Carter is 1 month old today...time flies!?!?!

Hanging out in his crib, playing with his doggie from Gabriel

It is hard to believe that Aaron and I have been parents for 1 month. Carter has been a great baby...fussy at times, and awake in the middle of the night when he should be sleeping...but besides that---GREAT! :) He has changed so much. He is starting to smile more and makes the cutest baby noises. His eating schedule has been a little off recently...it's so difficult working on a 2 or sometimes 3 hour feeding schedule. You never know when he is going to eat.

Last Friday, Carter met some of the ladies at mom's work. After that, we went to have Carter's picture taken. The appointment was at 3:40...and we were leaving at 6:40. Needless to say, it was an adventure. Carter was either fussy, eating, sleeping or peeing on me!!! The pictures turned out pretty good based on his age!

More to come after Carter's 1 month check up on Monday.

Aaron's parents come to visit

Today, Aaron's parens came to visit Carter on his 1 month birthday! :) He's changed so much since they first saw him when he was just 12 hours old! We had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings & choose your own desserts from Lowes. Of course, I got the character cupcake and convinnced Rachel to get one too! :)

Sleepless Nights

All nights & days are starting to run together...with some being better than others. Some nights we sleep, eat & go right back to sleep. Other nights are not so good. Aaron manages to sleep while Carter cries through the night. I spend different amounts of time holding him and letting him sleep on my chest. He has gotten more onto a schedule of waking up every 3 hours to eat...and some nights, he doesn't really sleep between feedings. All in all, I am surviving on these small increments of sleep somehow! :)

This is NOT a posed picture. I LOVE this picture. It just cracks me up. I hope this precious baby gets my sense of humor!!!

Carter enjoys sitting up!

and sleeping in any position!

The dogs have really enjoyed having Carter around. There are nights when Jonah has sympathy cries when Carter cries. They like to just look at him and check on him when he is upset.
