Carter's 1!

Our baby boy turned 1 on May 20th.  We went down to Safford for the weekend and had his party at my mom's house.  Right after we got there he started feeling sick and was pretty sick all weekend.  Luckily he felt okay for the party and had fun.  He had a high fever and was not sleeping well and you could just tell he didn't feel good.  When we got home he developed a rash and the doctor figured out he had roseola.  We had a good time in Safford and Thatcher as always.  It's crazy that Carter has been here with us for a year.  I've loved evey minute of it.  He's been a good baby even though he hasn't quite slept through the night yet.  He's had more hospital/doctor visits than Sienna but we're so glad he's overall healthy.  He's an easy-going sweetheart.  He loves his blanket and uses it to go to sleep or when he just needs comfort.  He stuffs it in his mouth.  He searches to find the right spot to chew on.  He loves swimming and baths.  He's not walking yet, just standing by things and he can stand by himself for a few seconds.  He has four teeth.  He weighs 21 1/2 pounds and is 29 1/4 inches tall.  He's a great eater and is loving eating table food.   At his party he ate his whole cupcake.  He was just shoving it in his mouth.  I was glad that he liked it.  All of the family helped with the party.  My parents just got a new swingset/playset in their backyard and the kids loved it.  It was a fun time.

Carter loves balls.  Poor baby, you can tell he doesn't feel very good in this picture.
