My Bris

It's been a busy 6 weeks and I wanted to go back and fill you in on a very important day in my life... my Bris. 

"You are your mother's dreams realized, their hopes fulfilled.  You are the latest and best chapter in the unfolding lives of your family.  You are a bridge over which we, who welcome you, can gaze from this day into future days, from our generation into yours.  You are the newest link in the endless chain of your history."

Turkey drunk

We spent Thanksgiving at my friends Michelle and Vivians house- where i worked the crowd and surfed from one cozy set of arms to another. Unfortunately i got too comfy and my diaper was too full and my new friend Liaura got too wet. Yet again another lesson learned for my moms. All and all we had a nice evening eating turkey and spending time with one another. Xo Carter
p.s. I'm thankful my family and friends - some of whom you'll get to meet in my next post.
I'm curious- what are you thankful for?

NAP....A

This past weekend my moms took me up to Napa to see how olive oil is made. We watched how the big stone wheel rolled over the freshly picked olives pressing out the oils. They were able to sample the delicious oil hot off the press and i did later (wink wink).  We stayed overnight in a hotel where the king bed was big enough for all of us to sleep together, and i had my first bottle where i had to explain to my moms i prefer room temp over ice cold breast milk.....duh.

p.s. today i am curious about rain and how it drips from the trees while we are walking Katie

 

Its my party....

and i'll cry if i want to. Today is my numero uno month birthday.

 
 
 
My moms keep saying that it looks like i am storing milk in my hands, arms and cheeks- but i just call it being resourceful.  I overheard some lady in Target say something about a "chipmunk"- but i just don't see it.

 

 
Anyway I definitely feel like i am getting older because my moms have already given me a laundry list of chores (thankfully not literally laundry- cause sock matching is a drag) - 

 

Working on building a strong neck and core during Tummy Time. 

 
 











Working on my words and ear for speech- my silly moms use a papertowel tube to tell me secrets and jokes.

 

Working on my keen sense of smell- move over citrus you're a bore- hello vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg

Working on my X-ray vision with high contrast sights.

 

Working on my sense of touch with facials and baths, dog petting, cozy blanket cuddling and skin time.

ta da.....im here

Forgive me for this taking so long to get started - i have been kinda busy - ok very busy- i was born four Tuesdays ago and have since been eagerly putting faces to voices. Not only have i met alot of Framily (friends who are family) and Family i have been patiently explaining to my moms with some consistency when i like to eat, when i need a costume change, when i need to blow some steam and most importanty when i just need a hug. In addition to meeting my community i have been busy growing and creating wrinkles in my brain so here are some of my memories from my first few days:
