More Pictures!

Update at Last

It has been long in coming, but here it is. Pictures and info! Delmon - He has two bottom teeth with two more on the way. He has perfected rolling over and is working on scooting (the first signs of crawling). He is so very happy and is always full of fun stories and giggles. He is a very good sleeper and will be getting his own bed very soon (tomorrow hopefully). He is getting so big. He hasn't been weighed for a while but my guess is he weighs about 19 pounds and 26.5 inches long. Our little boy is growing up so fast :( Madeline - She is loving being a big sister and is so wonderful at it. She has a big love of the water. The beach is her favorite place this summer. She has lots of words now. She can point to all of her body parts and knows a lot of animals and their sounds. She is a big ball of energy and loves to play on her personal jungle gym, Papa! She tried potty training for a day and was not ready, we will try again in a couple months. She loves gardening. She has put in more time in the garden than mom has.

The New Youngest Carter

Delmon James Carter was born at 8:43 am on Sunday, May 10th. He weighed 10 pounds 4 ounces and is 23 inches long. We are very happy to welcome him to our family. Madeline loves him! She gives him kisses all the time and will even share her beloved blanket with him when he cries (which isn't that often). He is a very laid back little boy. He sleeps about 22 hours a day and even when he is awake is happy to just chill out with the family.

She is a little monkey!!

Well it has been a long time in coming, but here is an update on Miss Maddie! She has been walking and running for the past 3 months now. She only sits still long enough to eat and draw. She loves sitting in her chair with a pen and paper. It was a surprise to us that she knew how to hold a pencil perfectly without being shown. Her favorite toy is a doll stroller that she pushes around the house carrying an assortment of things from a sauce pan to a ball. She has tried out a couple new activities lately, sledding and painting. As you can guess, sledding is her favorite... little adrenaline junky! She is getting so big. At her 1 year check up she weighed almost 22 pounds and was 32 inches tall. She currently has 11 teeth and is working on her last bottom molar. Her 1st birthday was a blast, she celebrated for about a month and got loads of presents. Her best present though was finding out that she will be getting a little brother in May. While she doesn't quite understand what that is yet she loves giving moms growing belly hugs. Although she is in a hugging and kissing phase now, which is so sweet. She is starting daycare 2 mornings a week for some kid interaction, which she craves. She will be with her best friend Sany and she is very excited about that. .
