So I put the Cheerios in the bowl, and Carter leans in, lifts the little plastic part, and shouts "Pee-Pie!" (like peekaboo) to his cheerios!!
It was so cute; I almost died ;)

I told you he was smart
Carter woke up smiling this morning, which made me happy because I wanted to leave early to go vote. Well, he asked for some "cheery-ohs" so I put some in his snack trap that looks like this :

We Voted!
Carter and I hit the polls early this morning. While we waited in line, I asked if he could say "vote" and he answered by shouting "VOTE!" to everyone in the gym at Milton Elementary School.
So we voted. Did you?
(a flash from the past - last year's election! I'll have to get a new pic with his sticker from this year. He totally voted for the sticker.)

College Game Day
We hit the UL Homecoming Game on Saturday. Carter loves some "foo-ball" so it was the perfect outing, and the weather was awesome!! Dutton and his parents were even able to come, so we really had a great day. We got out there early, had some chili at the Pegasus tent, then headed over to the Gaspard/Dubois/DeHart tent to hang out with Shaq and Wee-yum.
Carter didn't nap for most of the day, so we hung out outside the game when he finally did crash, but he was excited to head into the stadium and kept pointing out the "foo-ball!"

Harry Carter!!
Carter's first Halloween last year was uneventful, to say the least. He dressed as a pepper (hated it!), we drove to show Amie/PaRandy & Meme/Pop...that was it. Here's a pic to refresh your memory:
So this year was a lot more fun....Harry Potter arrived at our house! Carter actually liked his costume!! He LOVED the wand (it lit up and made noises when he swung it), liked his robe, and tolerated the glasses long enough to get some pictures. The tie he wore was none other than Ryan's first-communion tie. It had a zipper that opened and closed when you pulled it! It was awesome and the perfect finishing touch.
When we headed out to trick or treat, I encouraged Carter to go on and get some candy. Our neighbor said, "Hi! Do you want some candy?" to which Carter replied, "No!" We laughed but he refused to take candy, reach in the bowl, put his candy in the "bumpkin" bucket, or say trick or treat. He still seemed to have fun, even if he was acting a bit shy.

Well, it only took a year and 3 months...
But I finally finished Carter's 1st Year Scrapbook! I tried a couple of different websites, including My Publisher and Picaboo, but I was never happy with the software, it took forever, and I got frustrated.
Then I found scrapblog.com. I loved how customizable it was and how fun it was to use. I finished his book, amidst all the sadness that came with this week, in only a little over a week.
It plays kind of fast embedded here, but if you click on the scrapblog link and then hit full screen, you can slow it down a bit.
Enjoy.

Pumpkin Patch v.2
Today was yet another gorgeous day, so we decided to try our hand at some more pumpkin patch pictures. Miss Julia and her mom Lindsay were already heading out there, so Ryan and I rushed out the door this morning to get there in time to visit!
Unforunately, Carter wasn't feeling very well, but he had fun anyway. He crashed afterwards though; let's hope he's feeling better soon!
The pumpkin patch was really cute - they had a fun jump, face painting, snacks/food for sale, pumpkins for sale (of course), and a little maze. They also had a mini zoo with ducks, chickens, goats, and a baby pig named Bella. Both Julia and Carter identified Bella as a "dog!!" We need some more diverse animal books, I guess.
Here are some pics of our lovely day!
He definitely loves his BFF Julia!
Looking for the perfect "bump-in"
Being silly:
Don't tell Julia's dad that she's kissing boys!!
Carter insisted on pulling this wagon around the whole festival...

15 month stats
Carter had his 15 month checkup with the wonderful Dr. Huval on Thursday. He cried the minute we walked in the exam room! He must have remembered it from his last appointment. Luckily the nurse allowed him to play with her pen and all was right with the world again. Here are his stats:
Height : 32 inches (75th percentile)
Weight : 25lbs 8oz (70th percentile)
I guess that explains why my back hurts all the time!
So Dr. Huval comes in and Carter decides to put on his show, announcing and pointing out in random order:
Elmo!
Pen!
Paper!
Button!
Eye!
Toes!
Shoes!
Sock!
Ball!
Notice the exclamation point because Carter only speaks in exclamations. Dr. Huval chatted with him a bit, and he even cried when she left! She is really such a wonderful pediatrician and we feel so lucky to have her. She's super patient with Carter and with us, and always takes her time when we are there to see her. We love her.
Carter got one immunization shot and got his first flu shot, so let's cross our fingers for a healthy winter.

German Fest!
So for a while now we've been hearing about the German Fest in Robert's Cove, but we've never had a chance to attend. This year, it just fell on a gorgeous weekend so along with our friends Chris and Jill, we made the trek out there. It's out in the country, but the grounds are really nice and we had a great time. Imagine the May Fest with German beer :)
It cost $6 to get in (if you are over 16). My favorite part about it was that there was a huge toddler play area - Carter had a great time! There was chalk to draw on the sidewalks, a mini-train the kids could ride, toddler slides, a sand pit, and several fun jumps. Carter also impressed the crowds by shouting "bee-uh" at appropriate intervals...ask Josie, she'll vouch for it!
