Sitting baby

Karter has started sitting up this month. Since November 20th he started sitting up on his own without support. Every once in a while he will lean to one side and get off balance. Can someone tell me where my infant has gone?

Two Teefers

On November 8th Karter got his two bottom teeth. They both came in around the same time. He had been drooling for a month or so. His Dr. said he probably wouldn't get them until he was around 6 to 9 months. He got them a little before that. 5 1/2 months to be exact. He wasn't too fussy but his sleep changed for sure. I think he's working on his top two now. The drooling has begun again.

So Thankful

This year I have SO much to be Thankful for.
First off I am so Grateful to God for everything. He has given me my little family of 3 that I've wanted for SO long. I thank him daily for that. I'm Thankful that God provides us with SO much. He protects us, He loves us and that He gave his Son to die for us. As I have my own son now I think about all that He gave up. I know I wouldn't give up my son for anything. This Thanksgiving I'm so Thankful to Him.
Second I'm thankful for these two faces. Brandon is everything to me. He works so hard so that I am able to stay home and take care of our son. He provides so much for us. I can't ever Thank him enough for that. I'm Thankful that he is a great husband who loves me and comes home to me every night. He takes such good care of me.
I am Thankful that he loves our son so much. I love seeing them together. It melts my heart every time
And last but certainly not least. I am SO SO SO Thankful for Karter. He is my little piece of Heaven. I prayed so hard for this little boy. He is perfect in every way. I'm Thankful that he is healthy and he is happy and that God sent him here to Brandon and I.
So this Thanksgiving has brought on a whole new set of Thankfulness.
I hope you to have lots to be Thankful for this year and years to come.

Karter's First Halloween

For Halloween we dressed Karter up as our Chunky Monkey. I think he was pretty darn cute if I do say so myself. Lots of people gushed about how cute he was. We went to our church for their annual Knock Knock Knight. We had lots of fun. They had chili and lots of goodies. Then the kids got to go around to all the classrooms and collect candy. The doors to the classrooms had been decorated so cute. Our personal favorite was the swine flu door. The first door we stopped at the person was dressed as Michael Jackson. Karter wasn't too impressed. He looked at her and turned back to me and started crying. We thought it was pretty funny. After wandering through the halls collecting our goodies we took our overly tired baby home to inspect all his loot. Daddy and I have enjoyed his candy for many weeks now. He made out pretty good I'd say. The following night we carved Karter's little pumpkin. I carved it with a "K" in it. After all it is HIS pumpkin. I'd say this year was a great first Halloween for all three of us. Next year we'll take Karter to the pumpkin patch to see all the animals and he can pick out the pumpkin he wants. Then we'll go trick-or-treating in a neighborhood near by. I'm sure Daddy and I won't have a problem inspecting all that candy he gets then too.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

On October 20th Karter decided it was time to roll over. Now let me tell you Brandon and I have been working on him rolling over for about a month. That morning I had my good friend Amanda come over with her new little girl Kambri. Karter sees her and decides he will show off. He rolls over as soon as Amanda puts her in his view. Brandon and I think we may be in trouble when he's older if he's already showing off for the girls. Here's a picture of him rolling over for the first time.
