Carter got his first hair cut! He was cute with his old man's hair when he was born, but it has slowly thinned out to just a patch in the back. It has really bugged Mike for awhile now, and on Sunday the couple behind us asked if we were growing him a mullet. That was the last straw so when Mike got his hair cut, so did Carter.
The Mullet
Our friend Kelly was the one to buzz his hair. (video to come) She watches him on Tuesdays so he totally knows and loves her. He did really good for his first time. He didn't even put up a fuss or anything as she buzzed away his patch. No, we didn't keep any of the little hairs. Maybe when he has a real first hair cut...Anyway, we love how his hair looks now, and it's actually really starting to grow in. It's becoming pretty fuzzy so when we take him out of the car seat or he wakes up from a nap we can't just smooth it back down.

Yesterday was a special day for 2 reasons. First, it was Dan's 28th birthday, and Second, it was one year ago that we told our families that we were expecting! How fast the time has flown and how incredible our life has changed for the better within that year. Carter has a really sweet relationship with Dan. He will always smile and a lot of times laugh just when Dan talks with him. Maybe it's because Dan is still a kid at heart. For his birthday his brothers knew what to get him...Transformers and a Lego Technic car. Happy Birthday Dan!

Christina has had some issues with the whole bath thing lately. We went an bought this tub for Carter, but it just wasn't working right. He'd slide all over it and it would leak and it's way big and hard to store. So last Thursday, Mike was watching him and when he gave Carter a bath he just put him right into our bathtub. Best idea ever! Carter doesn't slip or slide and he loves the freedom of kicking. Plus, he is more covered in the water so he enjoys baths 10 times more now. It's our new routine to give him a bath every night before bed. Even though Carter will be so embarrassed by these pictures when he's 16, we just couldn't resist taking a bath picture. We're sure you'll agree that it was way too cute to pass up. :-)
