Summer, Summer, Summertime

Needless to say I've been a little distracted from blogging and keeping you all updated on the Carlton happenings.  I guess I could say Liam is keeping me busy and not leaving time for blog updates!  Time is flying and I can't believe today is the first day of SUMMER!  It's a bittersweet feeling this go round. I'm super excited for the warm sunshine but know that with every passing day it's one day closer to me returning to work.

A lot has happened since the last blog post.  Liam is now 2 months old and we're still falling more in love with him every day!  At his two month appointment he weighed 11 lbs 14 oz. and was 23 1/8 inches long.  He will be 11 weeks on Sunday and i'm not sure where the time has gone.  He smiles ALL the time and really loves to "talk" to us!  He is evening sneaking a little laugh in there once in a while!  He is also sleeping from about 10 pm until 7 am!  We have been so lucky at how good of a sleeper Liam is! He also is quite the eater!  He's a big boyyy and we're loving every moment with him!

Craig has been working second shift so we've been enjoying our days with him but missing him come dinner time!  We're hoping he's coming close to being done with this job so we can get back to our normal schedule and dinner time won't be so lonely for Liam and I (we've been able to spend lots of time with Nana and his Auntie though).  Although it's thrown us from our normal schedule, we've been able to get some things in during the day--strawberry picking, beach days, and pool days!  We've had a great start to the summer!

We also celebrated our first mother and father's day!  We're truly blessed by this little one!  On Mother's Day Liam was dedicated at church!  It was so great to have all of our family with us during this special occasion!

I've signed my contract for the 2013-2014 school year so it's back to Kindergarten I go come August 26th--yes, I know the exact date because i'm already dreading it!  I'm enjoying every moment with my little one before it's back to work for me!

Craig and I just had our 3rd Anniversary!  My how time has flew and how things have changed in the past three years!  It's been a wonderful journey for us and we're looking forward to many more!

Happy summer and I hope you all enjoy the beautiful weather!
