Carter & Marissa's Playdate

Stephanie and her daughter Marissa stopped over on Saturday afternoon for a playdate with Carter. We always enjoy having them over. They have a great time together. As soon as Steph puts Marissa down to play, she's all over Carter's toys. It's hilarious because Carter just stands there for the longest time and doesn't move. He just watches her delve into his stuff for awhile before he joins in the fun. Ken was home, and got to see them together for the first time. He couldn't believe how quiet Carter was!!! After about 20 minutes of watching her, he finally joined in on the fun. Marissa really liked Carter's Mardi Gras beads!

Here's my silly boy, hamming it up for the camera!!!

Carter enjoyed showing Marissa some of his favorite toys and stuffed animals. He kept handing her stuff. It was too cute.

SNACK TIME!!! All that playing made the little ones hungry! When I put down the treats, they dove right in. Marissa really liked the Honey Bees graham crackers.

Marissa likes to make silly faces too!!! Perhaps that's why the two of them get along so well.

PEEK-A-BOO!!! I see you!!! She always has fun in the ball pit! Marissa has her own at home too.

She's such a cutie-pie! I look at her and think about Danielle and wonder how she'll be at Marissa's age.

Everytime these two are together they end up swapping sippy cups! It's crazy. At one point, we had 3 sippy cups floating around the living room. Carter tries to hoard them all. He is still learning the whole concept of sharing. What do you think of Carter's outfit??? His Aunt Cathy got it for him recently and I think he looks adorable in it!

Carter LOVES his new playmate so much and decided to show her with a great big bear hug! She was a bit taken back by his affection, but enjoyed the gesture nonetheless. He's such a good boy!

Carter showing off by doing his inchworm across the living room floor. Marissa was very curious. I'm sure she hasn't seen any of her other friends do this before!

Hmmmmm. . . I could be wrong, but it looks like she's trying to hold his hand here. Future love connection??? What do you think?

Marissa is happy as a clam! She had a great time visiting Carter. With summer fast approaching, we can't wait to get the two of them in some outdoor activities! Stephanie recently bought some outdoor water toys for Marissa, so perhaps we'll head over to her place next time.
