Backyard Fun

Brotherly Love

Carter being able to climb in and out of his crib has caused some sleeping issues as you can imagine. I haven't wanted to put the boys in regular beds yet because I'm worried they will run around and play together and not nap, and I NEED them to nap. So for the time being I've just left them in their cribs hoping Carter doesn't break his arm trying to get out of his crib in the middle of the night. Last night when I went to check on the boys before I went to bed I found them like this:


I thought it was so cute, especially considering they haven't slept together since they were newborns. I had to laugh at the positions they were in because thats how they were when I was pregnant with them, Carter laying across the top of my stomach and Spencer laying vertically taking up the rest of the room. I was half tempted to leave Carter there, but I didn't think that the crib was big enough for the both of them. I did take the side rail off of Carter's crib today though so he doesn't have to climb anymore (unless he wants to get into Spencer's crib) so we'll see how it goes.

Trip to the Zoo

We took our first trip to the zoo this year on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. We went with my mom, dad, and my sister, which was nice because it took all five of us taking turns to keep up with the boys. Carter has more energy than anyone I know and he literally ran everywhere he went. My mom did a good job keeping up with him though. The boys loved seeing all of the animals, especially the elephants and the monkeys, but I think the train ride may have been the highlight of the day. I did my best to snap a few pics here and there, but they make it hard because they won't sit still long enough for my camera to snap - but here's what I got.
