I feel like a bad mommy
Just 2 days ago I announced that Carter's top tooth finally popped through well tonight just minutes ago I was laying in the bed with him tickling him when what do I notice, 2 more teeth have popped through and I didn't even no about them. What kind of mom doesn't notice when her child is getting 3 teeth in at once not just the one tooth we knew was coming in. What is odd though is he got his top right tooth, and now his 2 eye teeth but the top left tooth isn't out yet. I am sure it will be in a day or so. Gosh 4 teeth at once and really he isn't all that crabby. But now I totally understand why he wasn't a happy camper on Christmas. My poor baby!

9 Months
Carter is 9 months today I can not believe he is so freaking old already where the hell has time gone. It makes me so so sad!
On Monday I took Carter for his 9 month picture. They turned out terrible. We had a great photographer and the stupid company laid her off. But they left this terrible lady there. She was just not the greatest person with kids to say the least. The problem is we have already paid for all of his sittings until 18 months, which includes a free 8x10 each time. So we have 3 sittings left. 9 months, 1 year and 18 months. So I took him in anyways already knowing I didn't like the lady. And I was right they came out not so great. So yesterday I went back in there to tell them that I would only be getting an 8x10 because I didn't like the lady and I didn't like how the pictures turned out. She gave us about 10 mins and Carter wasn't smiling in any of the pictures. So I go to pick out my 8x10 and I am complaining to the lady (a different lady) who was helping my pick out my 8x10 and she told me that since I wasn't happy with them that she would re-shoot them for me. So we went back today and they came out a lot better. Carter still didn't want to smile for them but we atleast got 2 or 3 with him smiling. So I am happier now. I have to spend $50 or more to get the cd of the pictures so you will all have to wait until later this week to see them because I haven't decided on which shots I am going to order yet. Jim's picking up the proofs on the way home from work tomorrow so I havn't even got the proofs yet.
In other news Carter finally has his 3rd tooth his top right tooth finally popped through yesterday. We could see the tooth sitting on his gum line for 3 weeks it finally came through! It seemed like to took forever. So we do have a little bit of a crabby baby and mommy forgot the motrin at Grandma's house so I am going to have to run and pick that up in the morning. Tylonal isn't seeming to help. Though looking on the bright side he isn't crabby all of the time he just goes through spurts through out the day of crabyness. And I am sure the tooth popping through had something to do with why he wouldn't smile for his pictures!

Christmas 08
Well Christmas has come and gone and I finally have time to upload some pictures for you all to see. It was a great time and I can't wait to see what he thinks about it next year!
Christmas Eve is always my family. We had fun there. Its always the same old people but it was fun none the less. With all the new babies in my family it has really toned down a lot most people were leaving by 9:30ish and that is really early for my family when I was a child it Christmas Eve last well past midnight.
Christmas day was a laid back day at Jim's parents house as it always did. We opened gift and ate a wonderful turkey and ham dinner it was great. Carter got really spoiled with gifts!
And now what you all came here to see the pictures!

Mall of America Part 2
At the end of our day we all stopped at Under Water World. It was expensive but worth it. We were all so tried and just wanted to get out of the mall but I really wanted to let Carter see the Sharks and other water life. He really did like it.
Wow pine needles feel just like the Christmas tree and hey Carter isn't getting told no when he touched these ones.
Sitting with a beaver.
This thing swam right at us and then over us.
Making our way through under water world.

A fish with a huge mouth!
Carter loved this thing until it when to the top of the cage and started splashing us.
An icky octopus.
The last elevator ride of the day.
The sky line from the mall parking ramp.

We need votes!
A couple months ago I entered a picture of Carter and the 3 pugs in to a photo competition. (I never enter those things no clue why I did) Its through barkbusters.com and the grand prize winner gets $500 to give to a local animal related charity. Out of a couple hundred pictures the judges decided on the top 5 pictures. We were included in the top 5. Now all we need is votes. Its only one vote per email address. So we really need to get the world out. We are the only pugs, and the only baby. (I think Carter is was about a week old in the picture) I know the pug community is huge and honestly I think that if the word gets out it could be a really easy $500 for the MN pug rescue. Anyways please take the time to vote it only takes a couple mins.
Go Here to vote!

First Santa Sighting
Tonight Carter, Mom, Dad and Grandma went and saw Santa. Carter did great and only cried one time and for no reason. Dad says we still have to take him to the mall to see Santa. Mom isn't so keen on the idea of standing in that terrible line with all those not so happy parents and crabby kids just to see Santa.
Telling Santa what he wants for christmas.
