Christmas Gifts

Carter has gotten some more really cool Christmas gifts. Brian's parents got him a cradle swing. It arrived a little early so we went ahead and put it together last night. Here's a picture of him in it for the first time ...


Carter seems to like it. He's in it right now and is fast asleep. So far he's liking the swing more than the cradle motion (supposedly newborns like the cradle motion better, but not Carter!). He's been fussy and extra hungry over the last 24 hours (we're thinking a growth spurt?) and it's been helping to calm him down.

Carter also got an Exersaucer from my mom for Christmas. It also got here a bit early, but Carter is still too little for it. He has used the playmat that it comes with a couple of times.


Carter got some really cute winter-wear from my grandma and aunt. I really like the hat - it makes Carter's eyes look a really deep blue.
