Thunder Thighs

Check out these legs.... seriously could they be any cuter! My lovely sister (who was over this week to help pack up the house) pointed out the fact that on adults massive thunder thighs aren't a desirable thing, but on BABIES they are to die for. So Carter I hope you keep your chubby thighs for a while because I LOVE THEM. On another note we went down South last weekend for May Long and had a fun filled time. It was great to leave the city and some of the major stresses we've had lately behind (primarily the new house - or I should say really old house - and everything it's going to entail) if even only for a weekend. Some of the highlights were visiting my brothers in Taber, seeing my other brothers 100 year old house in Lethbridge for the first time, lunch with my G-ma and G-pa, temple trip, family photos with the Baldersons, seeing Seth interact with Carter, getting together with old high school friends one night, riding the quad around town with mike to the Dahl's bonfire (don't worry Carter wasn't on there with us), and a visit to Waterton. I didn't take a ton of pictures but here's a couple I did manage to shoot.

We move this monday - WISH US LUCK!

Family Bonfire

My brother + family came up to Calgary from Lethbridge for the day and we headed to Fishcreek Park for a little R & R...... well not really with this crowd! On my side of the family 6 of the 7 grandkids are boys which means HAVOC. And poor Cecily (the only little lady) really is just as energetic as the boys! It was definitely a fun afternoon though and and I'll take this crazy crowd anytime!

Cute Smith Family

All the baby boys of 2009

I asked them what they would do if a bear showed up and this is what I got

You know a face this dirty and tired means he had a REALLY good afternoon!

Carter is now just over 4 months and is growing up so fast! Here are some of his likes, dislikes, and updates:

• Had his 4 month check yesterday and is 18 lbs. He's in the 100th percentile for weight and is 110th percentile for height.
• He's started grabbing things and keeps himself entertained when in his car seat by pulling on his hanging toy.
• Is laughing more and more all the time.
• Hates sudden loud noises and sometimes cries when startled.
• Loves his Dad (Mike's a baby whisperer!)
• Tries really hard to roll from his back to his front and can do so with just a LITTLE help.
• Sleeps through the night most nights but usually refuses to nap longer than 30 minutes during the day.

We love this little Tyke!
