Carter's Birthday!!


Carter and Averie meeting Chuckie! He did some silly dances with them and they were so cute, dancing and laughing the whole time!



Carter had been affraid of tunnels and slides and such in the past but Averie tells him to be brave! He likes them much better now!






Carter turned 3 on friday!!! I can't believe how fast time has gone! He is the sweetest most loving, caring boy in the world! For his birthday we went to Chuckie Cheese with his friend Averie, who he loves. They play so well together I love it. When Brad was done with his final on friday we did cake and presents at home. Carter got a bean bag chair, which he LOVES!


The past three years have been a huge challenge with Carter's health problems. From the time he was born till now he has been to hundreds of doctors appointments, had every test imaginable run on him. It is a little sad to me when he plays doctor and tells me he is checking my blood pressure and wants to know how my reflux is feeling, seriously a 3 year old should not know what that means!! But he is so brave and had gotten so big and strong! We don't know why he can't sleep, but we have a lot of theories about some of the steroids he was on as a baby that are now being discovered to lead to serious sleep disorders. Even when we are up all night with him, he is so cute and loves to cuddle. He is such a great helper and big brother too! I can't imagine my life without him, there where times when he was first having health problems that I prepared myself for the worse, and everytime Heavenly Father blessed us and has let us keep him here with us! I love my little guy!!!!
