Uncle Harry Steve

Carter meets Eric's Uncle Harry (or Steve depending on who you ask). Carter made it out with his fingers, but just barely.

All American Cutie

Grass for the first time. He wasn't really sure about it...


At the Botanical Gardens on the 4th of July.

Smiles

Yeah I know we've been slack posting, but just look at this face. Could you tell him not to do anything cute while you're messing around on the computer?

Bath Time

The first "full" bath went surprisingly well. Carter liked the water and didn't complain a bit. He's already almost too big to be washed in the sink. Que sera sera. Several pics because I couldn't decide.

He has no idea what's coming. Poor kid.


Notice how we managed to take bath pictures without his little bits showing? He'll thank us for that someday. Right after he gets mad that we posted all his baby pictures on this blog.


There's that suspicious look again...


Drying off. And coming to the end of Carter's patience with us.


Clean baby. Check out the hair a'la Don King.


Clean babies smell good.

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.
