Madeline Ryan

My best friend Molly had her baby girl Madeline Ryan on August 11, 2010 (yes our anniversary!) She weighed only 5lbs. 13oz. Because she was born 4 weeks early, I was only able to see her through the nursery window in the hospital (Little Madeline was under lights for jaundice) So this weekend, I was finally able to hold the little peanut! She is absolutely beautiful. I am so happy for Keith, Molly and big brother Riley!

He's a walkin!

This past weekend Carter definitely started walking a ton. It is now his main way of getting around. I can't believe he is walking!! He's growing up waaaaay to fast!

Grandma and Grandpa's

We spent last weekend in Faribault at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Carter had lots and lots of fun. Mommy and daddy were able to hang out with high school friends and Grandma and Grandpa were able to hang out with the little man.

Lily and Chloe also got to play lots!

We finally finished landscaping the front yard! As most of you know, we have had about 5 projects going on at our house this summer. The front yard is completely landscaped and we are pumped! Thanks to EVERYONE who helped. Eric, Brandon, Dean, and Eric's younger brother :) My hubby has a green thumb...who knew :) Good job Joshua! It looks great!

Sleepy Boy

Sound asleep (I love his leg propped up on the bumper)

So cute.

Carter's 1st Birthday Present

Great-Grandma Alfaro sent Carter his 1st Birthday Present! It is an AMAZING wagon. Carter just loves it!! He usually sits nicely around the entire block, but in this pic he is trying to get my camera. We are happy that we have a couple more weeks to use it (well hopefully :)

Lil Man Cohen's Baby Shower

Last Friday Carter and I celebrated with auntie Carissa and her girlfriends at her very 1st baby shower! It was such and amazing shower....I didn't expect anything less from those girls :) Even though Carter was a little under the weather, we had a wonderful time! Carter was a little flirt with all the girls. I think we may be in trouble in the future. We just can't wait to meet the little man!
