I have myself one happy cute baby boy! He is getting way more active and loves to eat his hands, drool, play with his jungle gym, talk load, smile, laugh, squeal, pray with his feet.

He is sitting up better (not completely by himself), has rolled over a couple times (wish I had carpet) and sleeping more thru the night! He has also gone swimming twice and loved it! We are just loving him....next month his lip will be a little different stay tuned! :)

worth a thousand words.

As June 5th nears closer....I can't help but think about my little Kaden.  There are no words how I feel lately and so I just thought I'd share some of my favs of him.

Karter- 3 months

Karter is 3 months and a week old today.  My mom watched him on his 3 month birthday and I forgot to take his giraffe comparison photos so here they are! :)  He is just maturing so much....constantly babbling, rolled over twice for grandma (I have yet to see it), constantly eating his hands and bringing them together, grabs at toys, sleeps better....(only waking up like once or twice a night), smiles all the time. 

His Cleft Surgery date is set for June 17th.  I am honestly going to miss his clefty smile....it is so cute and the boy I have fallen in love with.  Enjoy the pictures of him with Kaden's Giraffe and with Kaden via picture.  I don't know why it had not accured to me to take their picture together until now but there ya have it- my two adorable boys! :)

Karter's Blessing Day

Yesterday we had the opportunity to bless Karter in our Sacrament Meeting.  It was very special for us to be able to do this since we did not have the opportunity to do so with his older brother.  Kaden was blessed in the hospital the day before he passed away. 

I was extremely grateful for all the family and friends who were there to support us.  Rusty gave him a beautiful blessing and Karter looked adorable in his little outfit.  I put him in a pin stripe outfit that matched Rusty's suit and they had the same tie!  I failed to take a picture of him before we ran off to church to get seats.  You see we thought there was going to be 3 babies blessed but there were only 2 so we wanted to get there early to get good seats.  Rusty also had a speaking assignment and he did a wonderful job! He has such an amazing talent for speaking.

So back to not having a picture....well you see I am famous for taking a million pictures but apparently there was so much going on yesterday I failed to get alot of them....

After the blessing we went to Rusty's brother Jim's house so we could fit everyone and enjoy some lunch together.  While we were there Karter was being feed by a bottle (I knew there was no way I could nurse him) and he had a MAJOR blowout and ruined our opportunity for a picture together! We will have to fake one for him! :) (mostly for me!....he just looked to cute to not have a picture)

Here is a picture of him on Saturday making sure the pants were shortened enough....not the best picture but you get the idea right!? 

Us after Karter was changed into his clean unpooped on outfit! :)

Days of Plenty

This was done by my fellow angel mother friend.  She has done a website to help raise money for those who are burdoned to purchase a child's headstone.  Her website is http://www.agoodgreif.com/.  Her name is Molly.  This video was made for her benefit concert.  It is pictures of angel families.  I love the song so thought I would share.

I am going to miss this boy's cleft when they finally do surgery due to the fact that he always looks happy!! He has the best wide open smile EVER (along with his bro Kaden)!!

Grandma Addington had just given me a bath in this picture! Aren't I a cute Duck!?

 My mom's favorite thing is waking up to me wide awake and happy!! :)

My binki is not that easy for me to keep in by myself....infact it just slips right out my cute little cleft.  But the nuk is the easiest for me to keep in the longest.  Those soothies just don't work with my mouth! :)

These are my cousins Scarlet and JoJo.  They are the closest in age to me.

And last but not least....here is a snapshot of one of my latest BLOWOUTS!! gotta love it!
