The D'Ettes danced to Thriller tonight at their football game. They looked so creepy but it was so fun to see them get all dressed up. They work so hard all the time and it is so fun to see it all pay off when they get out on that field.
Saturday, we went to one of my favorite places ever.. the zoo! They have a new exhibit that opened in June that we hadn't seen yet. It's called Rocky Shores and has grizzly bears, seals, otters, a polar bear and bald eagles. It was pretty cool.
There was a baby giraffe born just a week after Carston was born, so I really wanted to go get a picture of the baby giraffes together.
I hope that when Carston gets older he loves the zoo as much as I do, so much fun!
We got Carston's newborn pictures back today! Let me tell you, I did not think that they were going to turn out. He did not cooperate when we had them taken, he was awake and crying the whole time. We eventually had to do another sitting because we didn't get enough good pictures. Leisa Larsen who took them was so patient with him (and me, the hormonal crying mom who just wanted things to go right). I think that my little man is quite adorable and I love love these pictures of him.
1 - We got a washer and dryer.. YAY! It will be so nice to not have to go to our parent's house whenever we need to do laundry. They were much needed and I am so excited. (I know I'm growing up when I'm excited about a washer and dryer)
2 - Anybody watch the show on TLC called Breaking Amish? It's kind of become a guilty pleasure of mine, I just find them all so amusing. Anyway, the other day I was watching it when it hit me that Jeremiah looks just like one of Jeff Dunham's puppets (Jeff Dunham is a comedian ventriloquist that is seriously hilarious). This puppet's name is Bubba J and he is a a total redneck. Don't believe me? Look at this!
HA!! So funny!
3 - Carston is 1 month old today. I can NOT believe that I was in a hospital 4 weeks ago giving birth to the greatest thing that has ever happened to us. He is the light of my life and I know everyone says this, but I don't know what we did before him. I love spending the days with him and watching him grow and learn and do new things every day.
- Little man loves his food and when he is hungry, he is hungry NOW.
- He is a pretty good sleeper, we are up about every 3.5 - 4 hours to eat. This week he has had a stuffy nose so it's been a rough few nights but that's ok, I just feel bad he can't breathe better.
-He has started to grin at random things, I haven't completely caught it on camera but when I see that cute smile it melts my heart. This is the best I've caught so far.
-He makes the funniest faces and noises when he has gas.
-He has such strong legs and such a strong neck. He is already starting to get the "army crawl" motion down. Cute kid is gonna be on the move before we know it.
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past two weeks!
