Getting REALLY big!

Hello everyone who reads this!

Well, we are doing great! I can't wait til summer gets here....and spring break (4 days of work left!) Carter is growing so fast! He is already over 14 pounds! He is just getting over his first cold, but luckily he only had to miss a half day of daycare...so that's good. He is rolling over and pushing up on his arms...so i guess the next step is crawling!! I think i can wait awhile for that though :)
He is still sleeping through the night! He will be 4 months old next week and will get his shots then too...no fun.
Here are some recent pictures...

work, daycare, and lots of fun in between

So I started back to work 2 weeks ago. It went really well! I didn't even cry when I dropped off Carter at daycare! I was so proud of myself. He did great at daycare his first week and even better his second week. I was nervous that he wouldn't sleep good at night anymore when he started daycare because I thought he would sleep all day there...but, I think he sleeps even better at night now!! Eight hours! We are so lucky!
Carter also got his shots...not a fun experience for him, or for me. Lots of screaming and a little fever:(
Yesterday at daycare he got Valentine's from some of his "classmates"...so cute...instead of candy, one had a teething biscuit attached to it!
Carter's baby dedication is tomorrow at church so that should be fun. Our families will all be there!
Here are some pictures from this month.

getting bigger everyday!!

Carter is getting so big! We tried to weigh him the other day and it was almost 10 pounds! I'm not sure how accurate that was, but I bet it's pretty close! He is sleeping almost through the night! About 6-7 hours, from 11 pm til 6 am. He can hold his head up pretty good! He is so strong and so much more alert these days. He loves to stare at the ceiling fan and at lights. He is almost smiling! We are just so in love with him. I have to go back to work on Feb. 2. Carter will start day care that same day at Willow Point. I met the teachers the other day and I am very excited about it! They are going to take such good care of him, I just know it!
Well, here are some recent pictures...

New Pictures!

Mommy giving him a bath...he does not like this as you can tell from his expression.

He's finally here!

Well, Carter is here!!
He got here Monday night at 5:01 pm.
He weighed 8 lb. 4 oz. and was 21 inches long.
He has a blonde mohawk!! We can't flatten it, it's so cute!
He looks more like Leighton than me. He has his nose and forehead and mouth. I can't decide about his eyes yet...I'm not sure if they are mine or Leighton's.
He is absolutely perfect and we are so excited about coming home!
We got to come home Wednesday afternoon...so last night was our first night with a baby at our house...it was interesting... a lot of crying and feeding and not much sleep at all...but overall, it went better than I thought. We will see how tonight goes!
Our dog Cohen doesn't know what to think yet! She just stares at Carter and tries to lick him.
We go to see the pediatrician tomorrow, so that will be our first trip outside the house together! It should be fun!
