Dectectives Binkie and Monkey to the Rescue

Cops Carter & Monkey are off for a ride


Fasten your seat belts, Carter is going REALLY fast



See....Noonie Cruz I REALLY DO play with my police car you and grandpa bought me for Christmas. It just took me 8 months to get around to playing on it.

Daddy's Turn

Carter sent daddy off to work today very happy. He gave daddy his special kisses today for the first time! xoxox

Momma's Boy Made My Day

Kisses, Kisses and more Kisses is what my darling son gave me today! Yep, after 17 months of me "loving" on him, he returned the favor. Now I have been getting not so "gentle" hugs now for awhile, but today when I gave a kiss to him, he gave me a wet one in return.

Carter you made my week. I love you to the moon and back xoxo

Pinned Down by Zippy

I swear this was not me trying to get a cute pose. This is more like Carter & Zippy (his favorite monkey pal) wrestling. Looks like Zippy won this match!!! Carter's arms are up in the air saying "uncle, uncle!" Typically the roles are reversed and Carter is chewing on Zippy's ears or tail while body slamming him.

Up to No Good

Well, I think we will be working on our table manners this week! Someone thought it would be funny to put his left over food on his HEAD! tisk, tisk....Mr. Carter.

This time it was behind daddy's back, NOT mommy's!

Brookfield Zoo

We met our friends the Minorini family (John, Mary, Olivia & Emma) at Brookfield Zoo today. The weather was absolutely beautiful out and the zoo was packed with lots of stroller and kiddo's. Carter took an unexpected nap while at the zoo, so he did miss seeing some animals. All in all though the ones he did see, he did really like! Sorry, we did not get a lot of good animal pictures! We were too busy chasing after our own little animal!





Carter & Daddy checking out the rainfall. Who needs animals when you can splish splash in the water?


Mommy & Carter checking out the BIG elephants. I think we just saw DUMBO!


Ok...so I had to sneak in one animal picture!





Monkey See...Monkey Do! Olivia is showing Carter a thing or two about monkey's!



Curious George "Carter" and his little cute side kick Emma walking around. The Curious George shirt deemed appropriate for wearing at the zoo. Emma is about 2 months younger than Carter. It was cute to watch them hang out!


The Sunday strollers.....Darrell, Carter, Emma & John on their way to the monkey exhibit


The carousel was Carter's favorite! He cried when our ride was over. Mr. Zebra was a cool animal to ride on !


Too cute! We took Carter's picture here last year as well. It is supposed to be a gorilla size t-shirt.


Beautiful Sting Rays swimming by...be aware of the little fingers that are trying to grab you!


Carter & Daddy are reaching in to touch a Sting Ray at the Sting Ray exhibit

Teeth, Teeth and More Teeth

Well poor little Carter had two more teeth pop thru tonight. He has quite the mouth full considering he was toothless up until 10 1/2 months of age.
Teeth status: 13 total
4 front top
6 front bottom
1 back bottom left molar
1 back bottom right molar
1 back upper right molar
Needless to say, Carty needed lots of mommy TLC tonight and tylenol!
