Where has the time gone

Carter will be 6 weeks old on Thursday, I honestly can't believe it. I see the calendar moving so closely to December and it makes me terribly sad, as I will begin working on January 3rd. Before Carter was born people would ask me if I would return to work, and I automatically was saying, YES, with a big capital Y-E-S. For many reasons I couldn't fathom staying at home all day long and caring for this unknown person. Well now that I do know my little Carter, it is hard for me to imagine NOT being around him all day long.

I do know many things though that are helping this situation become more comfortable. Kent and I need to be a two income family, it is just a part of life. We enjoy a fun lifestyle, with two mortgages, and I don't see us making it on one income. I know that I enjoy the challenge of work and that having some away time from Carter will only make that time that we are together even better. Carter also has a great nanny who is making my heart and brain so much more relaxed about leaving him. I also know myself well and eventually, I would be crawling the walls.

Carter and I are making the most of these days though. Yes, the Christmas music on the radio makes me tear up, as December 25th is so close, which means that January 3rd is right around the corner. I'm drying up those tears though and we are just chilling and playing as much as we can. I bought these awesome stickers off of ETSY to help catalog his first 12 months. Look at how cute he is!

He really is my "living doll"... I dress him up daily!

We bought his first pair of Gap jeans. I'm in love.


Yesterday he had his first look at snow, which is unseasonably early, and not a common thing in Seattle. Of course we had to put his snow suit on!


As Thanksgiving is just two days away...we had to get ready for what we were going to wear.


I love this little guy, I love my life, I love having a husband who is just as excited as I am about being a parent. Who knew that going out for a nice dinner, all we would think about was getting home to see Carter! Happy Thanksgiving!
