It's a Hard Knock Life For Us...

I just love it when babies sleep like this! Man, he's got it rough!

Play Time!

Now that Carter is awake for longer periods of time I've been putting him on the floor to play with some of his toys and watch Parker run around. Parker loves laying next to him and "helping" him play with his toys. I have to watch them pretty closely because while Parker is trying to be sweet by playing with his brother he sometimes isn't as careful about where he moves his arms and legs and he's been know to bonk Carter in the head on accident. I know Parker is going to just love it when Carter gets a little older and can actually play with him.

The Many Faces of Parker

It all started with "mean face" and while my dad and Dixie were here they added to his repertoire by teaching him the "happy face" and the "surprised face". I'm not really sure how it all started but it's pretty funny!

Where has the time gone...

It seems like we just brought Carter home last week! I can't believe that he's already a month old! Luckly, he is such an easy going baby and has been an absolute blessing. Each day he is becoming more and more alert and even staying awake for longer periods during the day. I can't wait for him to crack that first smile which I think will be any day now.

He had his one month check up yesterday and weighed in at 8lbs! I couldn't believe how much weight he had gained! It is so encouraging to see such a big weight gain while nursing so I couldn't be more happy. He's also grown half an inch since birth which puts him at 20inches. All in all he's doing great!

*I'll post more pictures of both boys soon*
