Carter turned 3 in July! WOW~ I couldn't believe it. We had a great day. His day was on a Sunday, so what a better way to spend that sunday than with Family. We had dinner at my sister's house and had ice cream and cake afterward. It was wonderful. At the time, Carter was overly obsessed with Rockets. I tried my best... I think I failed, but to a 3 year old- it was the greatest cake ever. Carter is growing and developing like crazy. He loves his numbers, ABC's and reading books. He is very imaginative. He is constantly doing voices or making things talk. He has a great sense of humor. Carter loves his family and is (most of the time) tender and sweet with Chase.
Chase turned 1 in August. It was a wonderful time to have a pool party. My in-laws were moving in just a few weeks, so we had to use it up as much as possible. Chase loves the pool. He is a very active child, so it is hard for him to not be able to do his own thing... my cousin brought this and it made his life a little better. The last year has gone so fast. Chase has such a sweet and happy attitude, that the last year has been amazingly happy and wonderful. Chase walks, runs, screams, runs, screams... and bites. That's right. He bites. He has a little temper and will let you know when he wants you to know something... :) Chase loves food and will eat anything you give him. He loves Carter and is constantly copying and doing whatever it is that he is doing.At birthdays I sit and think about my boys. I love them more than I thought possible. I remember when Chase was born, I was scared I wouldn't love this beautiful child the same way i loved Carter... I was very wrong. I couldn't love Chase or Carter more. What a wonderful gift it is to be a mother. I get to be home. I get to play with them. I get to read them stories and watch their minds take in the world. I get to help them love life and its creator. I have a dear dear friend who is sharing her journey on her struggle to become a mother. I look at people that go through similar trials and I feel for them, but i also want them all to know that when they do get that special one that will come to them, naturally or through adoption... they will be wonderful parents and their children will be incredibly lucky to have such amazingly determined good people as their parents who would sacrifice anything for the love of their child.
BATH TIME!!!! and SHARK HAIR!
