair (which is moved into the living room in the morning) and watches sports center while enjoying his breakfast.
Knowing his 15 month check up is not that far away I thought we'd best start trying to wean him of his na-night bottle -- the one that I personally thought would be the hardest. Mom's never want to jeopardize a kids na-night routine.
So, on the evening of Wednesday, May 14th (Mine & Josh's 3 year wedding anniversary!!) we decided to see how Carter would act without one -- you guess'd it, not a care in the world. He now gets a cup of milk to enjoy while he plays the last hour before bedtime!
It is official.... our little peanut is growing up!

Pups on the beach!
We were lucky enough to run into Jolene while we were chillin' on Carolina Beach! Here are a few pictures of her cute pups... Cara & Gracie!
Playin' in the SAND!
Josh, Carter and I spent last weekend @ Carolina Beach. We had a great time visiting Dad, Trish, Mal, Cameron, Sam & Jag... we were lucky enough to have picked the weekend Dad is on babysitting duty every year while Ken & Tam go to Myrtle Beach for Bike Week. It was a TON of fun!!
Carter wasn't leaving the beach until we all perfected our sand castle building skills! Josh was the first to get the lesson of the day!
Sam & Jag hangin' out after a long day of riddin' the waves! Jag -- I think you can get a fine from the CB Police for sitting in the dunes?!?

Chillin' @ Dads!
After a long day at the beach we came back to the house and enjoyed a nice dinner -- thanks Trish! As always, it was YUMMY!
Jag & Carter playing before bedtime! Jag was a big helper -- he helped Josh get Carter all ready for bed!
Here is Sam with Carter -- all ready for na-night!

Mal & Cameron -- it was great to visit and meet the new man in Mal's life -- I wonder how long this one will last?!? Heehee.... love ya girlie!
Trish & Sophie -- looks like Trish was worn out..... time for a good nights rest!!
Umm.... Mal, are you on Carter's tractor?? I think that has a weight limit -- if she exceeds it I'd be surprised!!

David Mathis - Our neighbor!
BMW: Big Mathis Win
Early in the week, David Mathis told his wife he'd win the BMW Charity Classic. On Sunday, he did just that, capping off a nearly wire-to-wire run with a final-round 68 for a three-stroke margin and his first career title.
