Already 2 1/2 Months....

It's hard to believe that Carter is already 10 weeks old and I had to go back to work this week. I definitely miss the little guy during the day but it's nice too to start settling into a real routine and having adult interaction. The fact the Robbie's mom is our daycare makes it a little easier too b/c I know he's being loved and spoiled! :) He's becoming such a big boy and although the first month was extremely challenging I'm so proud of the good little baby he's becoming. Don't get me wrong...he still has his moments but he's so much fun now and loves riding the horsey with daddy, batting at his favorite toy (Einstein star), snuggling with mommy, baby talking, and looking around cooing and smiling. Not to mention that we've consistently been sleeping through the night (10 pm - 6 am) for a week now which is AWESOME and I'm extremely proud him!!! It's amazing to see him changing, literally, every day...I could just eat his face off and squeeze him to pieces :) We both love him so very very much!

It's hard to believe that Carter is 2 months old already. As you'll notice in the pictures he does not struggle in the eating department and is quite the chubby fella. Over the past month we've really tried to focus on settling into our routine and during the day I'd say we're pretty close to mastering it - 3 hour routine of eat, play, and nap! However, nighttime is definitely presenting challenges. Carter can be classified as a "high maintenance" child you could say and when it comes to time for bed he just wants to snuggle. As cute and loving as it is I know that I can't just snuggle him at night all the time; I'm scared I'd end up with a 5 year old who has to sleep with mommy and daddy. Each night gets better; he cries less when we put him down and sleeps in longer intervals. Hopefully by the time I go back to work in 1 1/2 weeks we'll be moving closer and closer to easy and peaceful nights on a consistent basis!

He's getting to be so much fun with his grinning, cooing, and baby talk - I could just eat him up! It really is amazing how quickly they grow and change; one thing is certain though and doesn't change and that's that he looks just like his daddy! I tell him every morning "Why don't we try to look more like Daddy today, Carter!" haha. Such a cutie though...enjoy the pictures!
