Growing Up Carter

It's hard to believe just how fast Carter is growing up. It's crazy to think that's he's closer to being one year old than he is being a newborn. He's now officially a crawler. Yes, he can crawl forward now. He's made great strides in this department over the past couple of days. He's gone from crawling only in reverse, to crawling sideways and rolling wherever he wants to go, to now being a big boy and moving forward. He's got eight teeth (yep, I said eight!). He's finally got more hair now than when he was born and he's starting to act like a big boy.

Spring Has Sprung...Cuteness That Is

The weather is finally starting to be nice enough to let Carter venture around outdoors. Here are a few pictures from Carter's first real experience hanging out in the grass. I'm sure there will be many outdoor pictures to follow soon, but these will have to do for now.

Every rock star baby needs a sharp pair of shades. I guess since Carter's not a rock star (don't tell him that...he thinks banging on the table is the same as playing the drums), he's just have to look like a rock-star-wannabe.

Similar thoughtful pose. We definitely have a thinker on our hands.

Carter wondering if the grass tastes good.

Trying to find out for himself just how good it tastes. Too bad he's not that great on the hand-eye coordination thing yet.

He finally got it in his mouth.

Happy Easter

Carter enjoyed his first Easter. He didn't get his Easter basket until after church, but I don't think he minded waiting.

Carter's first peep. I think he liked squishing it between his fingers moreso than actually eating it.
