CANADIAN TALES: Getting into a GROOOOVE!!

Well....so far this has been such a WONDERFUL week with my sweet Carter. I think I may be starting to get the hang of this! At this point it basically works like this: eat...awake for a little while...then sleep. And this is what he does all day long, over and over! He has basically been on the exact same schedule 4 days in a row. Before I had him, I thought "I am going to put him on a schedule right away". Then I quickly realized, I don't think it is possible for me to do that...ahhhhh!!!! Then to my suprise, he has put himself on one...I knew he was a genius :)

We have been taking outings each day, and happy to say...NO MISHAPS...YAY!!!! I am even becoming okay with a quick fuss in public. Today in Old Navy he was making a little noise right before he fell asleep, and I just smiled at people and said, "he's sleepy"! It must be the new laid-back mothering I've taken on....hahahaha!! I have found myself staring at him in the afternoons as he sleeps just thinkning about how very blessed I am to have such an important job, how much I love him, and how I have such a wonderful life in so many areas! I am one lucky girl, that's for sure! And by the way, yesterday morning I think he did his first real smile!!! I would smile at him, and he would do it back. This happened about 7 times! My heart really did melt!! Of course I raced to call Matt and bragged as if he had spoken already :) Here's a peek at these past few days....

I took him to meet the Easter bunny for the first time...I think he really enjoyed it (haha...actually he had no clue, but I enjoyed that's for sure!)
