Carter’s First Birthday
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
This post is a little late, but Carter’s first birthday was a blast! From his party, to the many generous presents, to the obvious highlight… Granny’s visit! Carter seemed to truly enjoy his special day.
Halloween!
Saturday, October 31st, 2009
Happy Halloween! Carter sure seemed to enjoy his first Halloween. Mommy & Daddy dressed up like pirates, and Carter was their trusty parrot. Thanks to Mommy he had the cutest costume ever! He seemed to enjoy every part of Halloween, from costume shopping (especially being able to walk around himself) to buying pumpkins, to the way Mommy decorated. Of course, his favorite was visiting some friends for Trick or Treat! You can see the whole album here.
2009 Sailing Club Awards
Friday, October 23rd, 2009
Carter enjoyed going to the Lake Saint Louis Sailing Club Awards Ceremony / Costume party. In a decision sure to cause long-term psychological damage, Daddy dressed as Princess Buttercup and Mommy was the Dread Pirate Roberts. Carter was our treasure. As much fun as we had, it was a little bittersweet as this was Carter’s first “second”. Hope you enjoy the gallery.
Carter Eating People Food!
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Finally! Carter is eating people food. We are overjoyed as parents, because now he is that much more self-sufficient. For a very long time he was upset with anything that did not have the texture of baby-jar food. Finally, one day while I was eating a bannana and holding him his interest was piqued and he tried some! Bananas are his favorite, and he seems to like pasta. He will eat Cheerios when pressed and is at least trying foods with different textures. Here are some pictures of him eating.
Boo! at the Zoo
Monday, October 19th, 2009
The St. Louis Zoo decorates for Halloween and opens up late. Carter begged us to go so we obliged. He seemed to really enjoy walking around and playing on the playground. He was very brave and enjoyed all the displays. Here are the pictures.
Carter goes to the Library
Monday, October 19th, 2009
Mommy was nice enough to sign Carter up for classes at the Library. In addition to enjoying books, Carter got to socialize with his peers and discover how wonderful bubbles are! Enjoy the pictures.
Playing with Leaves
Sunday, October 18th, 2009
Of course, one of the best parts of fall is playing with leaves! Now we just need to teach Carter to rake so he can take over for Mommy! Enjoy the pictures
St. Peter’s Rec-Plex Fall Triathlon
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
I once again signed up for the St. Peter’s Rec-Plex Fall Triathlon. The results were not all that pretty, 299/413 overall. I had more bike problems, as my brand-new front derailleur came off its shims the first time I shifted. This resulted in the derailleur grinding against the cassette. This worsened to the point I had to spend 10 minutes on the side of the road trying to fix it. Eventually I just had to bend it so it would no longer interfere. My frustration with the race was offset by a visit from Carter and Mommy who congratulated me on finishing. I definitely still have the triathlon bug, but I hope I am done with the equipment problems. Post-race pictures are here.
Ohio State @ Indiana
Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
Unfortunately, I can not get the Big Ten Network. That means I can’t watch all the Ohio State games… at home. Carter urged us to go to the local Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game, and I obliged. He seemed to enjoy the victory.
