My Carter

Oh, my Carter Bear.

As your daycare teacher says "you are a really cool kid." You have the best and funniest personality. You enjoy being silly, but only with those that you hold near and dear to your heart. You're not much on strangers but love to kiss and hug on your family.

You're so sweet sucking that little thumb and snuggling your blankie or Baby up to your nose. You get that corner just right. Or you'll grab your mama's dress or shirt like so...


If big brother is doing it, you're right behind him. You have a thing for people taking off their shoes. I have to call your favorite cousin, Gracie, to ask her to take hers off, all the way in Virginia. You like to go around a room removing shoes and lining them all up. You also love music, especially the monkey song (The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars) and the robot song (Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO).


You're a smart little guy too. You know all of your colors and shapes. You talk in sentences longer than any I've ever heard come from a 2 year old. We watch Thomas the Train, Mickey Mouse, and Handy Manny frequently and you love to play with your "Yeg-os", just like Brother. You can't fall asleep without your fish aquarium light on (thanks Grandma and Grandpa!) and sleep with 3 Woodys.

You are a special little boy. You've taught us just how big love can be and you'll always hold a special place in my heart as my sweet little blonde hair, blue-eyed Mama's boy.

My Landon

Landon is at such a fun age. We have serious conversations where I know he's soaking it in and forming his opinions that are molding his little being.

He loves his family with a passion and is very affectionate.

He loves watching movies and eating popcorn. He can put together a Lego set in record time without much help (definitely has an engineering type of mind). He loves games (his favorites being a Lego robot game, Cootie, Hi Ho Cheerio, and hide & seek). He is showing an interest in science, which excites his Daddy and me, and has fun doing "ex-spear-a-mints". He is excelling at reading and writing.



He's such a kind-hearted, energetic, fun little guy. He taught me how to be a mother and will always hold a special place in my heart as my first.

The Zoo

Carter cried for 45 minutes last night because I wouldn't take him to the zoo. It started with him asking if there would be giraffes at Landon's school when we got there. I explained to him that giraffes do not attend school, but we can see them at the zoo. He asked to go to the zoo. I told him that we could go in the spring. Enter tears.

Landon even explained to him that we can't go now because the animals are all very sleepy and we wouldn't be able to see them.

Later, I was recounting the story to Christopher trying not to say the "Z" word. Landon was listening and chimed in, "Daddy, he's upset because we won't take him to the Z-O-O (spelling it out) tonight." He also had a look on his face like "can you believe that?"

Always a laugh in the Bagley household.

Landon's Winter Performance

Before the Christmas break (whew, I think I am done catch-up blogging!), Landon had his first school performance. The Kindergarten classes sang songs and then invited their parents back to their classroom to look over their work. I was so proud of my little guy!

Yee-haw, Cowboy!

Christmas Morning, Part 2

Here's the video of Christmas morning, as promised.

Cary Christmas Parade

Before Christmas, we went to the Cary Parade. This was both boys' first parade! There were fun sights and sounds, lots of candy (yes, that is a glove full of candy), and even snow!

A Few Winter Crafts

We had some time off around Christmas and were able to get a few fun holiday crafts in. Landon made a foam penguin and both boys helped decorate a gingerbread house. Well, Landon helped. Carter mostly ate.

Happy 2012!

Late night last night. Must sleep.
