Moving Up to a Big Toy

When Carter was about 5 months old, we introduced him to a Baby Einstein jumper/exersaucer.  It was an awesome toy and he totally loved it.  Unfortunately, we didn't save it.  We didn't have a ton of storage space at the old house, nor did we know when we would be adding another member to the family, so we sold it on Craigslist as soon as Carter outgrew it.

 And now that Kendall has enough muscle control to hold herself up, we decided it was time to introduce her to the same type of toy.  However, these suckers are expensive and we aren't exactly living a lavish lifestyle at the moment.  So I used my trusty back-up.....Craigslist.  And I've been looking for the right one for a couple months now, and I finally found it!  It's the same set up as the one Carter used to have, only a little more girly.

 Still has the same features....music, mirrors, toys, and the seat turns all the way around.  So she can move herself to whatever toy meets her fancy for the day. 

 And she loves it as much as Carter did - I'm so happy about that!

Summertime....and the living's easy....

Here are some pictures from the softball games.

This is my spit ball. Is that even legal anymore?

Rockin' the walker. He seriously gets around in this thing amazingly well. Watch your bare feet....he's definitely an ankle crasher. Ouch!!

Off on his own.....cruising around the dugout.

Heeeyyyyy......fancy meetin' you here Uncle Dana!

Carter giving Dana some batting advice.

Are YOU Talkin' to Me?

I totally sport the new Fisher Price Flip Phone.

Seriously - with a face like that, how will I ever tell him no?

Walker, Texas Ranger

Ok, just kidding. But my mom did get Carter a new walker and he loves it! Right now, he's only cruising around the kitchen since it has hardwood floors....................and he only goes backwards. I'm sure before too long, he'll figure out that he can go forward too.

Little Drummer Boy

I swear, spending money on toys is worthless when your child is more than happy playing with plastic spoons. Here is Carter marching to the beat of his own drummer......well, he IS the drummer.

He lets his tongue hang out while he plays.

Another day, same spoons.
Rock on, brother!

Toys!

Eric's mom got Carter this toy for Christmas. He's just now able to sit up enough on his own to be able to play with this toy. He can reach the little keyboard and press the buttons for the music to play. His feet touch the ground, so I'm just waiting for him to start pushing himself back up and testing out his feet/legs.
