1 Month Old

I can't believe I'm already posting that Carter is a month old. This first month has gone by so quickly! If this sets the pace for his first year, he won't be a baby for long! I'm definitely trying to enjoy every moment (even the crying ones!) each day. They grow too fast! Here are some pictures from today.

Of course since I wasn't TRYING to take pictures of her, Gabby wanted a "pishsure" too!
And this about sums Carter up...

Her Soup

The last couple of weeks we've been hearing Gabby talk a lot about her "soup." No, she hasn't decided that soup is her favorite food. She's not even refering to the food. She's actually talking about her swim suit... her "soup"! At first I think she may have said "suit," but for some reason she's changed it! She would be happy just to wear a swim suit inside the house to play and watch t.v. like she has all afternoon today. Of course she loves to play in the water, but her suit is the main thing (any one of them...doesn't matter which one as long as it's a swim suit!)

1st Haircut

Gabby had her first haircut on Memorial Day. We had to grab her quick before she got soaked playing in the water. It seems like we cut a lot off, but at least it's even now and hopefully it'll grow fast! I'll have to get a good picture of it when it's fixed one day soon!

He's here!

New

The one word title stands for a lot. We started the actual building of our house about a month ago. Yesterday they started framing, and they have gone so fast! I'm amazed.

Also, baby Carter should be joining our family on Thursday! On Saturday night/Sunday morning we went to the hospital at 3 am because I was having lots of contractions. They had me hooked up to the monitors for about 7 hours! The contractions slowed down so they sent me home. Dr. is going to induce Thursday. I can't believe we'll be a family of 4 in less than 48 hours! Excitement, nervousness...it's all starting to set in now!

So...new baby, new house...

Here is Gabby and me (and Carter!) earlier today checking out the work they've done at our future home!

Getting Ready

Gabby wanted to get in the crib while I had Chad taking a few pictures last night. I don't have many pictures of my growing belly this pregnancy. This is probably one of the last pregnant photos this time around! (A girl can hope can't she?)

Babies

I took these photos about a week and a half ago so I could post some recent photos of Gabby and just have some everyday shots of her playing. I meant to post these that the same day. Although it's not quite same day, here is Gabby playing with her baby dolls a few days ago.



I just hope she's this sweet to baby Carter when he makes his arrival. Which, by the way, could be anytime now! Due date is officially 3 weeks away...and counting!
