Happy Memorial Day!

Our friends, the Blairs, had our church small group over for a cookout and pool party on Memorial Day (Monday, May 25th). The morning was very overcast and it didn't look like a good day for a swim but by that afternoon the sun was up and shining bright! Courtney was so excited to get Carter in his bathing suit and let him get in the pool.

Hanging out by the pool!

Carter in his bathing suit gear!

Courtney put him in up to his waist and he really liked it! He was "talking" the entire time!

He started to get over it and let us know!

All the girls with the babies!

When our small group first got together, Jordan was the only child- now look at us!!

A Bouncing Good Time

We took Carter to his 1st party at Bounce U.S.A. on Sunday, May 24th. Our friend's little boy, Keltin, was turning 2 years old so they invited Carter. He couldn't really do too much but he loved watching everyone and seeing all the big inflatables.

Here we are in the Bounce House letting Carter watch all his little friends jump around.

We sat Carter in the ball pit and he loved looking at all the bright colors!

"I've fallen and I can't get up!"

We think it was a little overstimulating for him because within 45 minutes, he was wiped out!

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a very emotional day for me. Knowing that I had to go back to work and leave my little man the next day was heartbreaking. Joe was super sweet that day and just let me cry whenever I needed to without saying anything about it. I only had 2 weeks of school until summer vacation so I just kept counting down the days until I would be home with Carter again. I never knew it would be so hard to leave him and go back to work. Needless to say, my 1st Mother's Day was bittersweet. I am just so thankful that God has given me the most precious gift ever- my baby boy!

Carter and Mommy- the best of buddies!

2 Months Old!

On Thursday, April 30th, we took Carter for his 2 month check-up. Dr. Roberts and Nurse Lou couldn't believe how much he had grown! He had to have 3 shots and a drinkable vaccine. He did better than we expected with the shots. He loved the drinkable vaccine! It's obvious Carter never misses a meal! We can't wait to start giving him cereal in a few months- he'll love it!

Our little chunky monkey!

He weighed 15 pounds 4 ounces with an ounce taken off for the weight of the diaper (95%)! We decided not to buy any more size 2 diapers since he is getting so big! He already is growing out of his 3-6 months clothes too!

He still has a little head- 39.7cm (31%).

Here's a picture with his little boo-boo bandaid!
