Carter,
We did it! One year successfully completed!

I found out your Mom was pregnant the way most people find out their wives are pregnant: by opening a gift bag full of wiffleballs in a parking lot that had positive pregnancy tests hidden under them in the bottom of the bag.
You’ll soon find out that [...]

You are now 11 months old. The big ‘1’ is quickly approaching.
In just under 2 weeks you’ll be experiencing a variety of “firsts” as we are taking a trip to Disney World with Grandpa and Grandma and your aunts and uncle.

You are now seven months old.
It’s been quite an eventful month when it comes to milestones
