Summer trips

Well, I figured it was about time for my monthly post of the Blome Buzz! As usual we have been busy but definitely have been playing this Labor Day weekend pretty lazy! We have been trying to work more on Baby Blome's room but have found it a little easier to nap and watch movies at night instead. :-)

Carter continues to grow and develop so quickly! It amazes me how fast he is growing up...he isn't a baby anymore! He can now say, "Mama", "DaDa", "This" and "No." He can point to whatever he wants and unfortunately has learned to throw mini-tantrums to get attention.
He is though a very laid back little guy and is a joy to have around!

I'm feeling pretty good...almost 30 weeks along! For those that don't know...we are having a girl! We have decided on a name-Lainie Grace but aren't really sure of the spelling. (It was hard for me to decide on a spelling just now!) She should be here the first or second week of November so Christian and I have decided it is going to be a very interesting Thanksgiving/Christmas season!

Here are some recent pictures!

Carter in the morning....his hair is always a little out of control. I think he had just finished his pan-key-cakes (pancakes) and had a little syrup in his hair.

Carter's first time in the swimming pool. We had a swimming party with our small group at a group member's house. We imagined Carter was thinking, "What are all of you doing in my bath tub?" He absolutely loved the water-especially splashing!

After swimming...about a minute after we strapped him in on the way home

Here is Carter in the pool with my brother on our recent trip to Spring Mill

Attempting to sit on the deer for a picture in the lodge...we finally got him up on the deer for a picture and then he began to try to eat the antlers

Christian and I on our 5 year anniversary trip to St. Louis. It was a good trip but unfortunately was cut short as Carter got sick at home with my parents. We ended up having to leave a day early but we were able to take in some sites before we left. It has been a wonderful five years together! :-)

Enjoy the Labor Day Holiday!
