Mommy's friend Danielle was making me laugh!

Mommy was tickleing me!
Mommy really liked this picture, she says I look so big!

This was my first time to the beach. Mommy and Daddy took me today with some of their friends. We had so much fun.


Mommy stayed right by me so I wouldn't get scared. Mommy did a great job keeping me out of the sun.

Mommy set me in the water for the first time, it was cool and not like my bath water. I wasn't to sure if I liked it. The sand between my toes was a funny feeling.




Daddy helped me kick my feet and splash in the water.



Daddy and I had fun, right after this picture daddy went in the water with his friends and lost his hat and sunglasses in the ocean.

I am the cutest baby in the world...well that's what Mommy and Daddy tell me every day.

After our fun day at the beach Mommy and Daddy and I all took a bath to get the sand off of us. I liked the warm bath water much better then the beach. We relaxed for the rest of the day lounging in our robes.

~Carter my Peanut, you are growing so big, so fast. For every moment I have with you I am thankful..... for everything you teach me I am greatful.~

Mommy loves the silly faces that I make!



Some mornings Mommy lets me rest in bed with Daddy before we start our day. I sleep so well next to Daddy. He takes such good care of me. At night when I am hungary he gets up out of bed, gets me out of my bed, changes my diaper then gives me to Mommy so she can feed me. Some times I will sleep on my tummy on Daddys chest and that is my favorite way to nap.



I am wearing the outfit that Daddy wore for his first Christmas, I think that is what Grandma told Mommy. Can you believe Daddy was ever tiny like me? I hope one day I'll be big like Daddy, but Mommy tells me she wants me to be her "forever baby"...she's not ready for me to get bigger, but I am growing bigger and smarter every day.



Mommy was trying to get me to smile, she is always making silly faces at me and giving me Eskmo kisses to get me to smile big and wide, but I like my pacifier so it is hard for Mommy to snap good pictures. I tell her that I'll smile and giggle in my own time, she's just gotta be paitence. I'll do it more real soon.

Here are some pictures Mommy took of me this past week. Mommy and Daddy always have their camera out snapping pictures of me.

My friend Leah came over to play, she was wearing her 4th of July outfit so Mommy put me in my matching outfit and took pictures together since Mommy and I will be in Dallas for independence day.

Mommy and Daddy were making funny faces at me trying to get me to smile, I didn't feel like it, but I liked watching them google at me. So I started to stick my tounge out instead of smiling.

Mommy and Me celebrated Daddy's first Father's day with at midnight after he came home from "Swing" shift. I was wide awake while Daddy opened up his Father's day gifts. He really liked them and it made me very happy.

Daddy and his friend Jeff Patch went to play "disk golf" and I went too. I think when I get bigger I'd like to play it with Daddy also.


This is me and my friend Leah, she is very gentle with me an always makes sure that while I am sleeping I have my pacifier in my mouth.

Mommy and me at home on a rainy day " I don't like being inside all day, I like to see the sun and hear the birds and get fresh air. I smile while I am outside in my stroller on walks with mommy and daddy."



Mommy thought that it would be nice to have a place for my very own. I will use this to put up pictures and let all of my wonderful friends and family in on my daily life and how I change and grow.
