A little video for you....

Carter's 1st Christmas

Merry Christmas!!

Sorry no one received Christmas Cards from the Galbraiths this year....guess we were a bit too busy with Mr. C.....maybe next year.

Well, we have had an exciting week!
On Christmas Eve Carter made his 1st trip to his Mom-Mom's house. He was so happy and did lots of smiles for everyone. He also made his first trip to church....but was not so happy about having to be quiet. Despite our efforts, the little one did not want to stay at church....we were there for about 10 minutes before leaving....we missed the cousins performing their candle dance (haha) but didn't want to interrupt church for everyone! I guess C-man was too excited for Santa to get here!
Carter woke up Christmas morning to looooots of gifts. He is one lucky boy.....his grandparents and aunts and uncles love to spoil him! I couldn't possibly even post picture of all the new toys and outfits....it would just be too many. I'll make sure to take pictures as we plays/wears everything!
Here are a few pictures from the last few days....Enjoy!

Carter on his New Zealand sheepy rug....he loves it!

and Yes, he is holding the bottle by himself! Totally just a fluke....but still so cute!

Opening presents!

About 90% of those are for C.

Crazy Daddy!

C's new play gym.

You ALWAYS have to have chocolate donuts for Christmas morning...

....maybe next year he will enjoy opening presents a bit more

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas

6 days until Christmas....and no, I haven't finished all of my shopping! BUT I did manage to sneak away and get my hair cut and colored today....it was about time....about a month over due. I'll post pics soon...nothing too exicting though...just a trim and highlights - thanks to Erin for suggesting her colorist/stylist.

Just wanted to post a few pics of our purdy Christmas tree....Carter loaned his Santa hat so we could use it as our tree topper....since we were too lazy to go buy a real star/angel.

Visiting Santa

Carter met Santa for the first time today....he wasn't too impressed :-P

oh, and in case you were wondering....he was the REAL Santa!

Big Boy!

Look at the difference 1 month makes!

Carter @ 6 Weeks Old! Look how big those legs are!

2 Weeks Until Christmas!

Haven't written in a bit...been kind of busy...well, keeping Baby Carter busy. Haven't done much to write about but Carter did attend his first Christmas Party yesterday!

Carter and his buddy, Chase Sitzer, attended a playgroup Christmas Party at Little Sports yesterday...I wish I would have remembered to take pictures b/c the kids were having so much fun...well, more Chase than Carter...Carter was watching everyone else have fun! I am really excited about this group...everyone seems really nice and it will be good to get to know other moms in the area!

Also, we got Carter's 1st Christmas tree. Aunt Kirby came over and helped Richard pick it out last weekend....but yeah, haven't decorated it yet....it's amazing how slowly things get done when you have a 5 week old! I'll be sure to post some pictures once it is done.

ohhh and 1 last thing...something I am VERY excited about...anyone who knows us knows that Richard and I loooove to travel...during our 4.5 years together we have gone just about everywhere. We just planned our 1st trip with Carter. We will be going to Hilton Head, South Carolina next June! So it's just about 6 months away but I will totally be counting down the days. I can't wait to introduce Carter to the ocean :-)

As always, here are some pics :-)

This is a 3month outfit and it is already fitting Carter-man!

Smiles :-)

C loooves his Daddy.

Sucking his thumb and with his silkies. Definitely my son. (aww and look at that baby acne)

and a crying one! This is hungry Carter.

Santa Baby.

Almost Christmas

His stocking is bigger than he is!

Our Big Bugger

Carter had his 1-month well baby check up and his 1st shots today. He is weighing in at 10lbs 8 oz (50-75%) and 22-3/4" (75-90%). He has gained 2+ pounds since leaving the hospital!

Good job, Carter-man!

1 Month Old!

Today is Carter's 1 month birthday :-) Good excuse for Mommy and Daddy to have some cake.

I can't believe it's been 1 whole month since this little bugger showed up. He is getting quite big....he has a doctor's apt tomorrow so I'll make sure to post his weight then.
