We celebrated Carter's first birthday a bit late this year. As a family, we were hit with the swine flu around the time of his birthday so we had to postpone the party a few weeks. Good thing a 1 year old doesn't know any different! His cake had to represent his favorite word "Ball". Carter loves to play with balls and he loves to say "ball" as he makes a throw. He must be all boy! Now that he has enjoyed cake and the sugar it introduced... he loves the word "cookie" too. Carter gets so excited his feet and hands are just failing anytime anyone says or is eating a cookie because he wants one too! 
We Love Carter! It's been fun to see how he's grown and changed in just a year. It's amazing how they go from helpless infant to an almost walking little boy. He has a contagious smile and he's such a cutie! This first year is an accomplishment for mom, dad, and the girls as well. We can't imagine our family without him!
