11 weeks old!

Well well...I can't say I have much time to do much of ANYTHING lately. Which is why I haven't updated this blog in a while.  People that update everyday...please tell me how you do it! Carter is definitely a full time job and I can't even imagine what things will be like when both Ryan and I are working full time and then coming home to a full time baby.  

So Carter is 11 weeks today!  Wow...I am amazed at how big he already is.  He had his 2 month check up a few weeks ago and weighs about 13 lbs and is almost 25" long.  He got 3 shots and didn't hardly cry at all. He sleeps maybe a 3-4 hour stretch, if we are lucky, BUT we are working on that.  He is learning how to sit, in fact he really doesn't like laying down.  He would rather be up looking around at everything.  I only have about a week and a half left before going back to work, but until then Carter and I try to do lots of things through out the day.  I read books to him, he plays on his playmat, we listen to a lot of music while dancing and singing, and we like to take the dogs to the park and walk around.  Allee and Aston are adjusting very well.  They both love to give kisses to Carter and I help Carter pet them.  They h

ave it coming to them once Carter starts to get mobile.  :)

On a different note Ryan and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on  June 7th.  I can't believe it has been a year already and a very full year at that.  We spent the day with Carter, hanging out at home which was special for us.  Maybe next year we can have a trip planned back to Hawaii....that's the plan...well...at least it's my plan. :)  I love that place and hope to take Carter there.  In the mean time we love summer in Colorado and are enjoying the weather! 

2 Months Old ALREADY! Where did the time go?

I can't even believe 2 months have already gone by since bringing Carter home.  He has definitely stolen our hearts and makes our life so much more complete.  He changes literally every single day, there is always something new he has learned.  He LOVES the mornings, each morning we come downstairs and he lays on his changing pad while we get breakfast going and he talks non stop (we always say he is telling us stories).  He can hold his head up much better now, but it still a little bit of a bobble head. He is learning how to grab toys that hang from his play mat. And the past couple days he has actually kind of started laughing.  It is only a half laugh and it happens very rarely, but it's so awesome when it does happen.  We are hoping to get out and take some 2 month photos of Carter this weekend, maybe even get a few family shots. 

Unfortunately by Carter being 2 months old now, that means I only have 1 month left of maternity leave from work.  I am a little bummed out about it.  I wish I could just stay home with my little Goose and if we were in a little bit better of a place financially I would...BUT some good news is while on maternity leave I applied for a promotion at work and GOT IT!  So when I go back to work I will be at the Highland's Ranch FedEx Office as the Store Manager.  This is a great opportunity for me and the family and I am anxious, nervous and excited about it.
