The Hogrefe Household has been up to some fun things since the last post. Yesterday, for Father's Day, we had a great time at a 1st Birthday Party for our friends son Reed. Carter ran around and keep Papa busy trying to keep him from running into the road. :-) Addyson stole the show in her little hula outfit (the party had a luau theme). We had a great lunch there and had fun playing with all the kids and visiting with friends. After the party, we went home and Carter and Papa, who was post-call, napped while Mama and Addy watched the Cubbies. Then Carter and Papa went to Toy Story 3 as their Father's Day father/son time. I was very worried that Carter wouldn't sit still through the whole movie, but as it turned out he was extremely well behaved and cried when it was over! They both thought the movie was excellent and Chris thinks it's the best of the Toy Story series. For supper we had Papa's favorite meal. Meatloaf, hashbrown casserole, corn, fresh rolls, and strawberry pie were on the menu. Carter even suprised us and ate some meatloat. Maybe he's getting over his aversion to ground meats. We can only hope--this is a Hamburger Helper family! We finished up the evening reading books to the kids before bed. It was a fantastic day.
I wanted to let you all know about some of the super cute things Carter's been saying lately. He's stringing more words together and is communicating much better. Our household is filled with a little less whining and pointing and grunting.
1) Owwwwww. Mama 'mooch! (This is what Carter said to me when he bonked his head and his owie needed a kiss.)
2) Awish. Wooo wooo. (This is what Carter says when he's done eating and wants Alice to eat the rest of his food. Alice. Woof woof.)
3) Mama. Baby! Uh oh! (This is what Carter yelled from his bedroom the other morning when he heard Addy crying).)
4) Ewmo down, pwease. (This is what he says when he wants to watch Elmo and get down and dance with him.)
He is so funny! We are really enjoying watching both the kiddos grow and change daily. Addy has been smiling much more lately and I finally caught the tail end of a smile with the camera today.
Finally, on Friday night, Chris and I had our first night out since Addy came along. We went to the residency graduation ceremony and then downtown for drinks with the class afterward. We had so darn much fun and although I missed the kids and texted/called my mom incessantly to check on them, it was totally worth it!
Have a great day, all!
