Six months in Vegas and Halloween

Carter and Logan celebrated their 6 month birthday last Friday by going to the doctors, and then Carter decided he wanted a little more celebration, so he convinced mommy to take him to Las Vegas for a day.

Okay, so that wasn't exactly how it came about, but we did still go to Las Vegas for a day. My grandmother lives there (as well as my father and some other family) and I was given the opportunity to use an expiring plane ticket this weekend to visit her, since she is not in the best of health. We had discussed me going and having the boys stay with Evan while he went up to his dad's house, but on consulting his dad (at the last minute, of course) we realized that he was out of town the entire weekend. It is free to take a child on the plane up to age two, and my father hasn't met the boys yet, so we thought it would be a treat for me to take one.

Deciding who to take wasn't too difficult, either. Both of the boys have had a little cold and since Logan was still a bit congested and his brother wasn't (as confirmed by the doctor's little light-up-the-nose thingy), Carter came with me. He did very well on the plane, and even though we didn't get in to bed until after midnight Friday night, he went to sleep well and woke up smiling. We went trick-r-treating with my little sister Kelly (who was a kitty) and Carter (the monkey) even held his own bag for most of the way (he rode in the baby Bjorn). I felt a little bad at first when people gave us candy, but everyone thought he was so cute, they loved putting it in to his bag. It is with great regret that I must eat all of his candy. (I was a mouse, by the way, since my ears are flattened in the picture).

We carved pumpkins too, and Carter's turned out great!


Logan and Daddy stayed home all day and handed out candy. This picture is actually taken Sunday, but I am told Logan answered the door in only his diaper and his sexy abs won the hearts of at least 8 13 yr-old girls.



As for the Doctor's visit, Carter is now 15 lbs oz and his brother is 14 lbs 15.9 oz. Logan's catching up (and he also has a bigger head). They are the same height, though, and both are in perfect health. Yeah!!
