Birth - Day

We started out Carter's first birthday with some yummo banana pancakes, since bananas are his fave. Breakfast was very fun and delicious. Next, we turned his car seat around to face the way all the rest of the people in the car face - FORWARD! This sounds silly, but is a big deal. I mean, who wants to face backwards in the car? Boring! So, then Carter and I ran errands to check out life facing forward. Fun times.

Later in the day, after nap time, we went over to a little local petting zoo because it was such a nice day out. Carter enjoyed all the animals and loved swinging. We ran into Jason's friend, his daughter (4 months older than Carter), and wife, so that's who the little girl is in the pics below. Eric (the little girls dad) put her in the swing with Carter, it was hilarious. I think they both enjoyed it. You should've seen the brand new piglets there, they were so tiny and CUTE! It was the most enjoyable day!

Sharing a swing, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Ellia...she was so cute (love the name too!)

Oh, and we found out Carter is very afraid of slides. Not sure why. We've got to get him out to more parks for sure!!
