Rolling!

Carter started rolling the other night! He did it three times that night and has done it every night since when we put him on his belly! He is growing up to fast and I'm sure he is already going to be crawling before we know it. He tries to, he sticks his lil bum up in the air and pulls one leg under him, but he still can't quite figure it out. I would post the video but my computer won't open the file for some reason, when I get figured out I will be sure to post the video!
Well I had my birthday a week ago. I turned 21! It was a good night, just dinner with the family and relaxation. Derick and I went to dinner and to see Valentine's Day the next night. We had a good time, I didn't make him watch a total chick flick like I had planned on doing. LOL but he was a trooper and watched this one with me, it was actually pretty good and funny also. We just spent Valentine's Day with our families and dinner with my family and Grandpa. . . My Grandpa Larson.
I have to talk about my wonderful Grandpa. He is the best guy I have ever known, He use to live in Nampa all while I was growing up and we would visit him and vice versa. till the last few years and before he moved back to town, we hadn't seen each other. He moved back in 2008. He is getting "older", as age does happen to us all. He wasn't able to maintain his house in Nampa anymore and decided to move closer to family so that we could help him out. It's been great to have him back around. He comes over to mom and dad's every sunday for dinner. We all get together and have a nice home cooked meal that my mom makes. We call Sunday  "Father's day" I love having him around, He does the best he can. I think the " old age " gets to him and makes me a "grumpy old man" but I still love him with all my heart. He keeps to himself and stays pretty quite on that sunday, but he enjoys having the time to be with his family. He is a great guy and at 88 years of age he just keeps on truckin each day. brings the good in with the bad and makes the best of what he has. I love that he has been here to see Carter and watch him grow. Carter loves seeing him and smiles and laughs whenever Grandpa makes noises at him. I'm so glad that he is able to watch Carter grow.
That is a little more from my life and what I have been thinking about! Its been a great week this week!

Baby Pictures. 3 days old till 3 months!



HI! This is my first blogg and I will admit, it's pretty confusing. But I want to be able to look back on it like a scrapbook and remeber all the pictures and memories it will hold. So here we go.

I want to start off from the day Carter Steven Adams was born, November 13th 2009. He came into the world fighting! He did not want to come out, literally i guess he was shaking his head "No" the whole wait out! He weighed 7 lbs 4 ozs and was 21 inches long! He had quite the conehead but still very handsome! He has grown so much!! He just turned 3 months on the 13th. A few weeks ago at his appt he weighed 12 lbs and was 23 1/2 inches long. He was in the 50%tile for this weight and 75%tile for this height. He has gotten to hold his head so well now. Sitting up is almost accomplished as well. He loves sitting in his new Boppy Pillow! That pillow helps them out alot. He will lay back and pull him self up and just repeat it over and over. It helps with laying on their bellies as well. He hasn't quite got the roll over down. He has done it once but hasn't been able to do it again yet. =) He will get there soon! He is always smiling and TALKING! I can already tell we are gonna have a little jabber jaw on our hands. He coos and growls and hums all the time. He is noticing he has feet and toes which is fun to watch cause all he does is stare at them as he moves them, with his eyes getting wider!
His dad sure loves him to pieces! He was so ready to be a dad, it may of come earlier than he hoped but he is a great dad! Carter already has him wrapped around his finger. Carter won't fuss for longer than 2 SECONDS and Daddy Dekie comes running to the rescue! It is so wonderful to watch them play together and learn from each other!
My parents absolutly adore him. He is there 3rd grand kid but pretty much like the first. They dont get to see the other two cause they live in Wyoming, so they missed all these fun stages. But they are loving every second of it now. My in laws love having a new baby. It's their 12th grand kid but very happy to have him here. Everyone from Deke's family fights to get to hold Carter next. They are all baby crazy and in love with him. He is so spoiled rotten from both sides!
We love every second with our little Carter babe and wouldn't trade it for the world! Here is a look at some pictures from when he was born till 3 months old!
