4 Months!

I cannot believe our little boy is already 4 months old! He had his checkup yesterday. Everything went very well. He weighs about 18lbs (95th percentile) and is 26 1/4 inches long (90th percentile). I was telling the doctor all of the things he can do, including rolling over both ways, blow rasberries with his mouth, hold his own bottle and watch me from across the room. He was very impressed and said he is acting more like a 6-7 month old. He is growing up tooooo fast. We ended our visit with 3 shots :( He was not a happy camper. Afterwards I snuggled with him and he gave the med tech an evil eye along with a very good pouty lip.

Josh and I fed him rice cereal for the 1st time tonight. It was pretty cute, I'm sure he will catch on very quickly once he realizes its food :)

Carter has been sleeping through the night which has been fabulous. He usually goes to bed around 8pm and goes for 7-10 hrs without waking. I got 7 1/2 hrs of straight sleep, which was the first time in about 6 months. He seems to sleep better for daddy though...he must know when mommy is home because he tends to want to snuggle as opposed to go back to sleep.

He loves playing with his toes!

Its 2010!!


I can't believe its the New Year!! We have had so many incredible things happen this past year and we are very excited to see what the New Year has to offer! We spent New Years eve at Andrea's...it was a blast. Mr Carter man, got to spend the evening with Nana. He had a blast as well :)


The Peroutkas....you can even see baby Peroutka in this pic!

The girlies!

The boys...looks like trouble

I heart Christmas

After spending part of Christmas Eve with Josh's family we packed up the car and made the journey to the cities. We drove very very slowly, but we made it! We spent the evening at my Grandma and Grandpa's and then spent the night in Bloomington at my Mom's. (unfortunately jeff was stranded in AZ because of the snow storm) Christmas morning we opened presents with my mom and brother and had some very yummy french toast. My mom of course went waaaay overboard on presents (like she always does), but we are very thankful for the awesome baby bjorn she got us and the amazing 11x14 canvas picture of our little man. Christmas day was spent at my aunt and uncle's in Lakeville. What a wonderful first Christmas for Carter...he even got to sit on Santa's lap!!

Christmas Eve with the Remmes

We ventured down to Faribault the night before Christmas Eve to celebrate Christmas with Josh's family. We made it down there just in the nick of time, because it sure did snow!! (8in) Carissa and Eric brought their dogs...so it was fun watching them play in snow that nearly covered them. Carter got to open a lot of presents from his grandma, grandpa, auntie and uncle. Here he is surrounded by them:
