Smiles and Coos

It's been a little while since I last blogged. Carter has really started to be so much more alert the last few weeks. His little personality is coming out a lot these days. With in the last week or so he has started to grin and coo at Eric and me a lot. He has certain times of the day when he seems to be in such a good mood (in the morning and after bathtime mostly). It's getting easier and easier to get a smile out of him... it used to be so much work! Here are a few cute pictures I got of him today, and a really sweet video I know you'll all enjoy!

Caught a little by surprise...

First grins on camera... so cute!Just hanging out with Mommy!

Smiling and talking to Mommy...

We had a pretty good weekend. Friday night we met David & Stasha and Ashlee & De'Mhetric at Johnny G's in Lewisville for Cajun food. Of course, Carter and Olivia came with us. We had total strangers coming up to us asking about Carter and Olivia, how old they were, if they were related, if they could hold them, etc. I guess that's what you get when there isn't just one cute baby, but two! We had a lot of fun, though. Then on Saturday morning, Eric and I participated in our community garage sale. Since cleaning out Carter's room in January, we've had our garage junked up with so many things that we wanted to sell. We made close to $350, and the rest we took to Goodwill. So I'm glad to have the extra money and the extra space! Saturday afternoon and evening we spent watching movies and relaxing. Yesterday Eric's grandparents came over for a visit. Some of their friends were in town from Houston, so they came with them to see Carter. We all went to lunch at Babe's in Frisco. So not good for my diet... but SOOOOO good! I could eat there everyday. It was a great lunch and a good visit.

Speaking of my diet, as of this morning, I have lost 34 lbs since I had Carter.... I only have about 12 left to lose to be at my pre-pregnancy weight. Not too bad for only 7 weeks out.

So today is a sad day for me because I pulled all of Carter's Newborn size clothes out of the drawers and put them in boxes to be stored. I'm so sad my baby can't wear them anymore! There are a few he can still squeeze into... but probably for just a few more days. He's officially in 0-3 month stuff now.

I'll try not to let another 2 weeks pass by before I post again!
