Halloween Prep

Little Miss Independent

This was last Sunday when it was 50-60 degrees outside. Kit was watching someone swim on the IPAD and needed to match them. (Several outfit changes are not uncommon these days.) She lasted about 15mins outside before she got cold and wanted to come back in.

He's Gonna be a Charmer

Carter's starting to get a bigger personality. More smiles and sounds have been coming our way lately.

Carter Can Make Service Calls

Carter is starting his internship early with Point Electric & Pump. He's working from the top-down, supervising/observing Troy first before he can roll-up his sleeves and get dirty.

Carter and "baby" Ellie hangin' out on the floor.

Mirror Mirror

Sometimes Carter needs to be held and rocked to sleep in the bathroom where it's kinda dark and the floors don't creak. This gives me time to look in the mirror and ask:

"Why won't he go to sleep?"

"Why don't I just lay him in his bed?"

"Why haven't I brushed my hair or my teeth?"

"Why doesn't the laundry put itself away?"

"Who is going to scrub the tub?"

Believe it or not, the mirror doesn't answer me back.

Big Sister

It is rare that Kit will actually sit still when she holds Carter. She always has to move him around and I am constantly reminding her that babies do not like to be jiggled. But, you know what? I don't think he minds...I think I mind more than he does. I just have to remember that all the jiggling is filled with love.
