Here is a lovely video of Carter and Jordan dancing. Carter kind of boxes when he dances. The best part is Jordan trying to dance like him. They were dancing to the song that plays on Carter's Thomas the Train book from Grandma Bonnie.
The reason this week is titled not the best is because Carter has started throwing fits and being mean to Landon. Quite lovely. I'm hoping some of it is his big pointy teeth are finally about half way through...and he'll be two in a month. I guess we'll see. My girl is an angel though. She really is a good baby. I had to put this photo up for Nicole. She's wearing the little purple shoed outfit from her that is so cute.
Carter and Landon are very helpful about giving Grandma Vivian her cane. They really love to see her on Sunday mornings. I like when Carter says "Hi Grandma Bibian".
She really likes to suck on her whole hand if she can get it in her mouth. It drives Kyle crazy, but I think it's kind of cute. He just doesn't want her to be a thumbsucker.
This is her smiley morning face. I think this is so cute. She's starting to get some eyelashes to go along with those big dark blue eyes.
This is her trying to talk face. She makes some nice little sighs and coos. She looks like she wants to converse with us, but she just can't figure it out.
Carter took a fun bath with some of his new toys from Sunburst - his Thomas squeakers and his Nemo and Dory toy. He also looked smashing in his new froggy towel from Phil and Mary Jo. He's a spoiled little guy!
This is quite a physique. She's not a huge girl, but she does have some lovely thigh and arm rolls. She loves to kick and kick and kick!
This is how Carter was watching "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" on Saturday morning. He's starting to like that show. He also stole my granola bar, so he was pretty pleased with himself.
Abbey is pretty good at getting Miss Avers to take little naps. That was day Avery went through three outfits. Every time we changed her diaper, she'd pee all over. She knows the minute she's free!
Here's the other Abbey and Avery picture. Her eyes are about half way open in this one. She's not sure if she actually wants to sleep or not.
Mom got these hats for both boys a long time ago. Lando never wore his, so Carter has two. He thought it was hilarious that Jordan was wearing the same hat. He kept saying "Mom, one two hats!".
Here's Jocko (looking very colorful after dance) and her pal Avery chilling on the floor. Avery is a curious baby. She's always looking around - taking in everything.
He's looking awfully happy here because I told him he could play the Wii since he was being a good boy. Tennis is his favorite, but he also enjoys a good game of golf or bowling. When he bowls, he says "Swing and let go".
This is such a cute picture of Landon. He told Erica he wanted to hold Avery. He held her for about ten seconds and decided that was enough. Avery looks so happy too!
Landon has been doing this cool underbite thing lately. He walks around with this goofy smile on his face and his chin sticking way out. I didn't get a good pictue of it, but he looks handsome.
Carter loves to jump on Uncle Kyle's bed. I'm sure Kyle loves it too! He's wearing his cool jeans and 49ers shirt that Grandma and Grandpa Barsness got for him. It's so cute, very vintage. We're brainwashing him to like both the 49ers and the Redskins!
She's so funny. She's got that smile down now. I love the arm stretch too.
Dad was "attacking" Carter with his foot, and Carter was pretending to eat his toes. He kept leaning down and going "num num num". You can tell he was laughing so hard.
This is Carter's Elton John picture. He looked so funny in these glasses that Terri and Mom picked up at JoAnn's. I love how they are too big so you can only see half his eyes. He's wearing this sweatshirt that Auntie Kelsie got him. He's worn it three out of the last four days. He always says "My jacket!" so we don't forget it.
Dad and Carter were playing "chicken" with the cars. Usually Dad would move out of the way at the last second, and Carter would laugh and laugh! Every once in awhile though there was a crash!
Can you tell he was having such a good time? Dad and I were freezing. Carter apparently can't feel cold as well as we can.
Avery was looking quite cute in her Mickey Mouse outfit from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Frank. We wanted her to wear it on Valentine's Day, but it was a little big. Carter kept pointing at Mickey Mouse all day long.
Mom got this cute pink bear suit for Avery when she was born. She finally kind of fits in it. The arms and legs are still a little long. She looked so lovely in it!
Carter had a great time with Jordan and this green ball on Saturday. He would throw it to her, and she would try to hit it with the racket. He's got a dangerous sidearm throw!
Carter said "Me hold Avery", so I let him. He's quite a nice little boy to his sister. I told him what a good big brother he was.
Avery was talking to Aunt Terri here. She's starting to make a lot of different noises now. It's very cute.
Carter was kind of jealous because Landon wanted to hang out with me on Friday. He wanted to just sit with me and cuddle. That's rare! He's my babyguy.
Here's my buddy Lando. He wanted to "see Mia" which is me. I was playing a nice little tune on his chest - he thought that was pretty funny.
Miss Avers took her first shower last week with her Daddy. She was so good - I had to take a picture. I love how she's all curled up on him.
I had her pretty towel all ready for her when she was done. She laid on the floor and Laney curled up next to her to keep her warm. Laney really loves Carter and Avery.
Don't they look like little troublemakers? They're actually good boys. They get a cup to rinse out their mouth (and play in the water) if they brush their teeth. Carter lets me brush his back ones.
I just happened to catch this cute little guy running around the house. I love the cheeks.
This is a big smile! She looks like she's posing with that hand up behind her ear - very modelesque. She must have known she looked beautiful in her sweater and jeans from Grandma and Grandpa Barsness.
She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping. Whenever she wakes up, she jams that fist into her mouth.
I got a couple action photos of the boys jumping on the bed. As you can see here, Carter is going backwards!
This one kills me. They like to land on their butts also.
Here's Avery sitting at the computer with Aunt Terri. She really wants to tell her something. She looks like she's listening too!
Here she is talking to me. I think it's so funny watching her little mouth move all over the place, trying to make a new noise.
Here's Carter and Landon helping Avery get her bouncer's waterfall going. They kept going over and kissing her head. It's funny how they say "Hi Avery" in their nice little voices!
Just a goofy face to finish off this week's blog. He was a good boy this weekend. I can't believe he'll be two in a month. Time flies!
