| Wow...it really has been a while since my last post! I've joined the throngs on Facebook, and apparently haven't looked back...since August anyway. So this is a big week of appointments for Carter. He is having his hearing checked Tuesday afternoon since he isn't saying more than a couple of words yet. Lots and lots (and LOTS!) of babbling, but words - not so much. I'm not too concerned, since he follows commands and does lots of signing, but I'm happy to go through the evaluation in case there is anything that we can be doing in the meantime. Then on Friday morning, he is going to have his tear duct cleared - I didn't realize until talking to a friend that this involves anesthesia. So I'm a little nervous, but know that it will be ok. And Jamie's going to take the day off to be with us, which is nice. What else? I have a new job - as a project manager in the online marketing team. Still BestBuy.com. It's going really well, and I'm enjoying it too. The pay increase is also nice.  Running another 5K this Saturday...even though it's going to be cold. I'm going to have to get used to it, since I've committed to run a 5K every month until next September. Then I'll have done one per month for a whole year. I'm taking an online photography class that starts next Monday - I'm SO excited for it! I'm really looking forward to getting better pictures, and there's a little part of me that hopes that maybe someday I can take children and family photos as a side job. We'll see... | | |
| 10 things Carter does right now that I LOVE: - Tackles Tucker in order to "cuddle" him
- When he's ready for bed, he will bury his head in my shoulder and put his arms straight down
- Thinks that picking up his mega blocks is fun
- Is ok with me wiping his hands before taking him out of the high chair
- Waves goodbye at the TV when an episode of The Backyardigans is ending, and they say "See ya later!"
- "Helps" Daddy with a lot of things, but really loves to help with the sprinklers
- Is really good about going up to bed at bedtime - when we say "Let's go upstairs" he can't go fast enough
- Clinks his extra pacifiers together before falling asleep and when waking up
- Finds joy in pointing out the bubbles on a page of one of his favorite books
- When he snuggles in at night before bed, he will put his hand on my arm and pat it...so sweet!

| I went to a class at the gym today, and my form was off when I was doing chest presses - enough that my neck hurt. So I figured I'd take a really hot shower afterwards to try and work out some of the kink. I was rubbing it with my hand, and then because my skin was wet it slipped. But I was rubbing apparently with enough force to create what now looks like some sort of domestic violence bruise. Ugh. Now I'll have to defend Jamie...no really, he wasn't trying to choke me... | | |
| Really quick update while I wait for a report to run at work... Jamie's grandpa passed away on Friday morning. The service was held yesterday morning, and was very nice. Everyone was just really glad that he isn't suffering anymore, and rejoicing that he is in heaven now! More updates to come soon...promise. | | |
| Please pray for Jamie's family...his grandpa is moving to a hospice room. We're headed to Duluth Thursday afternoon... | | |
