2 weeks!

Well on Friday Carter turned 2 weeks old! His routine is starting to get a bit more consistent now, which makes things a little bit easier. Thomas is still doing really well with the baby. He has his own little world, and so far the baby has not interfered with it. We had a lot of fun having my Mom here this past week. On Friday we ventured out and went to the Butterfly festival at Stony Kill Farm. It was really hot, but Thomas had a good time running around. So here are some pictures of Cater this past week and some pictures of us at the festival on Saturday.

Carter Ryan Nielson

Our "little" bundle of joy has finally arrived after much anticipation! Carter Ryan Nielson was born on Friday, July 31st at 5:39 am. He was a whopping 10lbs 10oz. We were able to leave the hospital on Sunday and have been spending the last few days learning to be a family of 4. Thomas has done extremely well with Carter. He loves to hold the baby and say "it's ok baby" when he cries. On Tuesday we went to the doctor and Carter has already gained back his birth weight and an extra 2 oz. What can I say, the boy loves to eat! Here are a few pictures of his first few days.

Thomas and Carter!
