Nothing exciting to report

Well here we are...another week has gone by and it's already Monday again.  Carter is getting so big!  He is probably close to 9 pounds now and I can't believe this week he will be a month old!  The time is going by way too fast! Last week was Ryan's first full week back to work and slowing we are falling into a routine. Being home with him by myself all day is a lot different than I thought. I thought it would be much harder, but he is a really great baby.  He only fusses if he needs something and he never cries just because.  He is also starting to figure out his days and nights.  He wakes up about twice in the middle of the night to eat and be changed, but lately goes right back to sleep with no problems.  In fact, last night Ryan and I were able to get two good three hour stretches of sleep, which was AWESOME! :) 

We are getting a little more comfortable taking Carter out and about with us.  Over the weekend we went on our first grocery shopping trip with him.  He did a really good, just slept most of the time, in fact we were about to make it to Target also.  Yesterday we decided to get out and do a bit more shopping, this time we went to the Castle Rock Outlets.  I wanted to check out some of the kids clothes stores.  We were able to find A LOT of really cute stuff and it was all on sale.  So we picked up some 3 month outfits for him. He is about 1 week away from not fitting into any newborn stuff anymore.  (Baby clothes are weird, some brands he fits into 3 month already and others he fits in newborn.)  We also picked up the cutest pair of sunglasses for him and a matching sun hat.   Hopefully the weather starts cooperating more so that we can use them!  Some hot summer days would be great right now! We are really anxious for our pool to open up so we can take him swimming.  That will be the next shopping trip...baby swim gear.  :)
