Life's Like a "Jolly Jumper".. Up down Up down

More ups than downs though.... since Carter was born he has A.L.W.A.Y.S been a V.E.R.Y active baby. He never likes to lie down (even when your holding him) he always has to be sitting in his bumbo chair, on his belly, watching Baby Einstein or standing up while you hold him. He now L.O.V.E.S his Jolly Jumper which is awesome for me because it's kinda like a little babysitter while I'm making dinner or tidying the house. It is for-sure one or his very favorite things to do. He is happy to jump around for 30-45 minutes at a time and still smiling at the end of it all!

Thank you Uncle Tony & Aunt Sue so much for the Jolly Jumper it truly is one of our very favorite things! And thank you to Nodira who got us the fun Jolly Jumper Matt that Carter loves to look at, you guys are great!

Carter also has been loving his toys lately...


It is so much fun to play with him. Lately brian and I have really been testing out our little boy's skills. We have got him to sitting on his own for about 30 seconds at at a time.


We put some of his toys in front of him and he just sits there and looks at them... wondering... how can I touch that and put that fun looking thing in my mouth!? Then he will turn his head and look at us...


and because Carter has crazy parents who constantly are singing the Skinamarinky dinky dink song .. we get this...


A beautiful smile! We are so proud of you Carter, you are getting so strong. You are such a busy boy and mommy knows she is going to need a pair of roller-skates to keep up with you when you start crawling and walking (or should I say running).


As for my workout update my weigh in last week was.... the same as the previous week.. no weight gain, no weight loss but I'm feeling good and thats what matters. I know that the last few pounds are going to be the hardest so Brian has a really awesome workout plan on his iphone for me to do 3 times a week that is bound to help. Thanks babe! That is the one thing that you really need when you create a goal.. support from those around you and I could not have asked for a better husband to support me.. you are my everything Bri I love you!
