Happy Half Birthday!

Celebrating my Half Birthday!
Isn't my party hat cute? Thanks, Emma Hensley!
Gettin' a little crazy with the celebrating!
Today, Carter celebrated his first six months of life! Nick and I are in awe every day of this precious little boy that God has entrusted to us. Being Carter's parents is such an incredible responsibility and such an incredible joy. We are always amazed at how loving, happy, smart (of course!) and sweet he is. We truly love watching him learn and grow and look forward to each day with him.
Carter's friend Emma Hensley McMasters sent him this cute birthday hat! Emma Hensley celebrated her 1/2 Birthday last Friday and looked pretty cute in the hat herself...you should check out her pictures on the McMasters' blog. We were so excited to get home from work/school today and find this little package waiting on Carter. I couldn't wait to put the hat on him and take pictures. Carter is very lucky that Emma Hensley's mom is so creative and crafty...without her, he would have been celebrating without his birthday hat! Thanks, Emma Hensley, Jennie Marie, and Carlton!
We also had Carter's six month appointment today, so just a few updates on his stats. He is now 28inches long, weighing in at 15lbs, 14.5oz. Isn't it amazing that something so small can fill your heart in such a big way?!!?

Happy 1/2 Birthday! Glad you had such a cute hat to help you celebrate. Just a comparison from your cousins - Banks was 19 lb 2 oz and 27 inches. Mary Reese was 15 lb 3 oz and 26 1/4 inches. At this rate...you are going to be taller than Banks! Just think in 6 more months you can have CAKE!!!
