Carter, Ginger and Cheerios!

So Sherry text me Saturday morning (Feb. 13th, 2010) at like 6:50! I had actually just been woken up by my pups so I was able to get right back to her. She asked me to come and get Carter so that she could go into the Urgent Care because she was covered in hives and Matt was at work! The night before she'd been at the Urgent Care and they'd given her a steroid shot and an antibiotic shot. Clearly she was allergic to one of them because it was attacking her less than 12 hours later! I got to Sherry's house a little after 7am so that I could help her get Carter ready and she could be first in line. Carter and I then got to spend the day together at my house so that when Sherry got back from the doctor she could take a nap and try and let the medicine and her body get the hives in check! Carter is just starting to walk and he is getting SO much more mobile, which is fun to see but he now needs CONSTANT supervision!!! During snack time he was munching on Cheerios in his walker. No matter how many times I told Ginger no or guided Carter's hands back to his own mouth he insisted on sharing with her! They are best buds!

My 31st Birthday!

I'm not so into celebrating getting older anymore and 31 isn't really a monumental birthday so I didn't want to do anything extravagant. I ended up just going to a simple dinner with some family and I invited a few friends so that people would stop bugging me about how I was going to celebrate. So after dinner at our "go-to" staple restaurant, El Sombrero they bring you a small bowl of ice-cream with a candle in it and they sing you happy birthday. Embarrassing but nice. I was holding Carter in my lap at the time (who had just turned a year old 2 weeks prior) and decided to share my ice-cream with him. It was soooo funny because he made some terrible faces as if I'd given him a lemon or something! Maybe it was the sweetness or the cold that got to him but after a few more bites he started to "warm-up" to the taste. Thanks to everyone for the Birthday gifts and wishes--I appreciate it!
