Zoo Day

We took Carter to the zoo for the first time today. He really enjoyed all the animals, and we loved the family time. Looking forward to going back again soon!

First stop of the day... the lemurs. Carter loved these and kept calling them "kitty kitties"

The duck pond had all kinds of ducks, flamingos, and other water birds.

Not sure what this thing was, but we called it a turkey.

This is the "cheeeeese" face I get when he sees the camera

"Bye bye birdies!"

Tiger, also a "kitty kitty"

At the Giants of the Savannah... he absolutely loved everything he saw here.

He learned how to say "giraffe" today!

Cheetah, yet another "kitty kitty"

Playing at the Park

Enjoying the beautiful weather!

Pointing at airplanes... he might be obsessed! =)

One of my favorites of the day... those eyes!

Other Cousins

Carter got to play with our nephews this weekend.

We didn't get too many pictures of them, but I thought these were adorable!

Gavin and Devin wanted to hold Carter's hand on our walk.

Devin and Carter... love this one!

And, because I'm always the one taking the pictures, I don't have too many pictures of me and my little man. So I have to post these, too.

Cousins

We were able to spend some time with our cousins this week! Here are a few pictures.

My cousin Logan's little boy, Hayden, is 2 1/2.

He and Carter had so much fun together!

Something's funny...

Hayden looks so sneaky... too cute not to post!

Aww.....

 So sweet. We tried to get Carter to kiss him back, but he wasn't having it.

They were both screaming at the top of their lungs. Love Carter's "question" arms here...

On Friday, Carter and I met my aunts, uncle, and cousins to watch my cousin, Caitlin, play volleyball. Caitlin is a freshman at Louisiana Tech, and they were playing a tournament at UTA this weekend. Here are a couple pictures I snapped of her at the game. Carter had so much fun watching them play, and shouting along with them! Oh, and for some reason there was a reporter there interviewing "young" people on a politics issue. Carter and I may be on WB 33 news tomorrow night (Saturday) at 9:00 in case you're interested as to why! So silly..... if you know me, politics aren't exactly my area of expertise! =)

Caitlin is the tall one (in red) in the middle...

Roughhousing with Dad

Tickle monster!

Getting chased...

I'm gonna get you!

GOT YOU!

Eric is tickling Carter's thighs with his buzz cut!

So cute!

This boy loves his daddy..... can you tell?!

Giving the Spoon a Try

He's getting better!

Little Guy, Big Bed

One of Carter's favorite things to do lately is get up in our bed and play. I usually let him do this while I'm getting ready right there in our bathroom. He just loves being up there.... I think he thinks it's such a big boy thing to do! Here are some of the pictures I snapped of him this morning.

King of the king size...

Make yourself comfortable....
