Swimming

We went to the pool tonight!!! Carter had so much fun. The kiddie pool has warm water so there wasn't a big shock going in. He wasn't too sure about it when we first went in. But we put him on his back and he started kicking and waving his arms right away! He got all excited and smiled away. Jaice got him swimming on his tummy. He did really well holding his head up and out of the water. He did try and drink the water a few times! I am going to take him a few more times before I put him all the way under. We didn't get any pictures because we were both in the pool with him. We are going to go again tomorrow. Because he can't start lesson's until November we will go on our own until then.
He is going to be quite the water baby!

Talking

Make sure you have the volume on for this video. He spends a good portion of his day talking to the fan. Notice he is on his play mat and there are things for him to touch and look at, but he chooses to talk to the fan instead!

We did it!

So Carter had his 2 month shots on Monday. He did great!! He was a little grumpy when he was getting them, but Jaice walked with him after and fed him and he was fine. He get really fussy again later and got a little warm, so we gave him some Tylenol and he was great again. They weighed him and measured him while we were there. He is still 24 in. and he is up to a grand total of 14 lbs 10oz! He gained 2 lbs in 3 weeks! My little porker!
We went to our first 'baby time' class today. It was great getting out with Carter and seeing other baby's. He is the youngest there by 2 weeks but is not the smallest! The baby that is 11 weeks is so TINY com aired to Carter. He is short though. It was nice meeting with other mommy's and getting to chat about what is happening with our baby's. I am excited to hopefully make some new friends and get Carter some new friends!
We are planning on taking Carter to the pool on Jaice's day's off this weekend. I am excited to see how he does. Some of the moms at the class were talking about the swimming lessons their little ones are in right now and I can't wait to get Carter in the pool! We bought him a swim shirt so that he doesn't get cold in the pool. We will take pictures of him in his swim suit! Well that is what we have been up to lately. We are getting excited to go to Calgary. We leave on the October 2nd. Jaice is only staying a few days but I am going to stay with Carter a little longer to visit with family and friends! I think Jaice is going to enjoy sleeping in and having the bed all to himself! We hope all is well with everyone!

Bathtime!

Well bath time is Carter's favourite time of the day! We finally got a video of him enjoying himself! He goes for his 2 month shots tomorrow, so wish us luck! We are taking him to the pool next weekend! Watch out Michael Phelps! (Hopefully without the whole bong controversy!)
Enjoy!

Morning with Daddy

I haven't posted a lot in a while, so here is some more! Carter's personality is coming out more and more each day. When he is awake he wants to be looking around and making sure he isn't missing anything. We ordered him a bumbo chair and it should be here by the end of the week. I think he will really like being able to sit up and be a little more independent. He is starting to use his arms to keep himself up. He will use them to pull himself up now, it doesn't last too long, but he is working on it! The dogs are still not too interested in him. Every once in a while Ewok will come and find me if Carter is crying and he thinks I am taking to long. I am quite impressed how the dogs seem to leave Carter's toys alone!
We hope everyone is having a great long weekend! A big happy birthday to Uncle Cale! We can't wait to see everyone in October!

Carter talking

Carter's new favourite time is around 6:30 in the morning after his FULL night of sleep. We got the pictures of him talking one morning. He also really likes going for walks with me and the dogs. We went out in the rain today and managed to stay relatively dry! Carter wore his new rain coat from Auntie Cathy and Uncle Dave.... it was a little bit (okay a lot big) but it kept him dry! We are keeping busy. Carter is pretty much on a routine now! YAY!! Bath, bottle, and book at 8 and asleep by 9 every night. He sleeps until between 5 and 6. I know I am SO LUCKY! We thought we would give a quick update with some pictures! Enjoy!
