Long Time!




Sorry friends! I know it's been a long while since our last post. July has found us to be very busy! Carter is growing like a weed. I can't believe he'll be 6 months in just a couple weeks. While I'm very excited that's he growing up and learning new things each day, the 6 month mark is very bittersweet b/c Carter won't be able to go to work with me anymore. August 7th will be his last day at KDOR and I'm really dreading it! But, I know it will be good for him to start daycare and socialize with other kids! And lucky for us, we have a GREAT day-care provider that will be watching him. We're very excited that our friend Amy will be watching him. She's great with kids and it really helps having someone that you TRUST!

We're still trying to get Carter to sit up on his own but not having much luck. He's very close, but I think his head just weighs too much! I'm really hoping that by the time he's 6 months he can do it on his own. Carter is doing really well with his sippy cup. We give him just a little bit of apple juice (mostly diluted w/ water) everyday in his cup and he's really getting the hang of it! C-man's getting quite the personality on him too. Brent and I have a feeling he's going to be quite a handful! He's very impatient (no idea where he gets that from! ha!) and anything he sees, he wants (mostly to just put in his mouth). He's really laughing a lot these days, but of course no one can make him laugh like his Daddy can :-) Brent just has the magical touch!

Since I already posted a bunch of new pics on Facebook today, I was too lazy to post them again, so feel free to click this link to check them out! Hope everyone has a great week! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2061850&id=62904693&l=96c3345eec

Love,
Brent, Erin, Carter, & Maggie

More 5 Month Pics

I tried to put these on the last post, but Blogger is acting funky today, so here they are on a new post!





5 Months Old!

Last Wednesday, July 8, I turned 5 months old! Mommy and Daddy can't believe how big I'm getting!! And since I'm such a big boy now, and always trying to grab at everyone's cups, they decided to let my try my first sippy cup!

Then I decided since I did such a good job with my cup, I'd try Mommy's beer...but she didn't think that was such a good idea!


Have a good week everyone! Love, Carter

4th of July

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July! We had a very good time! We went to my Grandma & Grandpa Bryson's house for a cook-out, then came home and sat in our back yard w/ my cousin Candace and her fiance Tuff and watched the fireworks all over town. None of us are real big on setting fireworks off ourselves, but we all like to watch them!

I had planned to spend my day off on Friday doing absolutely nothing b/c I was soooo tired from the past week's events. But of course, that didn't work out so well. The day was spent cleaning and doing laundry. I cleaned out Carter's closet & dresser and packed away all of his newborn clothes and a good portion of his 0-3 clothes (I had to make room for all his summer clothes!) And, I had to give someone TWO baths b/c he had a little poop accident in his excer-saucer! Fun stuff..... So I got to enjoy my lazy day today. It's been very nice being able to just hang out with Brent & Carter and take all the naps we want!

Speaking of naps, Carter's nap schedule has been AWESOME this weekend. He had taken at least one good nap, at least an hour long, each day this weekend. He even napped for 1 hr & 45 min today! Let's hope we can continue with this routine b/c I really believe the naps help him tremendously; he's been a VERY good boy all weekend!
