Go Cardinals!

Well we took Carter to his first tailgate party this weekend. Weather is great here so it was nice to sit outside grill sausages & have some drinks with crazy football fans. Carter & I skipped the game, but Shawn went with some of our friends — he was 8 rows in, & said it was pretty impressive (he said he could see the cheerleaders really well).

Had mom’s night out last night. Went to a place called “Super suppers”. Great idea, a group of us went to preassemble a bunch of dinners to put in our freezers. They supply all ingredients, recepies, & clean up;  plus they put out appetizers & wine… now that’s cooking!! Was a great time, plus I came home with six dinners.

American Thanksgiving this weekend. Grandma & grandpa D, great-grandpa(Opa), Tom, his girlfriend, & a friend all arrive on Friday.. to see Carter, oh yeah & Holden, then maybee Shawn & I. Should be fun. I am looking forward to having a babysitter so we can go to a happy hour or two. Shawn is looking forward to all the cooking I will be doing. It will be a busy week.

Some new video for grandma

Last weekend was fun. Out for lunch with friends, a little christmas shopping, & a BBQ thing for Shawn’s work. Carter was in a great mood at the BBQ so he put on quite the show. He can be quite the little flirt when he wants, & he didn’t seem to mind being passed around. I now have a new pet peeve: Why do people let babies put there hands in their mouths? I know baby hands are cute, but no need to open your mouth, because you know from your mouth that hand is going back in his mouth. Next time some strange lady hold him & does something gross, I may just have to be blunt, but this time I casually pulled out a wipe & gave Carter a once over. 

Not much new. Carter & I have been busy going to our playdates to keep busy, on friday we go to the zoo. Can’t say I miss work too much, but its time to take the plunge. This Saturday, I am going to work for the first time since Carter was born. I am hoping things go well. Carter still doesn’t like the bottle, so it may be a challenging day for Shawn. 

American Thanksgiving is next weekend, & my parents, grandfather, brother, girlfriend & friend all arrive next friday. So Carter should have endless amounts of attention.  Grandma D has requested some video to tide her over for the next week, so here it is. The first video is Carter & Holden. Carter is very aware of Holden, & visits or playtime with Holden is always full of smiles & laughs. Poor Holden is quickly learning that Carter can now pull & grab with painful strength. The second video shows Carters distaste for green beans. Feeding babies new food is pretty amusing.
