We woke up Christmas morning to a "talking" baby over the monitor. Every morning that Carter wakes up on his own, he sits up and starts telling us (in his own way) that he is ready to get up! Some mornings he bangs his pacifier on the railings to get out attention. He doesn't like staying in his bed long after he wakes up as you can tell. We gave him his morning bottle before we all went downstairs to see what Santa had left. Carter had so much fun with the bows and tissue paper. Unfortunately, Santa didn't wrap Carter's presents in paper that liked to rip so we had to help get into his presents several times. (Note to Santa: Try ripping the paper before you wrap the gifts!) Carter enjoyed unwrapping for about 20 minutes and then was over it! Courtney cooked biscuits, sausage, gravy, and eggs for our 1st Christmas breakfast together. It seemed Carter enjoyed the food more than the presents! We had a wonderful 1st Christmas morning together! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family to enjoy this special day together!
Santa must have enjoyed our cookies after all!

We put Carter down and he took off straight for the big bow!

"Look at my new books!"Carter LOVES the books by Eric Carle. His favorite is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". He even has the caterpillar that goes along with the book and it is always one of his favorite toys.
He has to have a school bus with both mommy and daddy being teachers!
Time to take a snack break!
"YUMMY!"
Carter refuses baby food so now he eats basically whatever we are eating... and loves every bite!
Carter with all of his new things!
Merry Christmas From Our Family to Yours!
