Carter LOVES LOVES LOVES to take baths. He never cries or fusses while in the tub. He just lays there content and talks and splashes around. He only fusses when I take him out if I don't wrap him up quick enough in his little monster towel. He is getting so big and has really started to fill out. According to the Wii Fit scale, he weighs 14.4 pounds! I cannot believe it. He will be 8 weeks on Monday and is 2 pounds away from doubling his birth weight.
Carter was blessed on Sunday. Here he is in his little white outfit. I was paranoid the whole time that he would have a blow out and ruin his little outfit, but he didn't. We made it unscathed. 
Here is Carter with his 2 cousins Tyler and Kayla. Tyler was hammin' it up for the camera and Carter was tired of posing. Kayla loves Carter and always wants to hold him and play with him. She loves to show him toys and get his binki when he cries. I need her around more often. Does anyone want to lend me their 3-4 yr. old little girl??????
Last but not least, here is our "Redneck Carter." This picture was taken for Grandpa Etherington. He gave Carter his first gun at 10 days old. It is actually a BB gun and on the box it said "For 10 years and Up." Grandpa crossed out 10 years and put 10 days old! He is a big hunter and here is Carter getting ready to someday hunt with Grandpa. He's got his Camo overalls (minus a shirt for more redneck flavor) and his trusty gun. Too cute!
*****Please don't turn me in to Child Protective Services*******The gun was not loaded (I don't even know how to load it.) And we don't let him sleep with it, it's stored away until he's old enough to use it. Which may be never, at least around our house. Maybe he can only use it at Grandpa's house so his windows and his cats can be shot at, not mine. We all know how little boys are with BB guns. Nothing is safe.

I love the blessing day picture of the family, it looked like such a special, happy day, at least according to the picture :)
Carter is definitely looking Mitchell-esque in the bath photo. But you know how much I love fat babies! I'm not sure he's going to fit in with the rest of the family with the redneck look and gun. Guess you will have to call him Cart-Bob.
The blessing day picture is very sweet and he doesn't look feminine--just sensitive. As always, I'm anxious to see all of you again, but especially Carter.
Wow, he has really started to fill out. It's amazing how fast babies change in such a short time! It's only been 3 weeks since I've seen him, come on! A little bit of chub is super cute!
The gun picture is HILARIOUS! I won't call CPS on you if you don't on me for letting Mitch fall off the bed in Park City (and letting him fall on his face on hard tile floor at the beach and get a bloody nose). Deal?
He looks so cute on his blessing day. Hope it was a great day. I worried too with both my kids that they would blow out of their blessing outfits. It happens.
Carter is so cute. Who do you think he looks more like-you or Neil? I can't tell. I love the gun story and can totally relate with my dad. Oh and about your hair...I would probably recommend Bre or Heidi but I think that Neil grew up with Bre and her personality would probably suit you more. Let me know how it goes!
Ha ha! I LOVE the gun picture! You need to enter that in a contest of something! You can take a similar picture later on when his hair is long enough to be cut into a mullet. :)
