Our Past Week

Life with a newborn gets 100 times better when they start smiling! This week has been so fun with Kelsey showing off her gums for us : ) Pop-Pop and Gramie came to visit last week. Carter was in heaven knowing he had two of his most favorite people with him to play with ... or ride on. (Thanks for taking one for the team Pop-Pop)
Carter attended his first Braves game with Uncle Gary and Daddy this weekend. Due to uncertain weather conditions, the decision to take him was about 20 min before the first inning began. So Phill woke up Carter from his nap (a normally dangerous act considering how foul our 2 yr old can be if not given enough sleep)... but Daddy asked "Would you like to go to a baseball game Carter?" Carter suprisingly jumped up and replied very matter of factly, "I'd LOVE to Daddy!" And the game was just as successful for the little guy.
Gary and Kathryn spent a few days with us from Mississippi. It made us only miss our best friends and godparents even more. Kathryn jumped right in and helped me out so much - one of the few friends I can relax with and LET her help because I know she truly wants to.
Cute Carter Story of the Day : Carter wanted to immediately hold Kelsey when she woke up this morning ( a common request). After a few minutes, I told him it was now time for me to feed Kelsey. Sweet Carter said, "oh Mommy, ME DO IT!"... after which he lifted up his shirt and brought Kelsey in close saying, "come here baby girrrll, come here" It was quite a moment. He was reinacting it in this picture when I asked him about it. Excuse his horrible busted lip - that would be an accident on Daddy's watch last night when he ate the basement concrete climbing out of a chair.
