Still A Hit



Carter got an invitation into the Moses basket this morning! I'm not sure who had the most fun!!!

Stylin'


Maury loves a shoe. Any shoe will do. She always wants to put hers on or carry them around. Yesterday she was thrilled to notice my closet door open! She pulled out half a dozen pair and selected these to go with her dress.

Moses Basket

This morning I was getting the humidifier out from under Maury's bed (Carter has had a cold for two weeks that is now a double ear infection and I just now remembered to get it out) and she found her Moses basket from when she was itty bitty. I never got it out for Carter. Probably a good thing, I doubt he would have fit into for long and it would have made him easy access to Maury. Anyway, she was highly entertained by the new bed for her and her babies!

Seasick Car-Ker

Carter's first experience in the Johnny Jump Up was a little rocky thanks to my super sweet helper! This was a few days ago, I'm a little behind on blogging.

Sitting Around


Yesterday I heard Maury whining loudly from her room and when I went to check on her she had pulled her rocker out into the middle of the room and she looked and me and said "CHAIR!" I helped her up in the chair and she opened up the book she had in her hand and grinned!


I'm trying to get a jump start on Carter's sitting-up milestone b/c I know it may be a little difficult for him since he has so much weight to support. I must say he is doing quite well.

Playdate @ McWane!

Maury had lots of fun yesterday meeting Henry, Olivia and Lily at the McWane Center. They all did lots of climbing and sliding in the "Just Mice Size" area, got really wet at the water table, and explored all of the "Little Magic City." We grabbed lunch on the way out, Maury fell asleep on the ride home, then I moved her to her bed where she stayed for the next 4 hours! Migi was in town for a visit so Carter got some special one on one time at home!

Excuse me please.......

HOW ABOUT A LITTLE ALONE TIME?




Carter loves his big sister but sometimes he needs a little break. Maury, I really think he appreciates all of your hugs and kisses. Plus, you always try to help him when he loses his passy (not meaning to add your germs in). What a lucky baby he is! Carter is really sweet to tolerate this "love and helpfulness."

Check-Ups


Carter: 18 1/2 lbs, 26 1/2 in


Maury: 25 lbs, 33 1/4 in

Whew! Today we had Maury's 18 month check-up and Carter's 4 month. Thank goodness Mimi came to assist......2 babies, 7 shots, not something I could handle on my own! They really did well. Both are growing like weeds, especially Carter. He may pass Maury in a few months!

Sisters


Just getting around to posting this pic from our short visit with the Wise's last weekend. Charlotte decided that since she and Maury only have brothers they could be sisters. So here is a cute picture of the sisters sporting their matching swimsuits in Char's pink Mustang!

Girlfriends




Today Maury and I picked up her friends Olivia and Lily (and their Mommies Tori and Ashley) and headed to Alabama Adventure for a 1/2 day of fun! Carter thought it would be too hot for him so he stayed home with a sitter (and Mommy couldn't manage two babies at the water park). The sweet girls played hard, had a picnic lunch, played some more and 2 out of 3 were sacked out before we got back on the interstate!

Meet the Teacher





Last night we went to "Meet the Teacher" at Homewood Day School where Maury and Carter will start Mother's Day Out in September. After meeting their teachers we went to see their rooms. Maury wanted to stay and play! And to add to the excitement, Maury's nap mat arrived at our door this afternoon!
The last picture has nothing to do with school. Just realized this week Carter is getting big enough for his exersaucer and he loves it!

Happy 4 Months Carter!

Carter 8-4-08


Maury 6-12-07


Carter is 4 months old today. I'm posting a pic of him trying rice cereal for the first time and Maury's same pic when she was 4 months. Maury made terrible faces, I'm guessing because it was strange and new to her. Carter only made a face and fussed when I took the spoon away to snap a picture! He wanted his cereal in a hurry!

Sleeping Beauty


Maury is usually an early riser but not today! She went to bed at 7:30 last night and just woke up at 8:30 this morning! I wish her brother would take some sleeping lessons from her, he was up and ready to go at 5:30 am!
