To start the year off right we headed down to universal studios with my family! It was a blast! We had a tour guide take us around and tell us all about each ride along with some fun facts about universal in general. Did you know that they went on a hunt to find the weirdest bent up palm trees to make the Dr. Seuss area more well... Dr. Seuss? The park puts a lot of thought and detail into making the park what it is. I had no idea. Carter of course went with us and I think i may or may not have accidentally drugged him.You see, I took some Bonine so I could ride all the rides and well... Carter felt the effects. He slept the ENTIRE day. Literally, he was only up or an hour. It was great! During that hour we made sure to get a picture of him on his first amusement park ride which was the merry go round. I freaked him right out.
After Universal Shaun went and did his finals. He again got all A's. I'm pretty proud of him! He juggles a lot especially with the new job and new baby. Once he finished the finals he had about 2 weeks to relax. We are so excited for him to be almost done and be able to spend more time together! 9 more weeks folks. Count down with me. This module he is taking a social marketing and another marketing class that I cant remember. I suck at that. I'm actually excited for the social marketing class. I find that area super interesting and already have had some fun conversations about it with Shaun, I like to pretend I know what i'm talking about when it comes to business, and oddly enough i've started to enjoy it more and more.
This last weekend we did something super fun. We jumped on a plane to surprise my dad for his birthday/fathers day! It was a short trip but super fun. After my dad got off work we loaded up the razors and headed towards the cabin to spend the weekend. We drove the razors and my dad took the ol' jeep for a turn as well. I think he was pleasantly surprised how fun it was to have that up there, he even got it a little bogged down in the mud which required that the winch be used for the first time as well! It was so great to have the whole family together (except Kasie, stinking baby needs to come! :D) Hopefully we can all land on the same side of the globe soon!
Carter also hit his 2 month mark. He is starting to interact with us more and we love it! He smiles whenever he get attention and squawks when he doesn't feel he's getting enough. He also has finally won Toby over. For awhile the pup was pretty bitter but now Toby likes to be in whatever room Carter is in. He also has to check on him each time he is let back in the house, which is sometimes a problem since it usually includes a lick to the face (SICK) and a woken up baby (stinking Toby). While we were in Idaho we were able to have a pediatric eye doctor give us an opinion on his eyes. Carter has been behind in his vision and also has a few cysts on the edge of his pupil. Good news though, the cysts are minor and just require us to keep and eye on them and hope they dont grow or change shape! If they stay the same everything should be good to go! He also is right on track as far as the vision goes so thats a great thing too! We will get one other opinion on the cysts but this doctor definitely made us feel a bit more at ease! We sure love this baby boy, he is such a good baby and helps keep me busy and entertained during the days!
Here is Carter's "newsletter" ( I dont know what to call it) As well as a few of his newborn pictures!
