The Glasses...

The other day, Carter decided to see if his play glasses would fit Abby. As you can see, they're a pretty good fit. I just had to grab my camera.

Our Growing Girl...

It's hard for us to believe, but Abby is already 4 months old! She loves to watch and laugh at her big brother Carter; which she thinks is hilarious! She also has learned to scoot forward on her tummy using her feet. Her big brother still thinks she is pretty cool. He tells me, "I love my Abby sister." How priceless is that?

She loves her "baby!"

See, tummy-time's not so bad.

Look at that smile!

A Stay @ Papa & Grandma Jeffery's...

We are finally back in our house. As some of you know, we were having our hardwood floors refinished. This called for a getaway to the grandparents' for almost 2 weeks. You would have thought Carter was on vacation. He loved being at Papa & Grandma's! We used this time to introduce him to a toddler bed. He only fell out once. Yeah Carter!!! He is also in the process of serious potty training. He's doing great! Mommy hasn't actually brought out the big boy underwear; but he's wearing the cool alert pull-ups. He still has accidents (and would still rather poop in his pants); but we're getting there. He gets M&Ms for using the potty, which he thinks is pretty great! Just this past Sunday, he actually used the potty in his Sunday school class. (Mommy was shocked!)

Here's a small clip of how Carter kept himself busy. I'm not sure, but I think he's helping Grandma with the acorns. Ha! Ha!

All I can say is, "He's Daddy's Boy!"

I just had to publish this video! Carter is deffinately my little "Ham!" Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Washing D.C., Here We Come!

We drove to Washington D.C. at the end of July. We met Lee's sister and her family there. Carter liked playing with his cousin GiGi, swiming, and riding the metro (above/underground subway). This trip to D.C. was a first for our whole family. We saw quite a bit and had lots of fun! Next time we go, we'll make sure the kids are much older and the weather a lot cooler.

4th of July

This year we spent the 4th at Lee's Grandma's on Lake Fenton. This was also the first time Carter had ever seen fireworks. At first, he wanted to leave. But by the time the show was over, he admitted to liking them.

Another first: Great Grandma meeting Abigail.

Just hanging out on the dock with Daddy.

Say Cheese...

We just got our new camera; and I couldn't wait to try it out. Here are a couple of moments I was able to capture.

"Pretty in Pink"

Smiling at my big brother.
