A recap of my day first: Matt got me a new MacBook Pro. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with everything to learn and frustrated that some of the shortcuts aren't the same as a PC, but this blog post is coming from my laptop while I'm watching American Idol. That's a great feeling. Maybe now I'll keep up better on my blogging! Matt is such a great gift-giver, and he always manages a great deal because he knows I'm not happy with a gift if it's more money than I want to spend (I would have never asked for this gift). I'll never be able to equal his ability, but he still loves me for my efforts! Some church friends took me out to lunch as well, and I got lots of birthday wishes from friends and family.
Carter didn't know his day was any different except for a visit to the doctor's office where he got three shots! Cruel of me, I know. Carter weighs 23 lbs. 13 oz. in the 66th percentile, and he is 31" in the 85th percentile. He's looking to be taller than Caleb will be.
My family came over for cake/ice cream and presents. Here are some pics:
I made a Texas sheet cake because it's one of my favorite cakes. Ariane brought some peanut butter balls as well, since I'm a sucker for peanut butter and milk chocolate. They were yummy.
Singing "Happy Birthday"
Carter and I blowing out our candle.
Carter crawled on the table ready to dig in!
Matt took a lot of pictures of Carter eating cake. Here are some of my favorites:
He couldn't understand why everyone was watching him/filming/taking pictures. "I'm just doing my thing." Carter LOVES to eat.
Opening presents. This shirt says "I'm always hungry." Perfect.
Carter is most always asleep by 7pm if not earlier. It was 8pm when the party wrapped up. You can tell how disinterested Carter is.
I couldn't get Carter's red eyes to edit for some reason, but I still thought this was a cute picture. Happy Birthday my sweet boy!

Happy (belated) birthday Carter! Looks like a lot of fun.
Haley - enjoy your new Mac. Once you get the hang of it you'll love it! Pages creates some pretty amazing documents (think Word smashed with Adobe). Happy belated birthday to you too!
What a cutie! Happy birthday to both of you. :-) I understand you trying to hold out until after midnight to deliver, I have this unlikely fantasy that I'll have one twin right before midnight and one right after so they don't have to share a birthday!
Ryan got a Mac a few months ago and loves it. He tells people it is a life-changing experience. :-) I can't figure it out when I get on it because of the shortcut thing too! Good luck though, I'm sure you'll love it once you get the hang of it.
