Summer 2010

The weather has finally warmed up and summer has arrived! We've been extremely busy the last few weeks. Besides keeping up with Carter, I had eye surgery 2 days ago (doing pretty well) and Matt left for Vegas the next day (a week long work conference). This summer is going to go by so fast. Here are a few pictures to show what we've been up to. Carter has been practicing finger foods. He likes peas when they are pureed, but not really a fan of the "normal" pea.

We went down to Puyallup for the 4th of July. My brother and sister-in-law had a great BBQ. Unfortunately, it was so cold we couldn't show off Carter's cute "4th outfit." And, because of a rough night of teething the night before, we all left around 8:30pm and were in bed by 9pm. As we were driving back to Bellingham the next day, we realized we never actually saw a firework this year. We heard a bunch of booms, but never saw a beautiful sparkle in the sky. Oh well...there's always next year! Carter has been loving the sunny weather. Any excuse to show off his new hat! We've spent lots of time in the grass. And even more time trying to keep the grass out of Carter's mouth!A very deep-in-thought moment. Who knew 7 month olds had so much to think about?
I bought Carter his 1st pool. After a little hesitation he splashed around and loved it! I think we'll spend many afternoons in the water this summer.And because you can't have a summer without a playground, Carter got to try out the swings for the 1st time today! I think he found a new favorite hobby.
