WE MOVED!

It's been 2 weeks since we moved into our new house. We love all the space and living in a young neighborhood. We have already met 3 neighbors. We lived at our old house for 3 1/2 years and only new 2. Things are looking up.

Carter is able to move much easier around the house. He loves walking around the house with his walker. He is getting closer to walking on his own everyday.

We opened up the pool this weekend. Carter loved showing off his muscles and soaking up the sun.

The sun is shining

The weather has finally made a change for the better. Carter loves being outside so he has been very happy the last few days. Will and I both celebrated our birthdays in the last week. Nothing too exciting. We did get to spend a lot time with both of our families which was a lot of fun.

Carter has really been on the move. He has picked up the pace and is able to disappear quickly.

The count down is on till we move. 2 weeks from today we will be moving to our new house. We are very excited to have some more space.

Riley and Carter had a lot of fun last weekend.

We have been visiting the zoo. Carter is not sure about all of the animals.

Bad case of diaper rash, so Carter was "airing out" for a while.

I can do it by myself

Carter is making strides everyday. This last week he has started to crawl/scoot. He has also figured out how to stand up in his crib. The only problem is he can't get down. So once he stands up he giggles a little, talks to Leo (his security lion) and then starts yelling. Yes, he has found his voice. He doesn't cry or scream very often, but he likes to yell just to hear his own voice. He also likes to repeat "dada" over and over again. He loves being with daddy.

House news: We had our first open house this weekend and it went really well. We got an offer!!! Only 5 days on the market, which is very exciting. We made our counter today and hopefully everything will work out. We could be in a new house by the end of May.

On the move

Sorry it has been so long since my last blog, but we have been pretty busy. We have decided to put our house up for sale. We have already found a house and made an offer. If our house sells it is ours! It is not quite done being built, so we were able to pick our colors, lights and flooring which is very exciting. Now that we have put so much time and effort into the new house I hope ours will sell. Unfortunately there are a ton of houses for sale in Lincoln right now. Any extra prayers you can give would be great.

Carter is also on the move. In the last few weeks he has figured out how to scoot around the house as well as walk along the walls, furniture or anyone who is in the way. He also can get to a sit from a lay. This may not seem like a big deal, but for him it is HUGE. He was supposed to be able to do this around 9 months. He is very proud of himself. He loves exploring around the house. Everytime I turn around he is in a new location.

I can sit by myself!!Here is a random picture. One day I came around the corner and found him sitting on the pot. I am asumming that he fell and happened to land on it.

Every Parents Dream

This morning Carter set a new record. He slept till 8:00!! Usually he is up at 6:30 on the dot. This was the best gift he could have ever given us.

It could be his new big boy jammies. He was very proud to get out of the footie jammies. Here he is modeling his new sleepwear.

A Taste of Spring

Today was a beautiful day in Lincoln, almost 70 degrees. Carter and I played outside for the first time this year. It was like the first time he had been outside. He notices much more this year. And of course he had to taste everything as well.

He also gave out some hugs, to the tree!

And he tried to climb the tree, which he didn't really enjoy.

And of course we had a lot of fun too.

My little boy is growing up. He is standing for almost a minute. Walking around everwhere(holding on to something) and even throwing a few fits. Carter's new favorite food is Lima beans and don't know where that one came from.

Dentist in Training

Our future dentist practices brushing his teeth before bed. Carter is teething once again and loves to brush on his sore gums. Tonight we went out to eat for Greek food. And surprise, surprise Carter loved the spiced meat. He was so excited that he was bouncing in his high chair. He let out a few screeches of enjoyment then decided to wave goodbye to anyone who was leaving the restaurant. Our little social butterfly is starting to loosen up and let it all out.
