june elmo shots....

Yes i know i am almost two weeks late posting these!!! It has been extremely busy since we got to ND. My new branch is a huge challenge with new people, getting my pipeline organized, and getting to know the team....loving it but definitely putting in the hours to get it done.

Carter has been very lucky to be hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa Roers at night and the Johnston Family even let CJ have a sleepover this week(see the piano picture from the previous post)

This weekend Carter gets to go to the lake to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Paulus...what a lucky boy he is having so many friends and family that want to spend time with him.

Kenny comes home very soon....we are very anxious for his arrival!!

love sundays...

Today was a busy but great day! We woke up early(well 8am) and spent the morning cleaning, eating pancakes and watching Baby Sign Times. Then Ben had an open house at our house from 12-2, so Ellie, Carter and I went to the parade of Homes Tour. We saw some beautiful homes and got some great ideas for when we build a house some day! Later in the afternoon max and jady came over to play with Carter. The kids had fun playing and us mom's got to catch up!

Then Steve Collins came over for supper and we grilled out and then took Ace and Carter on a nice long walk. Perfect end to a fun day!

Here are some pics below...

Carter in his big boy carseat...

Yes Carter loves Target too! P.S Carter shirt does have pink in it...a masculine pink. Yes, he is not affraid to wear pink. =)

Dinner time..Ace is being a Thief

But Carter doesnt mind...

Steve let Carter try his Avaiator glasses on... CHECK out Carter's new nike's in the picture...pretty sweet!

9 Month Check up

9 months tommorow!
Carter has his checkup on friday. Here are the stats:

18lbz 12oz weight-- 25% percentile
17 7/8" head circumference-- 50% percentile
27 1/2" height-- 10-25% percentile. ***he is going to be a little squirt!!***

Appointment went great! No shots at this one...so that is always good. She was suprised to hear that he has not been sick yet. We are going to move up to eating three food meals a day and slowly remove the formula. Its crazy to think in only a couple more months he will be drinking whole milk.
Today we got up early and hit some garage sales(yes we are that nerdy) We found some great 12-18 month clothes and a pair of cameo crocs. But the best purchase of all were a pair of red air jordan nike shoes for onlu $9 bucks! Now carter and Mom have matching Nike shoes!
This afternoon i packed, carter practiced crawling and playing with ace, and tonight we are going to bed early! Tommorow we have a open house from 12-2 and then Carter's buddies Max and Jady are coming over to play...of course their mom's are coming too!!

P.S Happy BIRTHDAY GRANDMA PAULUS!!

Here is a pic of Carter waiting for the doctor.
