Firsts and a Carterism

Last Saturday, just after Nate got home from the priesthood session of general conference, he was telling me about the different talks when Avy took about 5 steps to get from the ottoman to Nate- on her own. It is officially her first steps. Although she has yet to repeat it. :-)

That Sunday she climbed up to the top of the ottoman and hasn't stopped climbing since then.

And today, she has finally cut her first tooth! We've been watching and waiting, but I still missed all the signs for it- drooling, clinging, a very sad diaper rash, and lots of crying!  Looks like we're in for it when it comes to teething.

And handsome Carter clarified to Nate today that Avenly was not daddy's girl, she was mommy's girl-"because she came from mommy's tummy."

Carter Turns 4!!!

Carter is officially 4!  This birthday has been especially fun because now he understands the concept of it. He was adorably hyper at his party on Saturday and a little greedy today, but he will learn.

Carter blessed our family with so much when he was born. He is the sweetest little thing to me, I hope he always will be because it just melts my heart when he says out of the blue-I love you Mom and then gives me a kiss.

We had dinner with Nate's family tonight. Carter and Uncle Kimball were honored with a special dinner, yummy cake, "You are special" plates, and the kindness of grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
