Nap????? And more weather stuff

Here's Carter the other day in his hat. He wears for walks, to keep the sun out of his face, but the other day he could have used that for the rain too, huh. He looks like Giligans Island to me.

After the big storm on Wed night, thur was just pouring buckets. DFW had flash floods all day, Dallas had major flooding issues. Keller got 5.8 inches of rain in one day. There was more lightening that day than the whole year so far put together. This is what my garden looked like. I had to wait for the rain to let up to poke my head out to get a photo. (and you can tell it's still raining hard.)

I thought to myself, I didn't want to lose all the veggies in the rain, so I guess I will pick my beans now. Some of them weren't ready, so i left them on the stocks to grown more. I was so exited. I read online how to freeze corn, once it's ready, and how to harvest beans. If you have any tips let me know. I am growing corn, beans, onions, tomatoes, zuchini, cucumber, potatos (which I know nothing about.), and watermellon. I am super exited.

So this week Carter started to take GREAT naps. He takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hour naps, and he used to cry when he woke up. However, lately, I would look at the clock and think, "my goodness he's been sleeping for a while." If I listened real close to the monitor I could hear a little noise. I walked in the find him wide awake playing. He's getting so big. His curiosity is just amazing to me. Everything around him, he's taking it in, and checking it out. This morning Chris woke up to go get him, and I guess he was turned around the other way all the way up the crib. What a little wiggely boy. I don't mind this at all, I love that he is able to entertain himself, and understand what's around him.

This video was him today. He has his blanky by his head. (10 minutes after this video I took the last picture on this post...look at his progress.)

This was yesterday. Sorry I had the blinds closed, so it's hard to see.

as I was typing this blog I heard Carter's alarm go off, rushing in to make sure he was still okay this is what I saw. I guess he has rolled out of the sensors range. you can see where his white blanket is...that's where I laid him down, feet facing to your right. I was talking with my friend Courtney about the fact that I still swaddle him...I guess you are right. He will let me know when he is done with that. I think yesterday and today he's letting me know.
