15 month check-up at 16 months old

We postponed Carter's 15 month checkup/shots because of the stomach virus and then being out of town. So we went at 16 months old (this month) and although he 'weighs a little too much' for his age, the doctor says he is 'abnormally tall' so he doesn't look fat...phew. I was worried about him being so large. Joking :)

He still hasn't caught up to the 27 lbs he weighed before the stomach bug struck, but he is up to 25 lbs 6 oz and 33 inches.

Christmas in St Augustine

Despite the nasty stomach bug us McMillian's brought to the Christmas get-together, we managed to have a quite a nice time. St. Augustine is a great city and I would love to go back and explore it some more! Carter was not a fan of Santa Claus, but lucky for him, Uncle Fred was.

It was really hard to leave and say goodbye to everyone, it felt like we had just arrived!! But since Carter was a TOTAL nightmare baby, not sleeping, whiny and clingy...it was nice to get home and back into our routine.

My little unicorn

My poor baby boy hurt himself today, the worst injury to date! He ran full speed across the living room and tripped on his feet and THUD! Fell right into the corner of the couch. Check out the damage in the middle of his forehead.

He's a strong little guy though, and has handled it well...

My Little Gap Model

Took these pictures at the park last week. I think they came out pretty cute!

Lyla Rose

Hard to believe I haven't posted in a month! Well today there is a very special announcement - my good friend Lauren and her husband Jamie welcomed their little girl Lyla Rose into the world just past midnight this morning. It was a beautiful, easy delivery and out she came in one push! Her big brother Joey is only 19 months old so they'll have lots of fun growing up together. I was so lucky to be there for her birth. Here are a few pictures of their beautiful family.

ALMOST makes me want to try for baby #2 !!! :) Almost...but not quite.

Pumpkin Patch

The weather is finally starting to cool off. So in the spirit of fall, we went to the Pumpkin Patch at Spanish River Church for a good ole gourd fest. Jenn and Bjorn are heading home to Myrtle Beach today after a short 4-day visit. As always, Carter loves the entertainment his cousin provides!

As always, more pictures are posted on picasa.

Quick Trip to West Coast

Gammy, Carter and I cruised on over to Ft Myers to visit my Mom who was taking good care of Uncle Fred after a few days in the hospital. Carter LOVED the beach and we of course loved watching him explore.
