The Fab Four!!!! Meet Carter, Demi, Nico and Helia!!!! From left to right...me and Carter, Alison and Demi, Dee Dee and Nico, and Courtney and Helia! I've known Alison and Dee Dee since 1st grade and Courtney since my freshmen year in college. These babies are going to be life-long friends whether they like it or not... and NO, this was NOT planned!!!!
Seguin girls and their precious babies... do not be fooled by the calmness in the picture :) This was the aftermath of quite an eventful dinner :)
Carter flirting with Helia... He may appear like he just wants her toys, but he's just being smooth... Check out the look on her cute little face, though... Yep... he's quite the ladies man :)
Carter and Nico in their first wrestling match... It was hilarious, and I'm sure there are plenty more of these in their future.
Cousin Christopher and Carter just chillin' in Brenda's pool. This is the life!!!
Like father like son! So, so cute!!!
Uncle Warren and Aunt Caroline surprised us with a great visit to Seguin. Carter looks so tiny when Warren holds him... It's all an illusion :)
"As long as I have my grandma and my giraffe, I am good to go."
" Great Grandma Geri couldn't believe how big I was... She's so cool... she does pilates at her new house... If I knew what that was, I'd be even more impressed!"
All smiles in his bounce-mobile... Andy and I often wish they would make these in adult sizes :)
Flyin' high and lovin it!
Bottle belly anyone???? There's like an entire keg of milk in there!!!!
Carter LOVES his jungle-scape... he doesn't seem to mind at all that it is totally covered in his drool and spit up... It just blends in so well.
Just a quick pic with mom... this camera guy follows me everywhere.
This is a pretty recent picture of our pond. Andy and I dug and built it last year, not knowing that we had a stone quarry in our backyard. Our rose bush is now in full bloom, and we plan to install a rock border around the whole thing to finish it off.
These are some lillies from around our pond... we had more in our front yard as well... They're enormous and really pretty.
"One day, I'm gonna be this big!!!"What a WONDERFUL start to our summer!!!
Andy, Carter, and I went to Seguin to see lots of family and friends! We were able to have a fabulous, yet tad chaotic dinner with 3 of my closest friends, along with their husbands and babies, all of whom were born within months of one another. It was so much fun, and I would like to commend the staff at Trudy's in South Austin for putting up with 7 brand new parents and their 4 infants... THANK YOU!!! At one point 3 out of the 4 babies were crying all at the same time... Carter seemed to sleep through it all... Moms and Dads were up and bouncing around the whole restaurant, dozens of pictures were being taken, and I'm pretty sure our table was the only one that thought the whole thing was in any way cute... but I guarantee you it was :)
We also got to see Great Grandma Geri, and Carter put on quite a show of smiles and acrobatics the whole time for her to oooh and ahhh over... It was so much fun!
Of course, my mom and dad and family all loved his visit, and I think they even enjoyed mine and Andy's company as well :) Carter had his first swim ever at Brenda's on Sunday and absolutely loved it. He got to meet all kinds of family, in addition to a little cousin just a month younger. It was such a blast, and our summer has just begun!
