Happy 3rd Birthday Carter Lynn!!

Carter's 3rd birthday was yesterday, but we were outside enjoying the beautiful weather and playing with his new toys so I didn't take the time to post.  Carter's well visit is not until October 9th, so I don't know his "stats" right now.

Carter started his birthday morning off right with the birthday pancake tradition.  A pancake shaped in the number 3!!  When we asked Carter what his pancake was in the shape of he said, "S for Snake".  Close enough. haha  After eating his number 3, Carter shredded his other pancakes and placed them into a "mulch pile" before finishing them off.

 Carter also had one more present to open for his actual birthday from Bill and I.  Carter received a sand and water activity set.  He thought it was really cool and loved playing with it.  I love listening to Carter play by himself.  His imagination is amazing!!

Once Carter tired of playing with his sand and water set he ventured to his favorite past time, swinging!!  Carter is almost too adventurous for me sometimes.  He was trying to flip over while swinging.  Luckily, he did not accomplish his goal.

Carter received a couple of gift cards, so Bill took him to Wal-Mart to pick out his gifts.  Carter chose a remote control 4-wheeler, a Spiderman scooter, and the game Hungry Hungry Hippo.

The older neighbor boys have scooters and are always outside building ramps and doing tricks.  For now I will keep him on the back patio, so he cannot see the ramps or older boys doing their tricks.  At least I convinced him to wear a helmet because the older boys do.

Carter Lynn I want to wish you a Happy 3rd Birthday!  You bring so much happiness and love into our family.  Even though you test the boundaries constantly, you can always make me smile with your dimpled grin and silly laugh.  You have grown into such an amazing little boy and mommy is so proud of you.  I know you will continue to do great things and be amazing at life.  I love you Lynn Lynn!!
