Squeals!

And back I go...



So, Richard and I have made the decision that I will be returning to work. I go back March 9th. Luckily, there is a daycare, Just Children, in the same complex as my work. I will be able to walk over and see the C-man when ever I need...which may be 5 or 6 times a day at first. I am going to be such a mess leaving him...I get sad just thinking about it.

On a happier note...we have started to plan Carter's baptism! It will be March 8th at my Mom-Mom's church (Chews Methodist). I am looking forward for the whole family to be together with Carter...some of his cousins have still yet to meet him!

Only a few days until the little man is 3 months! He LOVES to smile and coo and especially laugh at Daddy!

And one more thing, Jerri is 27 years old today!! Happy Birthday, Old Lady!

Inauguration Day!




C-man was celebrating Obama's Inauguration with his "Party Animal" outfit from Aunt Fanny! 

Oh, and C-man went to the Dr. yesterday....he has a bit of reflux that has been bothering him...well, they weighed him to make sure he was gaining weight...lol....he is 13lbs 14oz!

Go Eagles!



Enjoy some pics from the last week. You'll see Carter has his Eagles socks on today....go BIRDS! (He would have worn either 1 of his Eagles outfits....but he has outgrown them in the last week - what a big boy).



Tomorrow C-man is going to his first Gymboree class - He is going to have a blast. Oh, and he is already a little pimp...he is heading there with 3 little ladies :-) (and their mommies).







He LOVES to smile and giggle at Mommy and Daddy!

Carter's Best Friend

For those who don't know, Richard's best friend, Scott, and his wife, Mayu, had an adorable little boy, Alex Sahan Goodwin, just a few weeks before Carter. They just sent us some updated pictures that I just had to share! Isn't Alex just the cutest? And Mayu looks great! I can't wait until the 2 boys can play together...I see a Disneyworld trip in the future :-)


Some of my favs from the weekend

 
Having fun on his activity mat...in his Eagles outfit from Aunt Jerri.
Father and son in matching hoodies!
What a cutie pie.

We aren't up to much this week. Looking forward to few "playdates" and spending Thursday with Gram.

The big news of the week is that Aunt Kirby turns 21 today!!! My little sister is 21. That is crazy. I guess that makes me old....well, I guess the being married and having a kid thing makes me old as well. Well, Happy Birthday, Aunt Kirby - Don't do anything I wouldn't do :-P

Oh and in case you are wondering....294 days until Carter's 1st Birthday.

5 Jabs!

Oh, it was so painful to watch Carter get his five "jabs" today :( (Apparently they called shots "jabs" in NZ). C was SUCH a good boy...the pedi made us wait an HOUR before we actually got to see the doctor....he was looking around at all the other babies and was just so happy....he then fell asleep and was awaken up by the horrible needles :( He screamed harder than I've ever hear him scream....gosh, it was so hard to see him that unhappy....but then I gave him a bottle and he was ok :-) oh, you know he is our kid....food makes him happy!


oh and on a better note....he is now 12lbs 10oz and 23-1/4". What a big boy, huh?! That would be the 75-90 percentile.


Daddy is putting C to bed so I am off to relax for a bit....granted C stays asleep :-P

Happy New Year and 2 Month Birthday, Carter!



Well, Carter slept through his first New Years Eve! The Galbraiths had a big day...it involved ordering pizza, drinking a few glasses of wine and watching movies :-) Quite different from this time last year....last year we had a huge party that included an ice luge, a gin bucket and jello shots....ugh, maybe next year? Carter should be able to use the luge by then, right?! haha.

We did keep up our New Years Day tradition - a trip to Geno's! Yummmm. We then celebrated Carter's 2 month birthday with donuts from Randolph's...way to start a year eating healthy, huh?










Carter has this 2-month check up tomorrow...any guesses as to how much he will weigh? I am guessing 12lb 3oz. He will also be getting his 2 month shots :( I think there are a total of 4! I think I might cry as much as Carter will. I'll update tomorrow with how it all went.




Happy New Year everyone!
