Our Bundle of Joy

Yet again, I find myself on the blog...and the only thing I can talk about is Carter! What did I talk about before he was here!?

He loves his swing. Its nice to put him in it...he sleeps and I can get things done around the house!


Chase bought him the "Elvis Paci" (do you notice the curled lip?--Wa-huh!) That's our boy! He's going to love the King of Rock n' Roll when he grows up :) We are already getting him started!

Chase and I have noticed that Carter is starting to make eye contact with us, and trying so hard to smile. This is the first picture of capturing Carter smiling! I am sure there will be plenty of more smiles from this boy!



Chase has been very busy with dental school. He's had a quiz or a test every day this week! He's been making models of teeth with wax..its very cool! I love it when he comes home and shares with me what he has learned. Sometimes it goes over my head...but its exciting! Well, Chase likes to check out my teeth! (This is one of the joys of being the wife of a future dentist!) And the other night, I found out that my cusp of carabelli is bigger than Chase's! Finally I beat something with Chase! He always wins at everything! Finally I am the champion! For those of you who don't know what the heck that is its the 5th cusp on the maxillary first molar. I sound pretty smart huh?? It feels good! If you want to know more about it, you can ask Chase, or look it up. :) I really don't know much...just that mine is bigger than his.

Playing House



Hello! Sorry that it has taken us FOREVER to write on our little blog! Well--Carter is now 6 weeks old! He has a double chin--and is about 8 pounds now! I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom! It is the BEST thing in the world! (Being a wife is wonderful too...but I love having a baby to take care of) As a little girl, I always played "house," with my friends or little sister. We would pretend to go grocery shopping, or getting married, and taking care of a baby! Now I am doing it in real life! It is the best! I am amazed how natural mothering is. I am not saying I'm a pro...but I know what to do if he cries! Chase is a wonderful dad! I love watching him--holding Carter, and telling me what a cutie he is. Chase doesn't mind diaper duty--either which I don't complain when he changes his diaper. I promise to be a better blogger and keep you updated!
