Our First Week Home

We've spent Carter's first week home adjusting to our new schedule and learning what Carter wants and needs.  I hope we don't jinx ourselves, but this first week hasn't been all that bad.  We're learning his sleeping and eating schedule and for the past few days, Carter has only woken up twice during the night.  He fights going to sleep at night, but once he does go to sleep, he crashes out!

Some of our favorite things that Carter does are making squeaking noises and smiling while he sleeps, his loud toots as Anthony is changing him, he blows up his diaper when you hold him, he holds his own Binky, his yawns, when he is wide awake and looking around, and when he sucks on his thumb.  We notice little changes in him everyday which makes us realize how quickly he will grow up.  We are trying to cherish every moment with him.

The doggies are still getting used to Carter being around.  Lima doesn't really seem to notice, but Sadie doesn't like when we give Carter all the attention.  Anthony has found that walking around the house with Carter keeps him from getting fussy- Sadie gets all excited when he does this and follows them everywhere.

Before Carter was born, everyone told us how your priorities change the second your baby is born- YOU WERE RIGHT!  Every little decision we make involves thinking first about the little guy.  He brings us so much joy and we couldn't be happier to be parents.
