Car-Car is NOT having the greatest week! :/

I figured I'd put this in writing so I can remember it; and since I type faster than I write, I'm putting it on the blog.
So on July 11th Carter broke through a tooth. And its SLOWLY coming up through the gum. I feel like a horrible mom because the week before he was really fussy and clingy. I thought he was just being a turkey. But in my defense Londyn didn't get her first tooth until she was 13 months, so teeth at 9 months didn't even cross my mind! :/
He's always been my little bruiser. Some how he ALWAYS ends up with a bruise, scratch, or something at the end of the day (the majority of the time its on his head somewhere!) , especially now that he's moving QUICKLY!!
So last Tuesday Carter woke up the same time Bradey did, 5:45 am!! Mommy does not do 5 maybe 6, but definitely NOT 5!! When Bradey was ready to head to work at 6:30, he laid Carter in bed with me, so that I could snuggle with him, and hopefully get him back to sleep. He was almost a sleep, so I figured I could run to the bathroom really quick. Well I was wrong!! While sitting there I heard a "THUD" and my little man screaming bloody murder!! Poor kid had an instant bruise on the side of his head, and a scrape on his nose.
Later on that day, just after lunch, I was sweeping and mopping the floor. When I do this I put the chairs upside down on the table. Londyn and him were in the living room reading books. Londyn was talking so I assumed he was in there with her. My back was facing the table so I didn't see him come crawling in, but the next thing I heard was "THUD" and him screaming BLOODY MURDER! He crawled under the chair, which knocked it down and fell on top of him. :/ Again he had a new bruise on his head.
That evening my kids when over to my older sisters house, while I went to my Mary Kay meeting. When I came to pick them up, YOU guessed it, Carter had a NEW bruise on his head!! He was crawling up the stairs, fell down, and hit his head on the wall.
You would think by now I WOULD never leave his side, but I didn't learn.
On Wednesday Bradey was grilling up some hamburgers for dinner, so the whole family was outside on the deck. I put Carter down on one of the camping chairs, and was playing with him. Bradey said, "Burgers are done." So I automatically went inside to get plates, assuming Bradey would keep an eye on the kids. Well he didn't realize I came inside, so he came inside to do the same thing. The MINUTE Bradey walked into the house we heard a "THUD" and screaming once again. Carter had fallen off the chair head first onto the deck. Not only did he have a bruise, but he had a HUGE goose egg.
The next few days were calm for our little man, but you know how the saying goes, "there's a calm before the storm"
Sunday I took Carter into Primary with me. He likes to stand up a lot more now, and I let him so he can build his leg muscles!! Well he was standing and supporting himself up with a little chair, and I was behind him using my legs as a safety net for him. Well the chair fell back, and he fell down. While he fell he hit is chin on the chair, which made him BITE his gum, NOT his lip BUT his GUM?! (now remember he just broke through ONE razor sharp tooth TWO whole weeks ago!!) There was blood every where. He snuggled into my shoulder, so most of it was on me, but there was so much that it soaked through my shirt, my bra strap, and my garments. All over his face, his shirt, some dripped onto his pant and his feet, and on my dress. It was a mess. All I can say is THANK YOU Tide for being an amazing product and doing what your suppose to do, LIFT OUT STAINS !!
And today he is trying to brake through ANOTHER tooth!! Oh man this one is really hurting him. SO our little man is not having the best of luck lately.
But on a positive note ALL he ever says is Dad, which Bradey loves because he's two for two!! And he's crawling up the stairs like a champ. Tonight he crawled up the stairs WITHOUT any help TWICE!! He's getting so big. I have a feeling walking will happen this next month! I just can't believe how much he has grown.

We gave him an Oreo after falling on the deck. It really lifted his spirits!!

4th of July and the past week.

So our 4th of July celebration was a BLAST!! LITERALLY!! ;) We went to the fairgrounds in Pocatello, where they shoot off the fireworks. Well I found this spot, thinking, "Hey there's no one sitting here for quite a few feet, cool we won't have to deal with people crowding us!!" Well when the fireworks show started I realized WHY there wasn't anyone sitting right there. We were sitting in the FRONT ROW of the action!! The fireworks were literally being lit right in front of us!! Haha!! Carter LOVED it!! He didn't even make a peep, he just watched every firework go off!! (I think he's going to be my little pyro). Londyn didn't really like the really BRIGHT ones, so she would hide her face under the blanket. But after the intermission she came and sat with me, and I turned it into a learning experience. I would ask her what color each firework was, and she got a kick out of that!!
Last night Carter pushed through his FIRST TOOTH!! He's getting so big. He HAS TO BE where ever Londyn is, which is funny because Londyn knows he is not as fast as her. She teases him by running away from him, then he chases after her, she comes back, then runs away. They just laugh and laugh when they play this game.
Londyn picks up a new habit every day. This week it's been quoting her favorite movies like "Bolt". Just a few days a go I was trying to get her off the 4-wheel and to come inside so we could eat lunch. She turns to look at me, ROLLS her eyes and says, "Get out of here, JUST GET OUT OF HERE BOLT." Oh my heavens I thought I was going to die laughing. She said it just like the cat does in the movie!! My kids crack me up!! Her new found love is bedtime stories. This started because I've been reading my scripture before I go to bed, instead when I wake up. One night she asked if she should read my stories, and I told her to go get one of her books to read (not that I don't want her to read scriptures, I just didn't want her RIPPING out pages). So she hopped out of bed, ran and got some books (yes not just ONE but SOME!!), and I've been reading to her, letting her fall asleep, then I read scriptures ever since!! I LOVE it because it's been a fun bonding time for the both of us!
Bradey has been working hard in the yard!! Our sprinklers haven't been getting the back corner of our lawn, and our hose isn't long enough to reach that corner, so Bradey (being the go getter that he is) decided to put a sprinkler head in that spot!! We went to Lowe's Friday after work to go get the material (and we were there for FOREVER!!), then got home and he dug a trench until 10:30, then Saturday he put it all together. Now my grass is turning green!! I love my hard working man!!
As for me, I've really been trying to kick it up a notch with my MK business. And it's been fun doing it!! I've gotten to see friends who I haven't seen in years, and meeting LOTS of new people. It has really help me come back into being the "sociable Alyssa" again. Hanging out with adult women has made me realize I have been talking to babies WAY to much!! ;) So I am getting a balance of adulthood and mommyhood. :)

P.S. Sorry no pictures this post. I didn't take my camera with me to the 4th of July!
