Silly Boy

Carter decided the other day that he wanted to pick out his outfit so i let him. We weren't going anywhere so it wasn't a big deal. He chose this. Notice the socks with sandals. At least he halfway matches.


Then he decided to do some funny faces.




And here he is with his "baby" which happens to be a Christmas decoration he found in the closet. He carried it everywhere for like 2 hours and in this pic he is putting the baby night-night.

OMG Creepy!!!

Like I mentioned in another post, Brad and I went to St. Louis on Saturday for a Cardinals game. After the game we went to dinner and then to the casino; since I can't drink the bars would not be very fun. Anyways, we got there and Brad wanted to try his luck at Black Jack, even though he had never played before. I started watching him but decided to go play some slots. I walked around a little bit and tried a couple machines but wasn't doing very well, i was staying pretty even but not winning much. I started to get scared because it is a big casino and i am a small girl so i walked back to the Black Jack table and Brad wasn't there so i went back to playing slots. I was sitting there and some guy came up behind me and started talking to me. He was like "so are you having any luck?" I said, "Not really, just kinda messing around," and turned back around and kept playing. He wouldn't leave so i finished up and got up to go see if i could find Brad. Then he said he just wanted to introduce himself and that i was very pretty and that he and some of his buddies were going to go the Player's Lounge and invited me to go. I said "No thanks, I'm married" and ran off. I finally found Brad back at the Black Jack table. He had just gone to get a drink when i couldn't find him the first time. I told him about it and he was creeped out, too. We left soon after that. Ugh, and this guy looked like he was in his mid to late 30s, which isn't old, but i'm only 22 and look like i'm only 18 at the most. Gross!!

Cardinals Game

Brad and I went to a Cardinals game on Saturday for Brad's birthday present. Even though i'm a Cubs fan...oh well. Here are some pictures! It was freaking HOT during the first 3 innings, but after I had a sno-cone and the sun went behind the stadium it wasn't so bad. Cardinals won, so that's always good!! Unless they're playing the Cubs, of course! ;)

Fun in the Sun

I got a sweet deal on this firetruck swimming pool and since we don't really have much of a yard, i took it to my parents' house and set it up for Carter to swim. I also really needed sunlight so i thought i'd take the opportunity to lay out after i got him all worn out and down for a nap.

Watching it fill up:Climbing in:

Climbing back out b/c it was still too cold:

Running in the attached sprinkler. He loved it!

Blog Roll

I've looked at so many blogs just going from blog to blog that i forget who i have on my blog roll and when i go back to check, i forget who i was going to put on there. So if you are a reader of my blog and i don't have you on mine, just comment me and i'll add you to my blog roll!!

1st Appt!

I had my first doctor's appointment this morning and am happy to report that everything looks fabulous!! The baby is measuring exactly what it should be and my due date is February 15th! I just had a short appointment today where i just had to fill out a couple papers and had a quick ultrasound. I have the loooong appointment on the 30th where i have to get blood drawn, get an exam, etc. I HATE that part!!! I passed out almost everytime i had blood drawn when i was pregnant with Carter. Hopefully it won't be as bad this time around! Oh, and i weigh exactly what i weighed when i got pregnant with Carter, so although it is more than i would like, at least it isn't more than the first time around. Hopefully i can keep it under control!

Here is a very bad-quality picture of my ultrasound. I don't have a scanner, so it is just a picture of a picture:




And here is my 7 week picture. I need to start looking decent in these..i'm always skanky when i take them.
