*EDITED* My little boy



Every new mom looks forward to certain things for when her child gets older. Well, I had a glimpse of one of my things tonight. I always think of a few years down the road when Carter is laying on the couch watching a movie and falls asleep and we have to carry him to his bed. Tonight, since Dave is at school and Carter started getting fussy about an hour before bed time I decided to turn on a movie for him since he hasn't watched one in a while. I was at the dining room table playing on Dave's laptop and listening to him talking to Hercules when all of the sudden I realized he was quiet. I looked over and realized he had fallen asleep. I just thought it was too cute and even though I had to wake him to give him his meds and swaddle him etc. it made me look forward to those moments when he's older. He's turning into a little boy and not a little baby!!!!! Before you know it he'll be driving!



Watching...





and he's out...



...good thing too because this is the scariest part!



He now understands "smile for the camera".





He's also gained a total of 9 oz since his doctor's visit a week ago. If you look up at his legs they even look a little chunkier! I'm so relieved! Also, look at the first picture and notice how long his eyelashes are and that his hair is getting thicker and darker. He's SO cute! (I know I'm biased...)



OK, it's later now and Dave is home from class. Rather than do a whole new blog I figured I would just add to this one. Some women get flowers, but my hubby knows me well!



I used to practically live over at the Moore's and one of my favorite things (besides how awesome all of the Moores are) were their HUGE 7-11 cups that we always filled with ice water when we were watching movies or TV. I mean, you never had to go back for more and it always stayed cold. When David started hanging out over there with me he got introduced to the giant 7-11 cups and when he realized I loved them so much he looked for one at the 7-11 in SR but they had stopped selling them. Well, he came home from class tonight with this in his hand looking very pleased with himself. I was very pleased with him too because I am SO excited to have my very own enormous 7-11 cup! It will always remind me of the Moore's and now I can stay better hydrated. I love my husband!

Absolutely precious and adorable. Boy, he sure does smile for the camera. He gets lots of practice and does it so well. Yes, his leg does look a little chubbier. Hurray!!

Sorry I messed up on the earlier post! Anyway, yay for the big cup! I hadn't realized what a treasure they are. Jim and I still use them daily for ice water. Carter is a cutie! Glad that he is gaining weight. We really miss you guys too. I have myself convinced that you are just on a long vacation. I check your blog regularly, however. Love you guys.
