Ryan update...

Mary-Charles spoke with Ryan last night and the night before. He's doing pretty well. He says it's beautiful but REALLY hot and humid! His orders are for three months... which is less time than originally expected. Of course things can change, but we are all hoping for the best. Ryan, if you are reading this - we are thinking of you. Do whatcha gotta do, and get home safe! Miss ya!

Our little monkey!

Just a quick post before I go to work -- this morning after breakfast Josh, as always, took Carter out of his highchair. The normal routine consist of now getting teeth brushed, well Carter hasn't been too fond of this task lately - so, today he decided to climb back into his highchair. YES, he did this all by himself, then proceeds to say "stuck, stuck"... Josh couldn't resist taking this shot...

Crazy kid

Tonight Carter had a few Kodak moments - I couldn't resit posting them all. You can also find additional pictures in the September folder on Picasa.

I'm not exactly sure how Carter ended up with Josh's shirt on - but, he sure does look cute in it. These pics are for you Tom - hope all is well in New York! We miss you guys!

A few weeks ago Carter discovered the spare room - all kinds of stuff he shouldn't get into!! Here he has a Christmas ornament that was left behind last year... as well as a picture of Josh's grandparents. He'll dance to the tunes of the ornament while singing MiMi... Papaw.... MiMi... Papaw!


After playing dress-up (is it okay for boys to do that?!?) it was bath time. Josh asked Carter where the penguin was - and low and behold he showed me the penguin. Nana will be pleased to know the penguins will be passed on... LOL!

What does the duck say Carter -- "Quack, Quack".

A quick little stroll in our PJ's before na-night time. Bye-bye Mommy!

A quick one...

Here are just a few cute shots of Carter eating a hamburger bun on the stairs... I guess it was his afternoon snack! He ate the whole darn thing, with the exception of the chunk Kirby managed to grab... which Carter was none to thrilled with. No! No! Mine!

I think this was just about when Kirby got a bite...

He wasn't very happy with Kirby at this point!

He cheered up pretty quickly once he realized he still had quite a bit of his bread left.... he thought it was silly to show me each and every bite! Crazy little man!

Is it really time??

Well, as it stands now Ryan is scheduled to leave for Cuba tomorrow.... here are a few shots of Carter helping Ryan pack up his car yesterday after we enjoyed some yummy Goodberry's! Ryan -- you will be missed. We will be thinking of you daily, and wish you a safe return home!!

Heck with the wagon -- seems as though he prefers the suitcase!!

Can it be?!?

Carter & Brennan with the same potty -- both fully clothed getting introduced to such a wonderful device. Let's hope Natasha and I will be diaper free sooner than later!

Mexican night!

Josh and I took Carter for Mexican one evening last week - he enjoyed a cheese Quesadilla and LOTS of Mexican rice!! Here are a few cute shots from my cell phone. Crazy kid!

I think he had a mouth full in this shot!
