swim lessons

Carter completed his first session of official swim lessons. It was a mommy & me class and our little guy totally enjoyed it. The classes were designed to get the kids comfortable with the water. Carter loves the water so the lessons were a piece of cake. He loved singing songs, kicking on his front, blowing bubbles and jumping in from the side. He also thought it was fun to swim around gathering the rubber ducks the teacher would throw into the pool. The two aspects of lessons Carter didn't like were floating on his back and having to get out of the pool when the lessons were over. I think he could play in there for hours! Here are a few pictures from class.......well, actually I got the dates mixed up and class was already over so really here are a few shots of us just swimming in the pool.
P.S. I am 7+ months pregnant AND I'm wearing a swimming suit in the middle of winter. Yikes!

twilight parade

Broad Ripple Village had a, well, less than impressive twilight Christmas parade on Saturday night. We decided to check it out because it was close by, free and would keep our holiday spirits high. Carter liked waiving at everyone. He also enjoyed the fire trucks and Santa who was in a horse drawn carriage. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.
Happy Holidays!

Amy Winehouse? Maybe not.

What do you do when your 20 month old son loves to say, no? Well, turn it into a song of course.

Maybe not the best song to sing, but rather funny nonetheless.

Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"
Chorus:
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no".
Yes, I've been black but when I come back you'll know, know, know.
I ain't got the time and if my daddy things I'm fine He's tried to make me go to rehab, I won't go, go, go.

Carter Meek, "Rehab"
Chorus:
They want me to go to rehab, and I said, "No, no, no".

Thanksgiving Trip

The Meeks spent Thanksgiving in Massachusetts visiting Uncle Kevin, Aunt Amy and cousin Grayson (10 weeks old).Carter was great around the baby. He liked to point out his nose and give him lots of hugs.
Grayson is a baby who loves action and noise so this little guy was in heaven most of the weekend. Here's a pic of the little guy enjoying Thanksgiving dinner.
Carter spent most of time playing with his 3 year old cousin, Aidan.

The boys had fun playing the piano and running through the house. Aidan loved to chase Carter around and would try his hardest to get Carter to wrestle with him(which only made Carter cry). Aidan also showed Carter how to climb out of the pack n play. (Because of his escaping skills, Carter is officially into a big boy bed now).

Our daughter is going to have her hands full with the older boys for years to come!
Other vacation highlights include: a trip to the bowling alley, playing at a couple of local parks, going to see the most awesome Christmas light display imaginable and having the boys get their picture taken with Santa. Sorry, all of those pictures have not been downloaded yet.

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Happy Holidays!!

Happy Halloween

Carter had a blast on Halloween. He dressed as a lion and surprisingly he was happy wearing his costume all day. In the morning we took Carter to a Halloween party at his friends' house (James and Will Kelker). He enjoyed playing in the big leaf pile, decorating pumpkins and playing with their toys and the other kids.After a very long nap, it was time to trick or treat. We stopped by Papa Big's house to see what candy he had. We also helped hand out candy to the neighborhood kids.
Our last Halloween stop was to trick or treat at Aunt Lisa and Uncle Vince's house. We got there in time to enjoy the bonfire, run in the yard and play with their dog Smokey.
We hope you had a fun Halloween too!
