Pool Play Date

Isabelle and her Dad came over today for a play date. Since the weather was warm, we got some swimming in! Here I am splashing with Isabelle on the pool steps!

Deuce at 20 weeks

Hey everybody! Mommy will be twenty weeks pregnant tomorrow....the half-way point! She hasn't been able to feel me moving much and has been a little concerned since she felt my brother Chandler moving a LOT by this point. Today she now knows why. Her placenta is anterior (closer to the tummy than the back) and it acts as a large cushion against all of my punches and kicks so she can't really feel them. She'll probably start feeling them more when I get bigger. Today she and Daddy went to the Midwives for my checkup. Everything is looking good. My heart rate was 160 bmp, and Mommy is measuring right at twenty weeks. She is going to try and go to Whole Foods and get some ProBiotics to try and clear up the Group B Strep that she has so she won't worry about me catching it. Soon Daddy will put up a poll so we can see what everybody thinks I'll be (boy/girl) and when I'll arrive!

Happy Father's Day!

Daddy got a new Digital SLR camera for Father's Day and his birthday and Christmas for the next few years. I knew about it for a few weeks...it's a good thing I can't speak yet, because I really wanted to ruin the surprise!

I kinda feel like a celebrity now! Daddy is constantly following me around with his new camera. Since his new camera is so nice, I have to make sure I wipe the smeared dinner off my face so that it doesn't show up in the pictures!

Here is one of Daddy's first shots of me with his new camera! Very nice, huh?

Summertime Fun!

As you know, it was very hot here this past weekend. So, what do you do when it is very hot? You hang out in the pool all weekend! So, that's what I did. Mommy got me a neat float to play in! I love all this pool time!

SUA, Round Two!

So, Mommy and Daddy took me to the hospital last Friday. No fears, it wasn't because I was sick or injured, we got to take pictures of the baby in Mommy's tummy. Much to our surprise, this baby also has SUA (single umbilical artery) just like I did. Needless to say my family was very shocked. Supposedly, they don't believe it to be hereditary, it is supposed to be fairly random. I assured Mommy that I had no problems with SUA, and I will help the new baby through the process. Anyways...we will still monitor the new baby closely (by having a 3rd trimester ultrasound) and make sure growth is good. Other than SUA, every looked great and very healthy. On to the pictures! Here is a picture of when I was in Mommy's tummy:

Here is a pictures of the new baby from Friday's ultrasound:


Notice any resemblance?

Farmer's Market Fun!

Today my buddy Aidan and I went to the NC State Farmer's market with our moms. We had a lot of fun. I loved looking at all the other babies being pushed around and also pointing out all the food to Mommy that I wanted to eat. People kept asking Mommy if her and Miss Carrie were sisters and also if Aidan and I were twins!



Here's Aidan and I after having lunch! We are best buds!

14 Month Stats

I'm 14 months old now! Here are my stats:

Weight: 23 lbs, 10 oz
Height: 30 3/8"

I can crawl really well now, but I'm not walking independently yet. I eat everything in sight. I'm not taking a morning nap anymore, but usually take a snooze after lunch for a few hours. I still love being outside and especially enjoy swinging or being in the pool.


Here's a funny picture of me playing with Katie. I got one of my drumsticks and was using Katie as my drum. Mommy thought this was hillarious.
