Carter is officially too big for newborn diapers and wearing size 1[Carter's belly bulging over his newborn size diaper, haha!]

Our greatest blessing

Over Valentines weekend our family headed up to Idaho to bless Carter. We were so excited to have both of our families come up for a very busy weekend. By friday night our house was full of family and a ton of laughing. Skyler, I, and Carter were so excited to have everyone at OUR house and were in heaven all weekend.On saturday we decided to do a half day at Grand Targhee Ski resort and a few of us headed up there for a few hours. It was so ton of fun and I was excited to be able to get some boarding in this season [Thank you to the grandma's for watching the baby]. [scotty boy was a pro by the end of the day]That night the whole group loaded up and we went to dinner and then desert.
[The evans siblings all happend to wear grey that night..of course we had to take a picture.] While pounding down some froyo I looked over and Poopaw had Carter laughing. It was the CUTEST thing I had ever seen.

Sunday was the blessing day and we all were up early trying to figure 11 people getting showered before a 9:30 church meeting. One of the funniest things was wade trying to wash amy's hair in the kitchen sink! [I wish I got a picture]
Sunday was a special meeting Elder Quentin L. Cook spoke to our stake. Half way through the meeting we realized that in all the morning craziness Skyler put Carter's blessing outfit on backwards. After the switch it was time to bless Carter. We all went into the primary room and had our own little program. Skyler gave Carter the most beautiful blessing. Right after the bishop asked us to bear our testimonies and of course I cried the whole way through. I felt so thankful that Carter had so much family there that love and support him. Carter is truly OUR greatest blessing and has brought Skyler and I together even stronger than before. I love our little family so much and I can't wait to watch my little boy grow up in the church with such a loving family to always support him. Carter's blessing weekend was truly perfect and I could not have asked for anything more from the weekend.

2 month stats

Today we had Carter's 2 month check up and his dreaded shots! He actually did really well with his shots, I was definitely freaking out more than him.

Here's his stats:

Height: 23 1/2 inches (62%)

Weight: 10 lbs. 3 oz. (7%)

I have a tall and skinny boy, I promise we feed him!
This is Carter and buddy, He loves him.The milestones Carter has hit by 2 months:
Smiles
Rolls over from tummy to back
Sits up in his bumbo chair
Can hold up his neck
Sleeps from 11:30 pm to 8:30 am waking up only once to be fed
He LOVES his baths
He is very interested in noises and where they are coming from
Is very content playing with his toys for about an hour at a time

WE LOVE HAVING THIS BABY BOY IN OUR LIVES!!

I love frozen yogurt, always have and always will. I feel like it is a million times better than ice cream and have convinved myself it is healthier too. However, I was starting to get tired of the slim selection we have in rexburg [MAV and millhollow], when heaven on earth was dropped down in the little caesars parking lot, TWIZL BERRY. It is a frozen yogurt shop with 16 self serve flavors and 50 self serve toppings.You can take as much as you want and pay about 30 cents an ounce. I have no idea how long it has been here but I am obsessing. So thank you twizl berry, you have given me something to obsess over that isn't my baby!

MORE baby

Sorry for the Carter overload but we just can't get enough of him! He started rolling over on sunday at only 6 weeks old!! Here is a video, ignore the fact that I am on the phone and stuttering like crazy.

we just adore this baby!!

all smiles

Carter has learned how to consciously smile and it is the cutest thing in this whole world. He seriously can light up a room with his sweet smiles.My Camera broke so these are all iphone pictures, Hopefully we will get a new one soon so we can have some better pictures!

good parenting

Today I had a much needed hair appointment and Skyler stayed home with Carter.

This is what I came home to:

Dr.Pepper, Video games, Remote control, Cheez-its, Iphone, Mom's stolen snuggie, and of course he's got the baby too. Cracked me up!



In Carter news...He is getting so big. He gives me the biggest smiles and it completely melts my hearts. He is getting cuter and cuter everyday, AND he is sitting up in his bumbo chair now!!Cutest thing I have EVER seen!

baby love

In my opinion this is the CUTEST little boy in the whoooole wide world. He is the definition of joy.
