What I've been meaning to post

Carter in time-out. Coen just wanted to join him.





I've been a bit busy, but here - some photos!

Things that make you go hmmm..

We decided to hit the mall today as a family. Chris and Coen went in one store, Carter and I to another. Carter and I then headed to the other store to meet up with our guys.

Salesman: Can I help you?

Me: I'm just looking for my husband and other son
(We can actually see the entire store from where we are)

Salesman: In here? I haven't seen anyone with a kid. How old?

Me: He's one. I saw them come in here. You haven't seen a guy with a baby?

Salesman: No, (turning to his coworkers) have you guys seen a guy with a baby? - They all say no - What does your husband look like?

Me: He's a white guy with a black baby.

Salesman: OH! Yeah, they left about 10 minutes ago.

Me (I couldn't help it): So, you haven't seen a guy with a baby or a kid, but my husband and son left 10 minutes ago... thanks.

** I'm thinking he made some assumptions and was telling me that he had not seen MY husband and MY son.

Once reunited, we had a little party in Old Navy in front of a mirror

Quote of the day

After I let Carter know it was time for bed:

C: leeb me alone mom

Me: what did you say?

C with a smile: leeb me alone mom. I'm busy.

I couldn't help it. It was too cute and funny (and daddy wasn't home
yet) so he got to have more mommy snuggle time for a 1/2 hour.

cute quote overheard

As Carter was sitting at the table trying to get Coen to come eat with him:

Carter: Coen come eat. I sit by you. I love you.

Naptime

Let me explain what you are seeing here. This is Carter, climbing into Coen's crib and telling him to lay down so that he can cover him up. Once accomplished, he decides that he should climb back out. What you don't see if Carter telling Coen he will help him out of the crib once it is clear that Coen will not be sleeping. Mommy intervened.
