Carter's 2nd birthday party!

We had Carter's party today on his actual birthday. I was SO worried that is was going to be pouring after the weather yesterday. We got really lucky and the rain cleared up. The only problem was the mud. Not more that 5 minutes after we go to the party, Carter slipped and fell into the mud. Oh well! We had a great time and a great turn out!!

I'm so glad I brought his rain boots.....they were great for the mud!

My sweet 2 year old boy!

I truly can't believe that Carter is 2 today. I have found myself very sentimental about the fact that he's 2. He is growing up go quickly. He brings me SO much joy and every day I am still amazed that he is mine. The night before his 2nd birthday it was rainy and stormy just like the night before he was born. I can still remember so many details about that night and the next day. I loved having my mom spend the night with me so that Kris could rest up. I had a great and pretty calm morning and afternoon on May 3. And despite the fact that his actual birth had so many ups and downs, I can still remember how it felt when Kris handed me my sweet boy for the first time. This may sound kinda silly, but I keep the little shirt he wore after he was born in a baggie. I keep it there so it won't loose it's smell. When I go back and smell it, my eyes tear up each time...it brings back all the emotions of meeting my sweet baby for the first time. Enough with the sappiness.....here are some pictures of my sweet two year old, along with some Carter trivia.
His current favorite word is, "Did it" He says that any time he does something he is proud of!

He LOVES sweets! The other day Kris bought him doughnut holes with chocolate on the top. He ate only the chocolate tops off!!

Carter loves to dance! He loves the songs, "All the Single Ladies" "Boom, boom, pow" "Umbrella" and "6 Little Ducks"

Carter loves anything to do with Baseball. basketball, or kick-ball (soccer). When he throws the baseball, he already winds up with one leg- it's too cute!

Carter still loves to sleep with his bunny and his buh (paci)

I love the way he says love you. It comes out like luh-oh.

He says "mama' about a hundred times a day....I secretly love it!!
He loves anything to do with babies. If there is a big dog and a little dog, he says "baby dog" He loves his baby chick Ma got him for Easter and he loves to look at pictures of himself when he was a baby!
He is so funny and runs a "jumps high" It's too cute!

He's into a "mine" stage. My house, my phone, my book...you get the point!

Last but not least, he is such a sweet boy! He loves to give hugs and kisses and at you back....I could just eat him up!! :)

We went out to Aunt Kristen's new horse park today and Carter fell in love with a swing that was in a huge tree. It make for some cute pictures. Above is one of the sweet dogs that live there.....she was just hanging out!






















Boom boom pow!

Carter's new favorite song is "Boom, Boom, pow" by the Black Eyed Peas. He is so funny. He sings aong saying, "boom, boom, boom." I found the video on Youtube and Carter loved singing and dancing along!
"Mommy, boom, boom, boom!" So happy!
Dacncing!

I caught a genuine Carter smile!
