The most exciting thing that I can say about myself is that I cut 2 inches off my hair. Pretty sad, huh? Well, that's not true...I take that back! I actually started drinking this honey and cinnamon concoction twice a day that my friend Lee told me about. It makes me feel amazing and energized. If you want the exact measurements then just message me, it won't disappoint.
I also go to go meet my brand new nephew, Ryker. He's precious and looks just like big brother. If he ever grows into his big hands and feet then he is going to make big brother and cousin Carter look like midgets. They better start sucking up now.
I have really been missing my best friends here lately. I mean, I always miss them, but I really really miss them right now. It bites that I can't just pick up and go see them. Keatha lives in Oklahoma: 5 hours away. Holli lives in Dallas: 4 hours away. Toshya lives in Ohio: at least 15 hours away. Britni lives in Warren: 2 1/2 hours away. Kari, who just got married, lives in Canada: several plane rides away. Tonya and Elizabeth lives in....oh that's right, Nashville....We need to work on that!! There is so much going all with all of them it seems and I am missing it all. Any donations to pay for my way to go see them all is welcomed and appreciated.
Carter's wonderful. He's at a very fun age. Learning new phrases every. single. day! I give him a month or two and he will be saying full on sentences. He just talks constantly when he is at home. It took him a little longer, but he is finally about to get caught up with where he needs to be with his speech. Like any other toddler, he hates when I say no....to anything. Homeboy has an attitude. We're working on that.
He's still so smart. He can count to 40. If I give him the first 2 letters of his name he can finish spelling it out. He is having a lot harder time with his colors than he did with letters and numbers, but I think he is about to get them. Blue is by far his favorite color. He knows most of his shapes. He says "please" after he asks me to do something for him....it's so sweet!! We are now working on "yes mam".
Bedtime is a fight every night. He just don't want to go to bed. He wants to stay up and play. He's so silly!
Anyways, nothing exciting, I know. But that's all I have for ya.

Scrapper Football
We took Carter to his first football game of the year last night. He LOVED it!! He loved seeing all of the balloons go into the air. He kept saying, "Where balloons go? In the clouds?". He also loved all the big football players. During warm-up, he kept trying to run out on the field with them. He got so upset when we wouldn't let him. I'm pretty sure, though, that the popcorn was his favorite part. He sat with my mom during most of the game, which I'm sure was another favorite part for him. I'm pretty sure he loves her more than he loves me and Nick. He gave lots of hugs to people he didn't even know, which is very rare. I was proud of him.
One problem though. After we were there for about an hour he told us that he needed to pee pee. So I took him into the bathroom and he wouldn't use the big toilet. I then tried to just let him pee in the grass in a corner outside and he wouldn't do that either. He wanted his little potty at home. It's not like that thing can fit in his back pack or anything. Since I had a pull up on him, we went ahead and stayed at the game for another 2 hours. He wouldn't use his pull up (since he never wears a pull up, I think it made him very uncomfortable). So he finally got that panicked look in his eyes that he REALLY needed to go so we left the game early. Right when we got home he sprinted to his potty and went. Safe to say that he is fully potty trained....but only on his little potty. Any suggestions on how to the make the transition easier from little potty to the big one would be greatly appreciated. We won't be able to go anywhere without lugging the little potty around unless he gets this down.
Here's a good little story. Nick and I always joke with each other about who Carter loves more. Two nights ago, I asked Nick to put Carter to bed for me because I was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed early. So, Nick took him back to his room and the next thing I know Carter came running back into the living room crying. I asked Nick what was wrong with him and it nearly killed him to tell me that Carter said I. WANT. MOM!! Mom-1 Dad-0. I put him down with a big smile on my face.
AD and I have become real pathetic and lazy here lately on our workouts. But, come Monday we are going back at it. We made a deal not to cancel anymore unless we absolutely had to.
I'm hoping that by the next blog, I can tell you all about the new babies coming into the world. Can't wait to meet them!! Janice, Abbie, and Keatha......love ya'll. HANG IN THERE!! Praying for 3 healthy babies.
