Happy 2nd Birthday, Carter!

Brand spankin' new!
And now he's TWO!!!
CARTER THOMAS BOWDEN turns 2 today! He's such a bundle of love, fun, full of energy, spit and fire! He is one of the sweetest loveable babies- uh, not a baby anymore -kid- we've ever met. He can snuggle into you like no one else can. He gives hugs and kisses. His favorite people are Hudson and Avery. Lately he's had a mean streak toward Avery, but we think it's because he really really just wants to be her best friend and she's busy trying to be Hudson's best friend. (and he's just got a sort of mean streak toward anybody whenever he means NO) He's a bit of a daredevil and seems to have little fear. He loves sports, playing sports, and watching sports. He loves staying up past Hudson's and Avery's bedtime, mostly because he enjoys the one-on-one time with mommy, daddy, or both. As I type he's grabbing his little red bat, a baseball, and a A's batting hat and will come over to me to throw the ball. He'll throw the ball straight at me and get into batting position! He's got a pretty good stance, too. You've got to watch him when he's got a ball in his hand because if he's aiming for your face he'll get it! He's definitely got an athletic build and has the control and agility of an athlete already. He's always been very well coordinated with walking, running, and moving. (despite all his injuries) Daddy is excited, as you can imagine!


Carter McFarter Favorites~

Food: MILK, waffles, just about anything, loves mama's cookies! (Tried to climb up the cabinet yesterday for some!). Last week he was shoving tomotoes in his mouth.

Movies/TV: Blues Clues, he really liked the Sandlot-surprise? (daddy's pick for family movie night)

Persons: Mama (hahhaaa!) LOVES Hudson and Avery. (hu-son and fa-vry) He loves to follow them around and do whatever they are doing. So far he's even into the new baby, giving my belly hugs and kisses! He loves being with his cousins, too! Okay, he totally loves being with daddy, too! Especially in daddy's room, sitting in the opposite chair, watching a baseball game with daddy. (and if daddy gets up Carter runs to steal daddy's chair!) Papa George is a favorite too, and with Papa on summer break Carter gets super excited for visits but really just wants his buddy back to snuggle with all day long!

Things to do: Playing Notebook/Blues Clues, loves to sing & dance(very good at the soundtrack to the Broadway show WICKED!), loves playing outside, trying to be doing anything that is too old for him, growing up =(
Wears: size 8 shoes, 3Ts clothing, (size 6 diapers but hopefully not for too much longer.)
Best Qualities: Wearing his heart on his sleeve! Great smile, silly, sense of humor - funny as heck! Knowing what he wants or doesn't want.
Worst Qualities: Hitting and not understanding how to say what he means instead. Knowing what he wants or doesn't want! ;)

Best way to describe him is what everyone calls him-mini-Rob! Looks like him, likes sports like him, same temperment (except Rob uses words now and doesn't smack everyone -hahaha!), and that heart on the sleeve thing.

Some family photos -even one with daddy!!!
