flowers for mommy

This afternoon Carter was playing in the backyard. He "mowed the grass", threw sticks to Tucker, pushed the dump truck and explored for about 45 minutes when all of a sudden I hear him telling Keith "I got some flowers for mommy." I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and in he walks with these "flowers" crunched up in his little hand. He was so proud of those little petals and so was I. Maybe next time he'll make it inside with the petals actually attached to something. Regardless, it absolutely melted my heart since those were the first flowers my little one has ever picked & brought to me.

In the meantime, Coleman has been playing in the exersaucer a little more each day. He really loves hanging out in there and exploring all of the attached toys. He has also found that he LOVES rice cereal. He sits with his little mouth open like a bird waiting for that spoon. I really have to stop and watch him sometimes because I can't believe how quickly he is growing up.
