5 months already?!?

Oh my Carter, It's hard to believe you are already 5 months old.  I can't even remember life before you.  When you were a day old it was like you had always been ours.  You have amazing love in your eyes.  It astounds me how you speak.  To the world it sounds like jargon but just seeing your face I know there is so much you have to say.  Your smile is priceless and makes a whole room light up.  Your giggle could carry me for weeks.  I love the way you kiss me back.  Even at 5 months you already understand, amazing.  Your brother just loves you.  He can't wait to talk to you every morning.  He loves to kiss you and make you happy.  We just love you so much!  Thank you for completing our family Little Man!!!!

Always grabbing those cute little piggies!  

He loves these Link-a-doos!  Unfortunately, so does Michael.   Check out that hair!  It stayed like that all day!

Dad's Humor... a blessing and a curse

Last night, before bed, I was looking at our white towels hanging in the bathroom.  

Brian's was looking especially dingy.  I went to bed and told him I thought it was time we switch out our towels.  He said, "Okay, yeah."  I said, "Yours is looking like the olympics."  He said, "What?"(said in a higher pitch and drawn out.)   I said, "It's Beiging!  Ha ha ha ha ha!"  He shook his head and said, "How long did it take you to come up with that one?"  I said proudly, "That's just how my mind works."  

Thanks Dad!  :)

Bed time shenanigans

One evening, while putting Michael to bed, I thought I would catch him off guard and lay on him.  Not to hurt him.  I laid on him and his blankets and said, "What a lumpy bed!  It's not comfortable!"

Little did I know, this would become ritual.

EVERY NIGHT we go through this.

Put Jammies on.

Read some books.

Tuck him in.

Blow out the light.

"Mommy Lay on me!"  So I do.  (and he makes me say the same things every time!)

Prayers.

Play with my hair.

Blow me a kiss.

Night night Michael.
