Carter Smiles!

I think Carter's first smile was March 30. It was just a flash of a smile, but I remember that was the day he first did it. On Easter, April 12, Carter did a HUGE smile for his Gma at Easter dinner. We all looked at him and with lots of concentration and encouragement, we got him to smile again! Since then, he's getting better and better at it and we just love it! There's is absolutely nothing better in the world than making a baby smile! I can't wait til he starts giggling, too. But I am so content to sit and make him smile every day! I think he is pretty dang cute!

At his 2 month check up, he weighed 9 lbs 1 oz. He's gained a pound and a half in one month. He's also grown 2 1/4 inches since birth. I don't know percentiles, but what does that matter anyways? The kid is happy and healthy and loving life!

Brad and I are currently in process of buying a beautiful home. We are also getting ready to start packing (meaning I've thought about packing but I haven't done a thing yet). We are leaving around June 1 to head out of Missouri and make the trek west to Utah (just for the summer)! We also just found out that Brad made the outdoor soccer team for the Springville Demize! He was on the indoor team through the winter, then tried out this Spring for the outdoor team. We weren't sure he was going to make it, especially since he could only play for May and then we would be gone. But he made it! I think he'll get in 5 games before we move. He is very excited. The league he is in is called PDL, which is the league that BYU plays in, I believe. Congrats to Brad! We are so excited for him! Now, if only he could get paid for it....
