June full of firsts

June has been a busy month for us. It's been full of firsts for the kids too. Here are some of the things we've been up to.

Carter had his first set of swimming lessons. He really enjoyed it and was his instructor's little buddy by the end of them. He still asks in the morning if he has swimming lessons today.

Carter had his first dentist appointment. He did great and didn't complain until the very end. He did so well the dentist let him pick out a toy from the treasure chest. Carter picked out a piggy bank and when she asked him if he has money for it he simply replied, "No, but my daddy does."

Audrey has been enjoying the baby swing and the playmat. She loves watching the lights change with the music. It's guaranteed to make her smile. We're also glad that she likes the swing since Carter never took to it as a baby.

We got to go out as a family last week. We attended Carter & Audrey's first baseball game-the AA Birmingham Baron's. It was a family outing for JCRMA (med. wive's club) so other families were there too. Despite the heat we had a good time. Carter was more interested in the inflatable play area than the game but what can you expect from a toddler.

I finally put a bow in Audrey's hair. Her hair is so fine and smooth that it didn't stay in very long but it was cute while it lasted. As you can tell by her face she wasn't sure what to think of it. Right after I took the picture we got a smile out of her though.

New bikes

Carter got this awesome Tonka truck bike from Tita Angela and Uncle Brett. He was all excited and picked out a spiderman helmet and pads. Unfortunately, he needs to grow another inch or two befoe he can fully reach the pedals. Chuck felt so bad for him that we had to take him to get a tricycle that he can ride now. We found him a Cars one! Carter is getting the hang of pedaling and will be a pro by the time he'll be big enough for the bike. Now that he's getting better at it we'll have to take him to the park where there is a path for him to ride on.

2 months old

Audrey is two months old today. We go to the doctor Monday to find out how much she has grown this last month. She is now sleeping 6-7 hours at night, smiling more & more and starting to find her voice. It's also Chuck's 32nd birthday today. Yep, he's getting old. :)

Carter's BFF

Carter got this Spiderman pillow for his birthday from Tita Amy and he loves it. He has us run around the house with it chasing after him while making web noises. Carter's bed is getting more crowded with spiderman joining the blankies and other animals needed to go to bed at night.

All 3

Here is our first picture of all three of our munchkins together. They're so cute!

Carter's 3!!!

Carter turned 3 on Sunday. Since Carter thinks he's Spiderman these days it was only appropriate to get him a spiderman cake. It was pretty fancy and even came in a spiderman box. It included the green goblin, sand man and black spiderman. Carter thought it was so cool that the spiderman flew around the cake! He kept saying that he loves this cake. He's been playing with the figurines non-stop and took them to bed that night.

1 month old

It's hard to believe that Audrey is already a month old. She's a good eater and is already weighing in at 7 lbs. 9 oz. We're hoping that will bring more sleep for mommy soon. Carter's been a real sweet big brother and we are proud of him for how he's handled the change. Some of the things he enjoys to do are; singing to her, helping with her baths, giving her her paci and holding her. He doesn't go to bed without giving her a kiss goodnight. As usual he never misses out on a photo op. Carter also thinks he's a super hero lately. Every day he dons one of his costumes and runs around the house and yard saving the world. He'll be happy to find out that I've ordered him a spiderman cake for his birthday.
