My Little Pumpkin

So I wanted to take Carter to a real Pumpkin Patch, but decided he was just too young. We went to Calloway's Nursery instead and took a bunch of cute Fall pictures.... that's really all I wanted! We can have the whole Pumpkin Patch experience next year. This will do for now!

Not really sure what to think...

Happy Boy!
Hmm...

Where in the world am I?

What is this stuff?

I got some hay!

BOO! I see you! (Not too sure what the crazy hair is all about)

This is new

This has to be my favorite! So sweet!

Just chillin with all the pumpkins!

I love my Daddy

And of course I love my Mommy, too.

Lately

Here are a few cute pictures I've taken lately.

Carter has graduated to the big bath tub

now that he is sitting up so well!

All wraped up after bath time

He loves to play outside in the evenings,

and he LOVES his Stormie dog! Cutie just playing on the couch, watching a little Baby Einstein
Also, Carter and I have joined a play group! We've been to a few play dates with other mommies and babies his age, and are really enjoying it so far! Look at all the little cuties in their jammies!

His first pajama party!

And... how stinkin' cute is this?!

Carter and Gavin all snuggled up to Mia!!

Play Time with Mommy

Carter was in an especially good mood today. We did a lot of playing, and had a lot of fun! He loves to sit up and play, and is getting better at it every day. Also, he is really starting to interact with us while playing. And he grabs for EVERYTHING!! His new favorite things to reach for are the remote control, the camera, and my watch. And he loves to sit in my lap at the computer and bang on the keyboard!!

I know it's in backwards, and I don't care

Happy boy!

Peekaboo! He can play now, too!

Grabbing for the camera.... everything goes straight to the mouth!

We loved playing outside!

GO COWBOYS!!

In our house, we were very excited about the start of the Cowboys' new season last weekend. We were even more excited this weekend to be going to the first regular season home game in the new stadium! And I had to get all of us dressed up in our Romo jerseys for some family shots!! Got some good ones. Also, a few of the tailgate before the game, and the game itself. We still had fun, even though they lost. There's always next week!

And we can't forget the return of college football.

Needless to say, we're starting the boy young!!

GO VOLS!

Mmmmm... cereal!

Carter had his first solids last night! We decided to go ahead and give him a little bit of cereal, and he LOVED it!! He got the hang of eating from a spoon really quick. After the second or third bite, he was opening his mouth when he saw the it coming! What a big boy!

Catching up...

I appologize for being a little behind on my blogging. I had so much to do last week to prepare for our trip - clean the house, do all the laundry, pack for myself and for Carter, run errands - you get the idea. Going out of town now is a little more difficult than before! Anyway, now that I'm back, here are a few cute things I've been meaning to post, but haven't gotten around to it.

Mommy and Carter just before leaving for Vegas.

I didn't want to leave my little boy!

Gorgeous blue eyes!

Love to eat his toes!

Watching Sport Center

Having fun with Daddy!

Vegas!

Eric and I got back from our Vegas trip yesterday. We had a great time, but I was really missing my boy, and was so glad to be home with him last night! We stayed at Monte Carlo, but went up and down the strip to see the sights. We gambled some... Eric won maybe $40 at Craps, $25 on Multi-Play Blackjack, a little at Roulette and I won $5 on a $1 slot pull, and another $11 on $1 pull. If only I had put in $100!! Didn't win much, but it was fun! Also, for my birthday Saturday we ate at Delmonico's Steakhouse (Emeril's restaurant in The Venetian) and saw The Blue Man Group, both of which were wonderful! Here are a few pics from our trip!

Already 5 months!

We had Carter's pictures taken again today.

What a sweet little angel baby!!
