rock hunting & exploring

now that the weather is finally starting to get nice we've been able to get outside & play!!! hooray! carter has discovered rocks & bark chips! he loves to collect them! we have a growing collection sitting outside our front door. we drop them off there before we head back in. but some have managed to sneak in & they rest on the mantle! haha!

its been so fun watching him explore the outdoors. he stares in wonder and excitment at everything! he constantly points at things and in his cute lil babish-slur says, "whatsthis?" or "whatsthat?" yes, he really does say that!! its so cute. when a car, truck or possibly a lawn mower is overheard, he immediately stops what he is doing and says "whatsthis?! oooohhhh!" and then proceeds to make the noise!!!

on days like these, my heart skips a beat. =)

"whatsthis?!" (he is listening to a lawn mower here)

we have new neighbors who moved in across the street & they have a son close to carter's age! its been so fun getting to know them and having the boys play!

cheers.
