The Zoo, Disneyland and Carter CRAWLING!


We have been very busy the last month. Applying to med-schools, going to interviews, going to AZ and California. Carter learning to crawl- which as many of you know is a big deal! He crawled for the first time at 8 and 1/2 months and now this kid gets around everywhere. It's fun to watch him explore around the house. But, of course his favorite things to play with are not his toys- they are the trash cans, shoes, chairs, computer cords, night lights, phones (we don't let him play with these things obviously but he goes after them and quick).
Here are a few pictures of our adventures over the past month.
The first pics are from our trip to Cali with my family. We went to Disneyland and Newport Beach- Carter was not a huge fan of the airplane, but it wasn't full so he got his very own seat.
Disneyland was very festive for Halloween. It has been 9 years since I went to Disneyland but it was just as I remembered- AWESOME!
The whole fam
Killing time in line for rides by taking weird pics
I love this picture of Carter with Tigger, he is so HAPPY!
1st trip to Disneyland for Carter
Taking pics at the airport- we were a bit bored waiting for our flight, so what do we do? Take pictures of Carter of course.
Learning to crawl- so Carter started by scooting himself BACKWARDS. He would scoot himself all the way under the couch, well except his head wouldn't fit so he'd start whining once he was stuck. Pretty funny I have to say. But, now he's got the hang of it and he crawls forward not backwards.
See? Still smiling away! We love this happy boy
I love this pic because you can see Carter's two cute little teeth on the bottom
This is Cameron and Carter when we went home to AZ for Logan's UofA interview
Well do you think Grandma spoils this kid or what? Ha Ha we love you Grandma! And I know Carter does too.

At the Phoenix Zoo
I think these were goats, but they loved Carter they were trying to lick him through the gates.
What a cutie- I love his smile.
It has definitely been an eventful month. Carter is getting bigger. He's 9 months old, has two teeth, crawls, waves, laughs, growls (a lot) and at people- its hilarious, eats his baby food so much better, loves his parents, cuddles when he's tired, pulls on his hair when he nurses, sleeps through the night from 9pm to 7am (a miracle) and waves his arms when music is played. We love this kid so much.
Logan is done going to interviews as far as we know and now we are just waiting to hear back.
It snowed yesterday for the first time this year, so bring on the snowboarding and sledding!
I have a feeling it's going to be a cold winter.
Well, that is an update on our family!

What a fun month! That picture of Carter under the couch with his head sticking out is hilarious! Glad he's eating his baby food better.

Congrats on all the med school interviews. I'm sure you'll get into the school you want to! So exciting.

Wow, Carter is getting so old! He is so cute! Looks like a fun, and busy month! Good luck with interviews, that is exciting and nerve-racking at the same time :)
