Fun at the park

7 weeks (last week)
Check out the blue eyes!
Fun on the slide
Carter and Vivian playing
What a beautiful day at the park we had! There is a brand new park close to our house so I took Carter and Campbell to have a play date with Vivian. Carter and Vivian had so much fun! The slide was a big hit! We are so excited for warm weather approaching and fun days at the park! I finally got around to putting Campbell's 7 week picture online! Campbell is sleeping like a champ! She is sleeping in her crib now and the other night she slept 8 hours!!!!! Yahoo!!

6 week old Valentine

6 weeks old

Carter playing soccer . . .
and football . . .
and X-Box!
Here it is, Campbell is almost 7 weeks old and I am just now getting to her 6 week pictures! There really aren't enough hours in the day! Last week we took Carter and Campbell to our neighborhood park to play. Brandon and Carter played soccer and football while Campbell slept peacefully and I took pictures! Campbell enjoyed her 1st Valentine's day complete with the adorable outfit she got from one of Brandon's co-workers! In the last picture Carter is "playing" X-box! Really he isn't, we took the batteries out of the control, but he thought he was playing! I wonder how long we will be able to pull of that trick?! Campbell is doing great, she expressed her 1st smile on the 16th! She has lots of smiles first thing in the morning, maybe because she is sleeping 6-7 hours and we are all smiles about that! Her head is getting stronger and she is even starting to get in a routine. Although, some days are better than others! I took both kids to the mall last week and was very proud of myself! After getting in the mall with 2 kids in a double stroller I had to call Brandon and my mom to gloat! It was nice to get out of the house during the week. Lately I have reserved the weekend for all my errands when Brandon can hang out with the kids! Brandon is such a good sport, I was gone most of the afternoon on Sunday and Monday while he had time with the kids! He was exhausted by the end of the days . . . but now he knows what my days are like! Carter is doing great as well! He is talking up a storm and tries to repeat everything we say to him. His favorite words are, "I got it," "Cool," and "Oh no." When he is playing soccer he runs around after the ball saying, "I got it!" While playing basketball he says, "Oh no," when he misses the hoop! Carter 's favorite thing to sleep with is his basbeall glove and baseball! Obviously Carter is going to follow in his daddy's athletic footsteps!

4 weeks

Mim and the kids
Carter's 1st wagon ride outside!
Campbell turned 4 weeks last week! Actually today she is 5 weeks but I am catching up from last week. Brandon's mom was here to meet Campbell and just left last night. She enjoyed meeting her 1st granddaughter and had so much fun with Carter. The weather has been nice so the other day I took Carter out for his first wagon ride! We have been playing with the wagon in the house that he got for Christmas so we were anxious for the weather to be nice to go outside. He had so much fun! I took him down to our neighborhood park and we both played until Carter was covered in dirt! He came right in and headed for the bath! I enjoyed just some Carter time and I know he enjoyed all my attention! Thanks Mim for coming to visit, we look forward to seeing you in May!
