Carter's 18-month Check Up

Today we went to the doctor for Carter's 18-month appointment, and all looks great! Height: 31 1/2 inches (30th percentile) and weight: 23.5 lbs (20th percentile). Braden better watch out...Carter is only 10 pounds less than him! Here he is with Dr. Costello (our awesome pediatrician):
Dr Carter here!
Maybe a doctor-in-training...?

Sunny with a Chance of Snow

After snowing all morning while we were at MOPS, it became a beautiful and sunny afternoon! I couldn't deny Braden the chance...for the first time in a long time...to play outside!

Sunday School

Braden is now in Sunday School and loves it! They sing songs, have a lesson, a craft, and snack; much more structured than the infant play area. Sorry the pic is not very good (and you can only see the back of Braden's head next to the girl turned around)...I thought it was so cute the way he sat down so nicely and thought I'd take a quick picture without bothering everyone, so it's a bit blurry.

Happy Birthday Stella and Kendall!

Fun afternoon at Stella and Kendall's birthday party at the YMCA!

Braden's First Dentist Appointment

We've been planning on taking Braden to the dentist forever, but our dentist here kept telling me to wait until 3 1/2 (unless we thought he had teeth problems), because at 3 1/2 they could do a cleaning too...so, yesterday was the day! Braden did great!

Marco Farmer's Market

Every Wednesday Marco Island has an amazing Farmers market, which is the best place around to get fresh fruits and veggies. They also have great baked goods and lots of things to taste :)

Day at the Beach

Gorgeous day for the beach! We met up with a bunch of the ladies and kids from the church, played at the beach park, had a wonderful lunch, and then beach time!

A time to Fly

Bonnie and Mike's good friend owns a T-28 and offered to take Scott up for a flight! So much fun...he even let Scott land! Braden thought the tail hook was cool---uhoh!!!...
