Happy 1 Month Birthday Carter!!!

It's hard to believe that Carter is already one-month old today! He's already grown and changed so much. He's over 10 lbs. and if we would feed him we're pretty sure he would eat NON-STOP! He's really started coming into himself too and he definitely is his daddy's son...looks and personality....well maybe a little bit like me b/c he can be quite the drama-king, haha! :) The past month has definitely had it's challenging moments but overall the whole "becoming parents" experience has been an amazing and blessed ride so far. We've made progress - Carter's already sleeping in his big boy crib...most nights we can put him down about 10:30 pm and he's only up once during the night which is a HUGE improvement from the getting up every 2 hours to eat phase. It's so funny how our schedule is already setting itself. Bed at 10:30, up to change and eat at about 4 am, up at 6:30 am (but then snuggle with mommy & daddy in bed til about 7:30), then we eat every 3 hours or so, nap on and off all day, daddy time beginning at 5:30 ish until bedtime, then mommy feeds and rocks him to sleep in his room! He's already holding his neck up really well and using his legs....he's a very active little fella! He definitely knows his mommy and daddy (mommy especially) and is really looking around and noticing voices and starting to follow faces/objects. He also has his fussy times which we refer to as "Hudson boy" moments (his alter-ego) - haha. He's so precious though and I fall more and more in love with him everyday. I could honestly just hold him and kiss on him all day. I can't wait to see what the next month has in store as he continues to grow and develop....I can totally agree with the whole "they grow up so fast" statement already. I try to remind myself when I get frustrated to just enjoy every moment b/c it will all fly by so fast! I've attached some more pictures from Carter's first month and hope you enjoy!
