Worst mama ever!

I haven't updated my blog since February...this must make me the worst mama ever! Carter has just grown up to be such a big boy, or toddler at least. He is talking up a storm and signing at least 100 signs now. He has gone from a baby to a little boy overnight. Makes me a bit sad. We are expecting baby boy #2 just after Carter's 2nd birthday and although I know there is plenty of love to share, I really worry about missing out on all the Carter and me time we have. He is just so much fun to be around and has yet to really test us too much. Most of our meltdowns are around bedtimes and/or when ice cream has been denied.

Carter is obsessed with ice cream. He signs it by holding his index finger up to his mouth and licking it like it were an ice cream cone. He has gone from eating anything resembling ice cream (to include sour cream) to being a bit of an ice cream connoisseur. He gets only soy ice cream, but prefers the "heddy, heddy blue" kind (that's toddler speak for the blue container that's heavy) and always asks for chocolate by signing "brown candy". He has a few bites and then usually moves on to mama's or grandma's because they are "bedda".

He asks for ice cream every morning when I open the refrigerator to get out the milk. I've promised him an ice cream sundae for breakfast when he turns 10. Let's see if we can last that long!
