Hallway Safari

My little crawler decided last night was a good time to explore the house on his terms. We usually just carry him from room to room when we need to keep an eye on him. But this time he ventured down the hall all on his own and was looking in all the rooms before deciding he wanted to mountain climb on a pile of quilts. Adorable!

Why won't he stay tiny?

Just another piece of proof that my baby won't be a baby for long. I peeked over the half wall while doing the dishes to see someone exploring the front of the television. I guess it won't be long until he knows more about electronics than I do. And I'm sure walking is just around the corner since he's standing and holding on with only one hand so the other is free to play and look around. I just want to keep him my little guy for longer. He wasn't ever very little to begin with.

Road Trip Addendum

Here's some of the cuteness I got to play with in the backseat on our drive to San Diego last week.

Good Morning, San Diego!

It's Friday morning and our last full day in San Diego. We had a fun time at the beach yesterday and we got to meet up with some of our California family, the Bennings.

Leland met up with Dave and Laura for some scuba and the rest of us met up with Kelly for some lounging. They were awesome and brought beach umbrellas and the like for us to borrow. You know, us desert dwellers don't have those kinds of things. Kelly and I reminisced about the summers we would spend with our families together at Zuma beach eating picnic lunches and hanging out (and then heading back to the Benning pool to swim and wash off the grime).

Carter had such a great time his first time at the beach playing in the sand and little waves that would come up. I will post those pictures when we get home.

Road Trip

Here we are on our way to San Diego for our week-long family trip. Carter is being an awesome little dude on the drive so far. We can't wait to get there for some cooler weather. We just stopped to change a diaper in Gila Bend and it's SO hot. A few more hours and we'll be on the land of cool ocean breezes. Let's go!

Captain Carter

We were out to dinner with the family and the Bennings who were in town visiting when Daddy decided this black napkin looked like it might make a good banana. Turns out he was right. Argh!
