Afternoon at the park!











We finally went to the park! Carter LOVED the swings. The weather here has been beautiful. We only spent about 10 minutes on the swings because they were in the shade. We went to the grass next and he loved being able to explore and play with the grass and pine cones. To my surprise he didn't try to eat anything! We went with another mom and baby. It was fun watching them explore together!
We are off to explore more this weekend as the sun is still out!
We hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Great visit!











"Look Mom, a dog!"
We sure have been busy! Gran and Grandpa came for a visit over the weekend! It was so great to see them. Carter loved walking around with Grandpa and having book time with Gran. We had some great weather while they were here and had a chance to get out in the sun!
I can't believe Carter is 7 months already! He is growing so fast. His teeth seem to be bugging him lately. He has been a cuddly baby lately.....I'll take it when I can get it! He is really liking baby time and seeing all his friends. We went to the pool last week and Carter loved it! He was more interested in swimming and splashing on his front. He also likes when we go to the part of the pool where he can touch the bottom and jump up and down in the water! We decided to get the finger paint out again and see if Carter liked it! He is quite the artist!
The sun is out again today so we are going to spend the afternoon outside with some friends!

Big day

Today was a big day for Carter. I posted a video of him practicing crawling earlier, but that wasn't the only thing he did today. We had a play date with Cassidy and Lucas this afternoon! Carter really likes Cassidy. She is 2 weeks younger and is adorable. They were poking at each other and Carter was talking to her. He had so much fun this afternoon he came home and had an hour and a half nap! Earlier this morning Carter was playing in bed with me and he found his empty bottle on the pillow....guess who can pick up his bottle and put it in his mouth?????
CARTER CAN!!! He won't hold it for too long but the skill is there!
Carter is also blowing bubble all the time! Don't get too close or you will get wet!
We hope all is well with everyone!





CRAWLING

Well we aren't crawling yet, but we sure had fun practicing tonight! Tonight was the first time he held himself up with his arms. Everytime we have tried before he would just have his face on the floor! He did a great job and we are so proud of him!
Enjoy the video!

A little of this and that











We have been keeping busy. Carter finally rolled over....just once but he did it all by himself! There were witnesses so he had an audience! He went from his back to his front and then was confused when he got there. He is really enjoying being able to sit up and play. He loves to bang his toys. He is not a quiet baby, but we have a lot of fun playing. He is still loving his jolly jumper and will jump and jump all day. He is talking more and more each day. He has started to try and make the 'ba' sound. He thinks he need to stick his tongue out to do it so if you get too close you will end up wet! He loves to make bubbles with his mouth which makes eating supper FUN! Food is his favourite thing. There isn't much he doesn't like. Green beans seem to be the only consistent food he doesn't like, but if we mix it with anything else he will eat it. We have started with Cheerios. He can pick them up but he can't get them out of the palm of his hand yet. We are working on that. He does really well with chewing and moving the food around with his tongue. It is so amazing watching him grow and learn new things all the time! Daddy is Carter's favourite. His whole face lights up when Jaice comes home from work.
Enjoy the pictures and we hope everyone is doing well!
