All about Carter

Our friend Frank takes the most beautiful photos. A few weeks ago at a birthday party he took some awesome pictures of Carter for us. Because it's impossible to pick the best ones I posted all 35 of them. Enjoy!

P.S. This picture is my favorite.

No longer a logger

From the week after Carter was born, I found an iPhone application that logged the times when he slept, pooped and ate. Every day since that day I have been obsessive about logging every. single. thing. I was crazy, making Adam text me the moment he woke up if I was away from home. I needed to know how many hours, down to the minute, and how long he napped. Did he poop today? How many wet diapers did he have? I could tell you how many diapers I changed for the month. I was crazy with logging information. Yesterday I realized that Carter is about to be 8 months. He is fine. We have a routine. We can handle it on our own now. I thought it was a good time to stop the insanity. Today, I put the logger away. I feel free and freaked out at the same time. Free to not have to have my phone in arms reach when I switch feeding sides. Free to not stare at the monitor to mark the moment he falls asleep. Free at last! Free at last! It feels good, but I think I will check the monitor real quick...you know, to make sure he is asleep.

Play Ball

Who says you can't play ball with a 7.5 month old? Carter has a very good arm. I see a pitcher in him!
