Just like daddy....

Well, I think Collin may be well on his way to being an architect like his daddy. I walked in to find this nice cityscape built on the fireplace. I had to call Josh to check and see if he had helped him with this, but he said he didn't. I was pretty impressed. Modus Studio may have some competition!

The Three Amigos

My nephew Hudson came over for a few hours yesterday afternoon. It's so fun to watch these three interract. I can't imagine all the things these guys are going to get into!

Collin kept getting down in the floor on their level and saying, "Look at me babies! Booga! Booga! Booga!" He's quite the comedian and his audience loved him!

I smell trouble.....or was that just Carter's diaper??

Collin kept wanting to give Hudson kisses.

Looks like he had a great time!

Fall Leaves

I love this time of year. The beautiful leaves, the smell of fall scented candles, hot spiced tea, etc......I took the opportunity to get some cute pics of Collin this weekend playing in the leaves at my parent's house. He was having such a good time. Carter missed this little photo shoot. He was busy napping inside.

He was checking out a ladybug on a leaf.

Pumpkin Patch

We finally made it out to the pumpkin patch this year! Collin absolutely loved it! He was so excited when we got there. I'm not sure if he was more excited about all the pumpkins or all the hay. He ran around the pumpkin patch finding pumpkins like it was an Easter Egg hunt. He thought he was going to get to keep all the ones he found. He was throwing them in the wagon like it was nobody's business! Carter was more interested in trying to put all the stuff in his mouth...hay, gourds, you name it.

Me and my sweet boys

They had a large field of red maple trees and I caught Collin in this picture just roaming around in his own little world.....

This was his favorite....the hay tunnel!

My "sweet cheeks" Carter...

I l.o.v.e. this one!

My 3 favorite guys....

I think if Carter's sweater was orange you wouldn't be able to distinguish him from the pumpkins! ha!

Playgroup

Today we went to Playgroup at our church, The Church at Pinnacle Hills. We got to paint pumpkins which Collin was soooo excited about. He's a typical boy that loves to make messes! We lucked out and happened to have a pumpkin growing on the other side of our fence from all the pumpkins we threw over there last year! So we took a cute little green pumpkin. As you will see, it ended up being black because Collin put so many layers of paint on it. He made quite the mess, and it took a few hours for it to dry. Thanks to my friends Beth & Jeniffer for taking these pictures for me! Yes, hard to believe, but I actually forgot my camera!

Here he is with paint already on his forehead....

This is Collin with his buddy Tayton.

This is my friend Beth and her little guy Tayton. We used to work at the bank together and were pregnant at the same time. Tayton is about 3 weeks younger than Collin. They are going to be moving to Oklahoma in a few weeks, so we are going to miss them terribly!

So he's a little jealous.......

Ok, so Collin informed me that he wanted a picture of him and Lexi on here, so here it is.....

Forgot to post this one on the last post. Isn't this just adorable?? I was able to capture this a couple of weekends ago. I just love those little tushies!!

6 Months Old!

Well, our little man Carter is 6 months old! At his 6 month checkup he already weighs 19 1/2 lbs and is 26 1/2 inches long! I love my chubby guy!! I can't believe we are already half way to his 1st birthday! I still remember Collin's first birthday so clearly, so it's really hard to believe that I already have another baby approaching that milestone.
Carter is such a happy little guy. He is really babbling a lot now. We think he's really close to saying "Da-da". We've heard him say something a couple of times that sounded like that. Collin said his first word at 6 1/2 months, so we're betting that it will happen very soon! He is sitting up really well now and is SOOO close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth. He finds it much more helpful to inchworm his way across the floor on his belly. I think Carter may be my "picky" eater (like his dad). He doesn't really care for any green veggies right now. I have to sneak in some fruit with it when I try to feed it to him. We are having a blast with him, and it is so fun to watch him and Collin interract together now. Collin loves to make him laugh, and Carter thinks he's just the greatest big brother.
We love you Carter Evan!

Love those chubby rolls!!

Collin was making him laugh in this one.

Sitting up!

Almost crawling....

Our happy little guy
