It has been too long

I haven't blogged in what seems like forever! We have been busy. Carter is learning so much right now. He is talking more and more daily. He is really trying to communicate with us. Everyday new words are popping up in his vocabulary. Nana and Grandpa were just here for a visit. Carter sure loved having them around. He can say nana clear as a bell and grandpa is now grampy. It is finally looking like spring around here. We try and get outside as often as we can. Carter loves to be outside. Sometimes he gets mad when we go out and get in the car instead of going for a walk. He finished his swimming lessons and passed with flying colours......the only problem is he can't move onto the next section until he is 3! We are taking a month and a bit off and then going back into the same lessons again. He loves to be in the water and it is fun for him so we will keep it up for a while. The pool is closed during the summer so we want to get in as often as we can for now. They have an outdoor pool in the summer, but I think we will be spending lots of time at the lake and the beach this summer. So much more room to run! Carter still loves trucks and all that goes them! The look on his face is priceless when we see a 'dumpy' (dump truck) or a 'buit' (bucket truck). He is still as busy as ever but has a new found interest in puzzles. He doesn't like to do them one at a time, we have to have them all out together. He will take all the pieces out and then put them all back together. It can be a process but he loves it. He does great with them. He mostly has puzzles with the pictures on the board so they are easier to find, but he has figured out his ones with no pictures. We are going to look for some new ones this weekend. We are also on the hunt for some fun backyard toys. Now that we see the sun from time to time we like to get out more. Buckets, shovels and 1 riding toy aren't cutting it anymore. Nana and Grampy bought him a lawn mower so Carter and daddy can get out and mow the lawn (hint hint). He still eats like a champ. I am a little fearful for my future! He will have no problem keeping up to his uncles and daddy! The new little one is doing well. We had our ultrasound last week and there is only 1 in there!!! Whew! The doctor said everything is looking great. Carter got to hear the heart beat. He seemed pretty interested and then wanted the doctor to listen to the baby in his tummy, priceless.
