"He doesn't do anything in a small way"

That is Nanny's quote about Carlin.

We had an action packed weekend with the grandparents. Saturday we went to Walmart for a few items and picked up an adorable outfit for Carlin which you will see next week in his holiday card. Saturday night Nanny and Grandy babysat Carlin so Ryan and I could go to Rya's house for a little bit. All day Sunday Ryan and I caught grief about how we got home before curfew and were only at Rya's for an hour and a half. Grandy put up our Christmas tree on Sunday and I helped with the lights and added all the ornaments. I'm glad my parents came to town because if they hadn't I doubt the tree would be up and I wouldn't have gotten the outfit for Carlin. We had a photo shoot with Carlin and it really made me feel for all those baby models. He wasn't too impressed with what was going on but we got some great pictures. Grandy also got a picture of Carlin smiling at me. He's gotten so talkative and he also laughs and smiles a lot now (Carlin, not Grandy). I added some photo's to the picasa album but not the one that will be on the card because that takes away from the excitement :)

Pictures Galore

The camera was actually in our diaper bag. I've added the photo's to the picasa album. Enjoy!

Happy Baby

Carlin had a wonderful time this past week. Not only did he get to meet a lot of his family at Thanksgiving he also started focusing on his mobile, sleeping in his crib in his room, and my favorite...GRINNING!

Monday morning I swore he grinned but then convinced myself it was my imagination because 6 weeks was too soon. But he did it again on Monday and has done it a few times since for me and his Papa. I'm not talking about the gas grin either. He 'talks' and then gives a huge toothless grin! He is a heartbreaker!

A lot of people asked how much the big boy weighs so I weighed myself at Rya's house and had her hand Carlin to me and then subtracted the weights. Our little champion is 12 pounds and 4 ounces! True story, if I feed him and stop or have to move him he will start snort crying...like a little piglet!

I left my camera at Rya's house so no updated pics. Nanny and Grandy come to town tomorrow so I'll be getting the camera back for their visit and will post pics this weekend.
