Mimi (aka BabySitter Extraordinaire) visited this weekend. We needed a babysitter during our big race and Mimi was eager to volunteer. In fact, she pretty much volunteered to babysit the entire weekend. Adam and I were able to have a date Saturday night, run some errands both afternoons for the house and our garden, and enjoy a cup of coffee at our local coffee shop on Sunday morning. All the while Carter was enjoying some playtime and paparazzi sessions with Mimi. The reports from Mimi said Carter was an angel, despite being sick (more to come on that later) but I don't think Mimi would ever think spending time with Carter would be difficult.Somehow the Easter Bunny managed to show up with Mimi. Check out this cute basket. Carter loved the wiffle balls (perfect for him to poke his fingers through) and the new books. Mommy and Daddy loved the chocolate treats!
The weather on Sunday was gorgeous so we took a trip up to our local botanical garden. We are fortunate to live so close to such a beautiful garden - plus they have a children's garden with lots of activities throughout the year for little ones. You might remember we visited last summer for a night of Tomatoes and Jazz. This time we decided to become members for the year so we can take advantage of all future events. Really looking forward to it.
Here is a shot of Carter showing off his latest attempt at walking. He stumbles forward with help from Daddy and always looks so proud of himself (as he should - he is getting to be such a big boy!!!) I can't wait for spring/summer to get here and stay - loving my baby boy in these adorable shorts!
Carter is very lucky have two grandmothers who care about him so much and who make the time to come care for him so his parents can occasionally have a semblance of a normal life (sans child). You two owe both of them a large amount of gratitude.
