The other night we were putting Carter down for bed, and were doing our nightly family ritual of reading a book and saying prayers together when he fell asleep in my arms before we were finished. As I sat there holding my sweet little boy I got a little teary thinking about how much I love my little family. Carter is the happiest baby, and brightens up our lives. He is going to be five months next week, and I can't believe how fast it is going. I wish that the days could be just a little longer because I can't seem to get enough of him. Life is so exciting when you get to see him experience things for the first time. We love taking him places! We watched that movie Ben Button (stupid!) the other day, and there is a part where the people are talking about how nothing lasts. I started to think about that and realized that before I know it Carter is going to be all grown up. I am really careful not to wish away anything like "oh I can't wait until he sleeps through the night....etc" because I know when that day comes I might regret not appreciating the moment we are in. This is such a fun phase of life, and Regan and I are loving every minute of it! We probably make total fools of ourselves when we are out and about because we are constantly running around, jumpin up and down, making faces! It is amazing how stupid we look but totally don't care if it results in a little laugh from Carter. Heck... Carter even makes Laundry fun again!
I have to be the luckiest person alive to get to look at this face all day everyday! Tough isn't it!
