Vacuums aren't bad



Carter is terrfied everytime I vacuum! Maybe I vacummed too much when he was an infant while sleeping and he had nightmares! Who knows! We bought him a play vacuum in hopes that would help ease his fears. He loves his play vacuum and has been "vacumming" ever since we took it out of the box, it even has similar noises as the real thing. So yesterday we got out the real vacuum to see if this toy attempt had worked! He isn't cured yet! At least he can look at the vacuum and walk by it without screaming and crying! But when I turned the vacuum on, his fears came rushing back. Carter was shaking and crying as usual over this mundane chore! I am sure it is the noise that bothers him the most. Hopefully one day he will get over his fear! Notice that his curls are gone too; at least for a week! Carter had his 4th hair cut yesterday! It's very short but hopefully that means we won't have to go back so soon!

A happy 30th

I celebrated my 30th birthday on Sunday! While I wasn't excited about such a milestone it wasn't bad. My parents came for the weekend for Brandon and I to have an evening out on Saturday. We had so much fun. We started with a movie followed by dinner at McCormick and Schmick's which was then followed by chocolate fondue at The Melting Pot. It was all so delicious! On my actual birthday on Sunday we went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner and also enjoyed some of there yummy cheesecakes! All in all, it wasn't too bad turning 30. Though, I think I will be forever 29 or maybe 25 :o)

Waiting . . .


So what do you do with a 16 month old while waiting for a delayed flight at the airport . . . give him whatever keeps him happy! Carter loves the cell phone these days. Every time he sees someone on the phone he looks for mine. In the airport, everyone is on the phone! We were in New York over the weekend for a wedding and of course we were delayed leaving Atlanta!

We're having a . . .

GIRL!
We found out today that Carter is going to have a little sister. We are all very excited and look forward to adventures with a girl this time around! She weighed 9 ounces and looks beautiful already. She appeared to be very photogenic because she was moving all over the place to have her pictures taken!
