Cracker, anyone?

Carter has really mastered this food thing. He loves his rice crackers!! At first, he would just bite off a piece, gum it a little bit, and spit it out. Now, he is really good at actually taking a bite, chewing it/gumming it, and swallowing it! It's still a mess, but at least not quite as big as it was at first. Here are some pictures I took tonight of the art of baby cracker eating.

Wedding Update

So, it's been a while since I posted an update on the wedding plans.

Eric's mom has ordered all of the supplies for the invitations. The last thing we are waiting on is a specialty cutter thing - I can't remember what it's called - that comes in on the 14th or so. Then we can officially start putting all the invitations together. It's turning out to be a lot cheaper than just ordering pre-made invitations.

The tuxedos have been selected. They are going to look really nice - the groomsmen will have black jacket/pants/tie, ivory shirt, and periwinkle vest. I think it's going to look really good. And then Eric will have black jacket/pants, ivory shirt, and ivory vest. The ivory on ivory looked really good. I'm not sure what he's going to do about a tie - either black or peri I guess. And the ushers will have just a basic black on ivory tux.

All the supplies for the centerpieces have been ordered and should be in - the mirrors came in yesterday, I think the floating candles are coming in today. All the vases are being stored at my grandmother's house.

I picked out my shoes yesterday. I will have to order them and I'm really hoping that I am able to wear these shoes all night without killing my feet. I'm not concerned about the heel, just my toes getting squished. I guess we'll just have to see! And I'll have to get a more comfy, back-up pair just in case! Here is a picture of the shoes - which will be dyed ivory.

Random Fact #21

I am a nerd.

I am one of those people that loves school. I love learning - especially about a subject that fascinates me. I am a good test taker. I can write papers in one night. That would really piss people off. They would spend weeks and weeks on their papers, and I could sit down in one night and write the whole thing. Writing comes very naturally to me. I took a creative writing class in school and loved it. I love reading. I take excellent notes - and people constantly want to borrow/refer to them. Even to this day! I am very organized - I even have a filing cabinet at home.

Weekend Recap

Here are some pictures from this weekend. Carter was pretty fussy - I think he might have yet another ear infection and is attempting to get pink eye....which I am heading off at the pass (hopefully).

Carter had an insanely dirty diaper....so we stripped him down, and he got to chill in the bathroom sink while the bath was running. P-U!!

Getting There!

He's having so much fun with this!
