Carter at 18 months

This little boy is growing up! I think he says a new word everyday!
At the doctor check up this week he still weighed 22 lbs and was 31 inches. He is low percentile for everything but doctor said he is ok and proportional.

Words that he started saying recently that show his toddlerhood: mine and no

It's really funny when he points to Rascal and says "no"!

He is kinda a picky eater but loves fruit and bread still! He likes to throw food more than eat it most of the time.

Has 10 teeth how!

Still goes to bed around 7 pm - 7 am, but has started pitching fits to not go to bed :( hopefully just a phase!

Likes to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and do hot dog dance at end. He even started saying "toodles" from a character on the show.

Wears 12-18 month and is in between a 3 and 4 shoe.

Likes to read books!

Whenever we leave somewhere like grocery store likes to yell "bye bye" to everyone.

He is still so sweet and just a delight of a little boy!

Memphis trip

Last weekend we went on a quick trip to Memphis to celebrate my good friend Bailey's birthday. It was a fun(left the kids at home) outing!
We stayed downtown and went to the amazing Restaurant Iris. It was an amazing food experience and of you go make reservations in advance! They only have 14 tables in there. Afterwards we had drinks at the swanky Madison hotel.

Home Renovations

We have been a mess around here with a full on home renovation. We got 22 new windows, our leaky sunroom ripped out and the wood trim wrapped in vinyl. We have been busy the past few weekends painting all the trim on the windows they put in. Here are some pictures...
Before and After of sunroom

A look at the inside-


New windows in our room, we are still trying to decide on window treatments.





We have also been doing our own updates on some light fixtures and painting doors.
Here is the detached garage updates-
