Tuesday we celebrated Carter's 1st week of life. Dad is holding him next to a cake that Grandma Walden baked for him. Although he didn't get to actually eat any of it mom had an extra piece so he could have a small taste.
The first week of Carter's life has been very exhausting for the whole family. Everyone needed to catch a few ZZZZ's.
It is irrisistable to keep yourself from kissing the softness of a new babies skin. They smell just like they came from heaven.
Dad's are not immune to this show of affectaion.
Carter's faviorite nap place is next to his mother's heart.
Brett is teaching Carter how to smile. Carter is just way to tired to learn this facial expression right now.
The more you watch a baby sleep the more that peace fills your heart.
Carter does open his eyes occasionally. This is one of his wide eyed pictures.

A mother holds her babies hands for a moment, but holds his heart for a lifetime.
