One Week Old!!

Over the past week we have fallen in love with the newest addition to our family! Everyone just loves having Carder part of our family! He is the easiest, happiest, cuddliest, snuggliest, cutest little love in the whole wide world!!!

 Mara's favorite thing to do with Carder is read to him! And he is actually a pretty good listener!

Mara is in heaven with a new baby brother! She could hold this kid all day long! She is the best baby tender in the world!
Mara constantly asks to hold Carder...looks like Mara put Carder to sleep, or was it the other way around?!

 He is just so handsome!! 

 Could we possibly have a thumb sucker on our hands?! No! Carder tries chewing on his hands when he is hungry. He hardly ever cries...only when he is getting his diaper changed! When he is hungry he tries eating his hands and smacking his lips! He is such a good baby!
 
 Don't mind the socks on his hands! They are protecting him from himself!! Why do baby's fingernails have to be so sharp! It's like little tiny razor blades on the ends of their fingers!!

 Carder is so long! He might be 9 lbs but he is not chubby or chunky! He is just a tall baby!

 Today Carder is 1 week old!! He had a 1 week check up today and (drum roll please.....) Carder weighs 9 lbs 12 oz!!! He is officially past his birth weight in just one week! His doctor was very impressed! Carder is doing great! He should get the 'baby of  year award!'
