Restaurant Week

Carter hit up restaurant week with us two different times this year. This particular night we went to The Keg with Aunt Sarah and Aunt Sally. Carter did great. He entertained the other patrons, watched all the people walk by outside and put nice little hand prints all over their window. It was a good night.

First Popsicle

When Carter was sick, the doctor recommended getting him some popsicles for something cold on his throat. The facial expressions in this video just make me laugh.

Just a Swingin'

Scott and I took Carter down to the park for his first swing experience. I think he liked it and it was so fun to watch he and Scott play together. Carter is definitely ready for the weather to warm up now, so we can put his own swing he got from Grandma Bonnie and Grandpa Joe to use whenever he wants.

MMM...Blueberry Pancakes

As stated earlier, Carter loves blueberries. He also loves breakfast. So it just made sense when making breakfast for all of us, that blueberry pancakes were the perfect choice. Although a little messy, he loved being able to eat them on his own. We took the top half of his PJs off to make clean up a little easier. Carter's joy is confirmed in the pictures below. Obviously, food and eating are some of his favorite things.

Eddie kept a close watch on Carter the whole time he was eating. After Carter decided he was full, Eddie was the benificiary of any scraps that remained.

Hungry?

Pre-Birthday Celebration

While we were in Kansas City, Grandma and Grandpa got Carter and I birthday cakes to celebrate our birthdays. It is tradition at the Soltis house to have ice cream cakes so, that is what we both got.

Carter LOVED his cake. He was so excited to eat it, he picked up the whole thing to take a bite. However, anger quickly ensued because it was cold, frozen and too hard to get a bite out of it. We just had to cut a piece off and eat it, which was definitely okay with Carter.
