Happy 20 months!

 

Happy 20 month old!!! 

My worst nightmare occurred a few days ago.  Carter manage to climbed out of his crib.  We went outside for a few minutes after they settled down in their beds for the night and never thought anything about it because once it is quite they are usually out.  I came back inside to a whaling child.  I ran toward the room realizing as I got closer that he was indeed standing at the door.  How??? I have no idea and thankfully he hasn’t done it sense.  I think it scared him enough that hopefully he will not try it again. 

Lila is saying more and more words…among the new ones are thank you, bubba, mommy, daddy, happy…..she pretty much tries to repeat anything we say!

Poor Madelyn is still turned around backward in her car seat because of her weight and as a result I think it is making her very sick.  She has been getting car sick more and more often and I can’t say I blame her…I feel sick just when I ride in the backseat…I guess she got it from me.

Daddy took a long holiday weekend and we spent it having lots of fun as a family.

Saturday we went to a splash park and invited our friend Izzy along.

Not sure if we are ready to jump in or not

On Sunday, we had some family time with Brad’s side of the family and even stayed up late enough to watch the fireworks

We played in the water all day long!

This stray dog kept coming up to the porch and everyone was shooing it away.  But Brad felt bad for her so her went out and gave her some lovin and the kids enjoyed petting her too.

Carter thoroughly enjoys getting Lila on the ground and then laying on top of her.  And of course like any boy he wont stop…he just keeps at it.
