...boy does time fly?!?! Our little boy is already ONE MONTH OLD (photo below - thanks to my sister-in-law, Katrina, for the handmade afghan)!!! Seems like just yesterday we brought him home and began the never-sleeping-marathon! :)
During his first month of life, he learned to smile in response to my smile (low res photo below - only had my cell phone nearby and HAD to capture it!). In addition to his smile, he's started babbling a lot (mostly coos and funny clucking noises) - just like mom, always talking! :)
He started sleeping in his "big boy crib" and tends to sleep in his "champion" pose if he's not swaddled (photo below - handmade blanket given to us by Matt's co-worker Janice)! At night he's sleeping in about 5-hour stretches, so we're loving that! He took a bottle from Matt (yay for me - I can leave the house!) and while he tried the pacifier (which is entirely cute!), he's not a big fan.
And he's already outgrown all of his newborn clothing and diapers. He's easily up to 11 pounds and is getting quite tall - already his 3 month one-sies are getting snug! He's lost almost all of his hair and has advanced to the teenage years with a little bit of baby acne... They just grow up so fast, don't they!? Next, he'll be asking for the car keys!!
Carter has had a few visitors (ALL of which have said how much he looks like Matt...in my defense, he's got my big brain!) and is looking forward to meeting more of our friends and family. If you'd like to stop by and meet him (and aren't sick), just let me know!
Matt and I are both doing well and adjusting to our new family life. I've turned into a photo-aholic and haven't minded the fact that Carter is in his "hold-me" phase. But while he's taking his afternoon nap, I'm going to do some more laundry. Hope everyone is doing well!
-Kerrie (& Matt & Carter)
