Carter's First Christmas and Beyond!

Our happy family :)

Going to a Christmas party! 

Carter is seven months old!!

Christmas Eve...as we were getting Carter ready for bed we remembered he needed to open his first Christmas present....

....Christmas pajamas!!

Christmas morning....Santa brought a sippy cup!

Carter liked to chew on the cup mostly....but here is Daddy helping him drink a little water!

Carter was actually pretty good at opening presents!

Carter and CeCe on Christmas!

Carter says, "Yay!  What a great first Christmas!!"

What a cutie!  New outfit from CeCe and Granddaddy.

Yes, I see you!

Hanging out with Dad while he's working.

Hehe!  Carter in his Giraffe outfit!

Random photo, but my Christmas cactus has been blooming like this since before Thanksgiving :)

"Containing" Carter, etc.!

Helping Mommy stuff his diapers! 

Carter has graduated from the "Bumbo" chair to a real high chair!

Playing in the laundry basket!....he is scooting around pretty quickly now and this worked to slow him down a little while we got the playpen set up!

Again with the diapers!!...

Static!

A huge playpen for a little boy!  Now I don't have to worry so much...especially with the wood stove and all the debris the wood brings in.

As soon as Carter's cousin, Ayda, saw the playpen she wanted in!

Carter's First Snow!!

All bundled up and ready to head outside!

My little snow angel :)

Touching snow!

Daddy (and Cyrus) in the snow!

A Christmas Photo Shoot :)

I had too much fun with this little photo shoot!!  I think Carter has learned to pose because I've taken SO many photos of him!! 

This is my favorite :)

This is the outcome of the photos! ....secret: I had to Photoshop the background into the middle photo because it didn't match the other too....see original above :P
