Carter's new obsession. Toes.
back to work.
>> March 31, 2010
Change is never easy, but always necessary. After having an amazing 4 months of maternity leave, I have to return to work tomorrow morning. I have been dreading this day since I had Carter. I just love being at home with him. It is such a joy to watch him play, discover, laugh and learn new things every day. The last 4 months have been some of the happiest moments of my life (I'm not completely naive - there were difficult moments too!) and I will always cherish that time I had with my beautiful baby.
Tomorrow a new routine will begin. Playing with new friends, napping at a new place, drinking from a bottle - changes Carter will adapt to. Balancing work and baby, husband and dog, friends and home - changes I will somehow learn to manage.
Carter - you are such a blessing in our lives. You are sweet, silly, cuddly and smart. You amaze me at how advanced you are for your age. Your smile melts my heart. To us, you are perfect.

Here's what Carter has been up to in the last few weeks.
Learning how to use a Mac.
Mastering the art of the jumperoo.
Showing off his first polo shirt. (Anyone who knows Matt knows he owns a lot of polo shirts. So, naturally Carter needed one too - thanks Jake!)
Going on walks with mom.
Getting cozy on the floor with Yoshi. We've also entered into the fun world of teething. Constant drool throughout the day, many bib changes and a little fussiness but no teeth yet!
Celebrating the Glanzers!
Our good friends, Carrie and Brandon Glanzer, are in the process of adopting 2 little girls from Uganda. We got together with all of our friends yesterday to celebrate. It was so fun and we can't wait until we get to meet these precious little girls!!

How great is the new blog design?!?! Even though I didn't win the blog makeover by Heather Mann, she was still kind enough to redesign our blog - apparently it was THAT bad! I've known Heather since I was 5 and she never fails to amaze me. She is so talented and creative in all she does and somehow finds the time to always help out a friend. Not to get too sappy, but she really is wonderful and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.
So, if you have a blog that needs a little work, check out Studio M Designs. You won't be disappointed!

St. Paddy's Day
>> March 18, 2010
Carter's Grandma Vance bought this adorable St. Patricks Day onesie. So...we just had to get some pictures.
It took about 9 attempts to get a decent shot of the 2 of us. If only babies knew to look at the camera and smile on cue. We'll keep working on it!
Lovin' those hands.
Sleepy baby.
Since Carter has been wanting to bounce like crazy every time he stands on our lap, we decided it was time to buy an activity jumper. For anyone who has been over to our house when he's been in it, they've seen the excitement that begins when he starts to jump. It cracks us up everytime he does his little river dance. It's also been a lifesaver for me when I need to take a shower, fold laundry or eat lunch. He just entertains himself! Yesterday I was busy folding laundry when I heard the music stop playing. I peeked around the corner to check on the little man and this is what I found. Sound asleep. Poor little guy had jumped so much he was exhausted! Too cute.
