Everyday Carrie

Last Friday we put up Nate’s “whoa big bed” or his “my bed” as he likes to refer to it. He loves it! There are times when I tell him that we cannot get in the bed. He wants to read and play in it all the time. We have been talking about it for awhile so he had seen all the stuff, helped me pick out the bedding, and new we were taking down the crib. He was most excited about taking the bed “APART” and kept telling us that we were taking the crib apart. He wanted to use all his tools and help. Once it was all put together he wanted to know where his pillows were. I wasn’t going to put them in at first but I guess we needed our big boy bed to be complete. Here a just a couple pictures and hopefully I can get the video up of all the help with the tools later:)

Before taking down the crib… EXCITED face…

Trying it out…

Well, Nate has been TWO for almost a month now! I have been meaning to make a post for a month now:) He is growing so fast and learning something new everyday. He has a new phrase that cracks me up everyday. That might be another whole post.

The birthday weekend was so much fun! We talked all month about who was having a party…”ME!” and how old he was going to be…” A TWO!”. So it was definitely hyped up and if you know me then you know I like to throw a party. Okay, LOVE to throw a party. I think he loved all the Thomas decorations and in fact ran around the house saying “Choo choo!” when we were all decorated. I actually wish I had taken more pics of the decorations. Oh well. The morning of the party he just woke up happy (which he usually does) but came downstairs to all the decorations and just started giggling. It was a fun morning with some sweet friends.

The next day on the real birthday day we went to my parents to have a party with the family (and eat more cake!). It is just beyond words to see him get so excited. We gave him a tricycle for his birthday which he was a little uncertain about especially bc of the helmet. Now he puts his “hemet” right on and loves to go on rides to look for rocks to put in the bucket on the back. Such a big boy! I love getting to be his mommy and watch him grow. It has been an unbelievably fast two years. The fastest two years of my life. I just realize the gift God has given us as parents and how important every moment is with this precious boy.
