First bottle

He looks like he needs a drinking buddy...

...There's one. Already hanging out with the ladies and knockin' back some brews. Relax folks. The cap is still on.

It's really hard to hold onto Carter with so many willing volunteers. Tonya and Carter are also hair twins or at least hair cousins. This was infinitely interesting to Carter.

Is that goose following me?

Today is Carter's one month birthday. We decided to go to Country Park and walk the loop around the lake. As usual, he slept through most of it. We tried to show him geese, baby geese, ducks, turtles and a snake. All he managed to see was a tree. At least we're making progress.


Lots and lots of geese. And babies. It is spring after all.


Carter had lots of new friends. Unfortunately, he was blissfully unaware of any of them.


Carter and Mommy. He DOES have eyes. And look! They even open!

Random Pics

Just a few random pics from recent events. I don't have anything brilliant to say as an overall comment, so I'm just throwing pics up. After all, that's what you really came here for anyway.

Grandma Simpson and Carter "resting their eyes".


The "OGs" (Other Grandparents) come for a visit.


Daddy wants Carter to have an appreciation for all types of music. Finally SOMEONE that likes to hear him play the didgeridoo.


Chris' nephew Fletcher will have a new little brother very soon. For now, he's practicing with Carter. Hair twins. So cool.

First taste of homemade strawberry ice cream. He'll like it better later. Or maybe he's mad about the fauxhawk we gave him. Nah. That's not it.

The Great Sleeping Houdini

He starts out sort of like this.


This morning we found him like this...

I swear he started out with clothes on. I know Eric and I say we support anything he wants to do that will allow us to retire early, but I seriously hope Escape Artist isn't it. Anyone have a lifetime supply of valium I can borrow?

Suspicion

Just love this look. He does it a lot. Especially around bath time. I don't think he trusts us.

Work with Daddy Day

We took Carter to Computer Tree to meet all Eric's co-workers. We spent most of the time trying to wake him up because everyone wanted to see his eyes. Not much luck. He was out. From his posture in the first picture, I don't think he got much out of his first server lesson either.

Eric gives Carter his first lesson in nerd...I mean servers. :)


Is that Lisa? Holding a baby? You saw it here first, folks.


Kim had a hard time sharing.

My First Charity Walk

Carter went on his first charity walk today to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We raised $555.07. Carter slept the whole way. He's been on several walks and still has yet to see anything outdoors.

Mmmmm Pizza!

Carter had his first outing tonight to celebrate his first official week in the world. Slept blissfully through the entire thing. Then it was home for cupcakes. Not a bad day all in all.

Mom and dad, Aunt Juniper, Uncle Eric and Miss Scarlett took Carter out for pizza.

Happy 1 Week Birthday, dear Carter...


It's all rather confusing at this point, especially the icing on his nose. Daddy helped him a little with that.

Doctor's Appointment

Carter had his first doctor's appointment this morning. He has gained half an ounce from his weight leaving the hospital. The doctor said he was amazing. We thought so, but it's nice to have a medical opinion to confirm it. He was pretty happy about it.

Family Album

Grandma Simpson. We were toying with a title of "meemaw", but she resisted.

Grandpa Simpson. Carter's middle name is Simpson after him.


Grandma Hughes. She was SO ready for her first grandbaby.

Papum Hughes. Three generations of Hughes men.

Nanah Hughes. Carter has lots of grandmas to love him.


Aunt Candace. Reminiscing about Rachel being that small.

Cousin Rachel. Carter's only got one first cousin, so he's lucky to have such a great one.
