Carter is Turning 3!

All about Carter on his last days of being a two year old.

Charming, kind

sharing & caring

Makes friends easily

Carter-isms:  I wanna show you stumpin.  Who's are you eating?  

I made a bewng-bewng (gun)!

Ends his sentences with "ri-ight?"

He's a good eater.  Favorite foods, lots: tomatoes, raspberries, shrimp, sashimi, cake 

favorite color: none.  Not yet learned his colors.  He's gonna get by on his charm.

Maybe he'll marry well.

Almost night-timepotty trained

Favorites:  Woofy stuffed animal, green blanket, guns, playing with water, fidgeting with mommy's nhân (diamond ring)

Persistent- his answer to "no" is:  Wait?  Be patient?  Wait?

Happy go-lucky.  Hums & sings all day

Here comes trouble!

Tuesday, July 15

I took a hard boiled egg and rolled it on Lincoln's swollen eyelid.  

Carter wanted to eat one so I have him a new egg.  As he was eating it exclaimed: mama, there's a ball inside!

He wanted Lincoln to have an egg to eat too, but I said, 

thank you, but no, these two are for rolling and nursing his eye.  Next time.

Later Lincoln wanted to roll it himself when it cooled down and I left him for a moment.  In that moment Carter tattled:  mama, Lincoln is eating the egg!

I came over abs chastised Lincoln.  He was so wounded, crying he said, Carter told me to eat it and then told on me!

Oh Carter.  I asked Carter 

Is that true?

And he said

Yeah (in his western style)

Corner time.

Reading at the dr office

Carter's 3rd dr appt at Kelsey Seybold this year!

Checking out the marble on the left side of his neck - on daddy's day off

Reading while waiting for Dr. Sheena 

Height:  35 1/2 inches; 67.75%

Weight:  39.4 lbs; 44%

The marble is just an enlargement of lymph nodes due to his current cough, runny nose & sore throat.  If it changes 

In the future, we can see an ENT

Happy valentines day!
