Toothies

Carter cut his first teeth about a month ago when Chad and I both had the Swine Flu. That meant is was time for his first tooth brush! The first couple of times we brushed his tee th it was so fun because he loved it...now it is a dreaded event since he has decided that he hates it. I have to trick him, with his sippy cup of water, to get him to open his mouth so I can shove the toothbrush in. Above were some pictures of his first toothbrushing.

Trick-or-Treat

How hilarious is this? This is Carter's trick-or-treat basket. We found it at Sam's for around $6! They had several other cute ones...pumpkin, bat, skeleton...but none of them are scary, they all have sweet faces, so that's why I liked them so much. And yes, I know what you are thinking...Carter is only 9 months old, but he and Avery are going trick-or-treating together and I guess Chad and I will just have to eat the candy. Yum!

No Pictures : (

I have a ton of cute pictures in need of posting. We got rid of our desktop computer and now have a laptop and I have been unable to load pictures onto it. I use my SD card...therefore I need an SD card slot, and the laptop doesn't have one. So I need to go to Wal-Mart to get a Jump Drive you can plug in that has an SD slot on it, but just haven't gotten around to doing that just yet. But it will have to be soon because we are going on Carter's first vacation this Thursday! We leave for Gatlinburg when Daddy gets off work, and I suspect I will have MANY pictures from the long weekend. I just realized today that I am a bit overwhelmed with all that has to be done before we leave.

1. Must have a clean house. (I hate coming home to a dirty house)
2. I have a list of several things that need to be purchased from the store...i.e. diapers, formula, etc., but none of this can be bought until tomorrow...waiting on payday :)
3. An adventure into the attic to find luggage.
4. All clothes washed and put away for packing

And the most dreaded...# 5. The packing itself. Not only do I have to get myself packed, which is challenging enough, but I have to get Carter packed. Whenever I pack Carter (we spend the night at my parent's lake house quite often), I feel like I must pack for all possible scenarios...those scenarios include the following:

1. A bad reflux day (extra clothes, burp cloths, and bibs)
2. Cold Weather (fall/winter clothes)
3. Hot Weather (summer clothes)
4. He gets sick on the trip (medicines, thermometer, bulb suction, etc.)

Needless to say, Thursday packing should be time consuming, and draining! The goal is to be packed and ready to go by the time Chad gets home. Also, let's not forget about all the kitchen items I have to pack...sippy cups, bottles, baby food, formula, spoons, bowls, snacks, juice, the list goes on. Pray for me.

Well Carter is screaming after a lovely thirty minute nap, so I must cut this short. Expect a blog when we get back from G-burg, hopefully with pictures included.
