3 months old....

Carter will be 3 months old on Tuesday, the 25th! Wow!! He has had an eventful month. He is continually growing & changing. He is sleeping like an angel at night (but not a big fan of naps apparently). He has perfected holding his head up and he loves sitting and standing up...and I swear he will sit up unassisted soon, he is a STRONG boy!! He still plays in his Bumbo, bouncy seat, and in his gym. He loves going for walks in his stroller or in his Baby Bjorn (notice the pic of Tim carrying him on one of our walks....The Hangover anyone?! Should we name him Baby Carlos?! Lol!) Our newest toy is the Doorway Jumper. Tim absolutely lived in his as a baby. So we are hoping Carter enjoys his as much. (He is a little small for it right now though, so no pics yet!) :) Also, he enjoys being read to. His favorite book is called Colors. He discovered his hands a few weeks ago...and that is my absolute favorite thing EVER! He loves staring at them...and putting them in his mouth of course (which means he discovered the washcloth in the bath & how yummy it is....love it!). He still talks all the time, blows bubbles, drools like crazy. We even managed to catch him laughing...see the video below. So fun!

2 months old....

On Sunday, Carter turned 2 months old. Where has the time gone?! We had his 2 month checkup yesterday. The doctor said he looks perfect! Little man is almost 23 inches now...and weighs 13 lbs 6 oz! WOW!

Here are some pictures of what he's been up to over the last few weeks. Still loves his bouncy seat (especially playing with Mommy in the mornings....check out the bed head!), playing in his gym, he sits in his Bumbo seat now, loves holding & shaking his rattles, smiling & LAUGHING...and he made his first trip to church (Picture above. Don't ask how that went! Let's just say I am quite familiar with the 'cry room' and boy is the name fitting! Ha!)

Professional Pics...

Here are the professional pictures we had taken of Carter when he was 5 weeks old. The photographer came out to the house to take them....it was so easy!

Below are the pictures we had taken in the hospital, when he was 3 days old. He has changed so much!

6 weeks old...

Wow, has time just flown by or what?! Carter turned 6 weeks old today! He has changed and grown so much.... Here are some pictures to keep everyone up to date (oldest, when he was about 2 weeks old to most recent).

In the last few weeks, he has grown out of his newborn diapers, clothes & pacifiers! You can see he spends a lot of time in his bouncy seat, playing in his 'gym,' watching March Madness in his longhorn outfit (good thing he fell asleep and missed our OT loss to Wake Forest!), smiling (you can see how much he looks like his Daddy) and also starting to coo and 'talk' quite a bit lately (where in the world does he get that urge to talk?!?).

We are really having a BLAST with him...we feel like he changes and grows every week. What a blessing!

Carter is here! Our first week...

Carter Thomas arrived on February 25, 2010. Delivery day was pretty rough for the little guy...but when all was said and done, he weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz., was 21 inches long and healthy as can be.

Here are some pictures...Starting with a few shots from the operating room (when I got to meet him for the first time), some of our days at the hospital, on our way home and some of our first week at home (including his first bath). More to come, as he seems to change every day! Enjoy :)
