Happy New Year 2006
We had a great New Years celebration at Grandma and Grandpa Ross' house. We had a delicious dinner and then Brady gave us a fireworks show. We expected that Carter might be scared, but he loved the fireworks. He was so excited he was bouncing around, smiling and gigling. It was entertaining to watch him experience his first fireworks. Hope he is still this excited in July for the big show.
Carter's 1st Christmas
Carter's first Christmas was a good one. We spent it at home with the Richmond family. He got lots of gifts he was excited about. He liked holding the wrapping paper and bows and was really excited about the books he received and his toys. He was much more excited about Christmas than we expected...it made it a lot of fun for Mom and Dad.
Early Christmas Celebration
We spent a week with Grandma Vesta in Ohio and had an early Christmas Celebration. Carter got to meet a lot of new family and friends...little ones like him and Daddy's friends he grew up with too. We had a great time and Carter was a little angel.

Dickhaus Family Visit
The week before Christmas we took a trip to the Ohio/Kentucky area to visit family and friends. Carter got to meet lots of relatives on his Dickhaus family. They showered him with love and gifts and he never hit the ground. Here are a few pictures with his Great Grandparents and cousins.
Tree Hunting
Following our new tradition we went to the tree farm and cut down our family Christmas tree. Along with our friends and Aunt Jackie we looked high and low for the perfect trees in the snow. You can see Carter napped through most of the tree hunting, but he woke up long enough to capture some great photos with the little bear and his friend Lucas.
Big Guy - Little Guy
December was a great month. Brady was home all month and had extra time off...he spent it all with Carter. Carter loved hanging out with Dad. Great Grandma Richmond gave them these "Big Guy" and "Little Guy" matching shirts for Christmas...thankfully only Carter's has snaps on the bottom. :)

Today we had Carter's 4 month doctor visit. He weighs 15 lbs (65% percentile) and 27" long (97% percentile). He enjoyed his time at the doctor until they gave him 4 shots :-(.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....
We went to Montana to celebrate Thanskgiving with Shannon's Dad's family. While we were there Carter got to experience his first snow. It was fun to watch his reaction as the snow flakes hit his face.

New Employee
Carter came to visit me at the office. Now that he is getting old enough to sit, I am training him on the computer and phone so I can take a nap :-)
Carter's Dedication
We dedicated Carter on 11/5. Shannon and I made a commitment to God in front of our friends, family, and church that Carter will be raised by us in a Christian home. This means that we will share our Faith with him, pray for him, live as Christian parents to be an example for him, disciple him in the bible and in worship, and lead him to have a relationship with Jesus. It was also a commitment by our friends and family to keep us accountable in our raising Carter. Several of our friends also dedicated themselves to their children on the same night.

2 feet tall and standing
One of Carter's favorite things is to stand up and show off his leg muscles.

Carter went to his 2 month chekup on October 17th. He was 25" long (98th percentile) and 12 lbs 12 oz (75th percentile). The doctor thinks he is going to be a "big guy".

Carter's first swim
At 6 weeks Carter went swimming. We went with our friends Kristi and Ryan and their son Ryker.
My favorite place to sleep.......
My favorite time to nap is in the Snuggly when mom and dad go on walks.
