NOTRE DAME HATS AND MRS. GROUNDHOG

The mornings are a little hectic sometimes at our house. I usually stay up pretty late (Hi...it's 3 a.m...how about some sleep!)  working on different projects for clients so when Cole rises bright and shiny at 6 a.m. (EVERY MORNING!...no...... really EVERY MORNING...even Saturday AND Sunday!) sometimes I'm a little groggy to say the least. After a few minutes into the theme song from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse I snap out of it and start the coffee pot. Cole has his specific favorites for breakfast every morning. These  include sausage, sliced strawberries and of course blueberries (how did I get such a high maintence kid...oh....... have you met my hubby...Christopher?!). We follow this routine every morning....except for the mornings that we have leftover pizza. Then it's off to the bath-tub, brushing the teeth, etc. 

So this week I took some photos of Carter after I loaded him into his car seat. He...is definitely my child. He savors the quiet moments in the mornings while he stares at his hands and lays quietly in his crib smiling and laughing.( Please note, Cole NEVER ever did this). Ah....a quiet baby..such a HAPPY baby! Carter is also a late sleeper he could snooze late into the morning (8 a.m.!)  if I could keep Cole quiet. Cole enjoys singing while in the bathtub.  Please enjoy with your viewing pleasure Carter in his Notre Dame hat (Thanks Grama LeeAnn and Grampa Gil!) as he too struggles to face the day and brave the wintery cold weather outside to drop Cole (a.k.a. Mr. Morning Sunshine) off at school. 

And just for the heck of it. Here is Cole with his picture (1/2 of it!) of Sheila the Groundhog he made at school. Yes, she did see her shadow Cole informed me!
