CHICKEN POX!

This week Carter got Chicken Pox.  He got the vaccine a week ago at his 12 month Doctor appointment,  however, since the incubation period is 10-21 days, he probably already had it when he got the shot.

Date Night!
We got an invite to a local Medical Society meeting/dinner.  We had a lot of fun there with some of our friends.

Carter practicing tying shoes....or rather, untying shoes.

Riding the train!

Trying out Dad's new OMM table, aka Carter's runway.

We love the park!  Here we are riding on the purple dinosaur, Carter's favorite.

"Car rides make me so tired."

Carter loves to sing and dance with Mom's ipod.

(the video is kind of long, he does most of his dancing at the beginning and end).

Scaring your child:  There's an app for that.

Learning to share...sort of.

Birthday Time and other fun

Recently MWU had their annual White Coat ceremony.  This is a big day where all of the first year students get their fancy doctor jacket.  These are some of our friends on the big day.

Peak-a-boo...I can still see you, but you're blue!

"It's gonna blow!"

Playing Fetch.  Who needs a dog?

Carter helping dad prepare for his anatomy test.

Piano duels.

"I love rocks!"

October 13, 2012, 8:00 AM.  The first time we actually had to wear a jacket in Arizona.  Dad still has not succumbed.

Going shopping for birthday cake.  

Carter: "Pringles are sure tasty!"

Alicia: "You ate them all?!"

Raising the Dark Knight...nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh BATMAN!

The Birthday Celebrations
Since both grandmas and Carter's grandpa Batty were down for the White coat ceremony we had some of his birthday celebration a little early.  Unfortunately, with both grandma's taking pictures we completely spaced to take them.  Hence the lack of photos for that time....sorry.

Carter getting ready to start his first art project.  

The final product.

Birthday dinner.  Chicken nuggets, tater tots, and green beans.  

PRESENTS!!!!

Carter picked this one out himself.  We held up 4 different colors and he tapped on the green one.  That was good enough for us.

Carter loves to steal the remotes.  Grandma and Grandpa Batty gave him his very own.  He was pretty happy that he didn't have to share anymore.

Carter puts everything in his mouth...Everything...except the toothbrush.  

Carter testing out his new Toy Story bubble bath.

The train.  Ever since Carter played with one of these at his friend's house, he has been pushing everything around the house.  Grammy got the hint and got him a train for his birthday. 

Party Time!!!

Let them eat cake!

Shove the cake in...use a spoon for the ice cream.

No more cake?!

Riding the horse at Peter Piper Pizza.

Thank you Danny for the monkey.

Riding forward facing for the first time.  Not a fan.  He loves it now though.  He was just tired after all the fun.

Cousins on a train. 

Carter finds a new way to use the train.

These are a few of my favorite things...

The Sound of Music according to Carter.

"My Favorite Things"

Cooking in aprons

and doing some sliding

Fixing the stroller

and finding Dad hiding

hitting the big pole and hearing it ding

These are a few of my favorite things.

Upside down tables

and learning to bake

Pushing the basket

and Bug eating cake

Stealing Mom's ipod and making it ring

These are a few of my favorite things.

Playing with car keys

and dads fixing bikes

Grabbing the camera

and throwing some strikes

Trying to balance while standing on swings

These are a few of my favorites things.

When the dog bites

When I get stuck

When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favorite things

and then I don't feel so bad.

So long

Farewell

auf Wiedersehen

Good bye

The sun

has gone

to bed and so must I.

Good bye!
