It's the little things.....

It's the little things that mean the most these days. Time with my family, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the sunny days when the sun decides to show up, laughing at Karter's expressions, and enjoying all of God's blessings that he has given me!

Here are a few little things that have been going on this past week, hope you enjoy these moments as much as I did!!

 The video below will just be sound...it is of Karter "giggling" at the kissy monster!! :)  I just love his little laughs and squeals. 

Feeding Karter has been fun the last few weeks. Each week we are introducing new veggies and fruits, and it has been so fun watching his reactions as he tries them. He really is a good eater and likes everything so far that he has been given. In fact he is quite vocal if you don't feed him fast enough!!

No matter how much I try to clean up his face......whenever he eats black beans and bananas they manage to get all over his face!!

Yesterday I was feeling a bit stir crazy and needed to get out of the house.  I was so excited when I woke up to the sunshine!  Mom, Karter, and I went to Poulsbo for a bite to eat and to walk the shops.  We had a great time!  I am reminded on sunny days just how beautiful Washington really is.

Snuggles for mom!

What a beautiful day it was!!
