It's been a busy week

So the other night Carter and I were playing in the den, when the fridge started making a noise like it was about to fly off. Thankfully Caleb was home, although comatose sleeping at the moment, and it only turned out the the fan wriggled loose and not something that needed to be replaced. But Carter, Mr. Technical, just had to be all up in Uncle Caleb's business trying to figure out what he was doing. He kept leaning over to see under the fridge, and every now and then will still do that.


Don't get ahead of yourself. This is not a mugshot. This is the before picture from Saturday before I chopped off my hair.

And the after. Why did I wait so long to do this? So. Much. Better.

Meet Harper Leigh Pruitt, our latest "niece." Shane and Kasi took Raygen to Sea World last Wednesday and Thursday, and apparently Harper was a feeling a little left out of the fun, because late Thursday night Kasi went into labor!! We were all totally shocked, although I totally called it that she would not make it to her induction date. Harper was about 3 weeks early from her due date and 2 weeks from her induction date, but besides weighing in at a teeny 5 lb 15 oz she is perfectly healthy! Of course, we were all DYING to hop in the car and make a road trip to San Antonio, but we will make up for lost time!

Big sis Raygen is so proud of her baby sister! When we came in I hugged her and she escorted me straight to show off Harper!

Before they made it back from San Antonio I showed Carter a couple of pics of Harper that Kasi had texted me, and he would smile and laugh. So when he saw her in person he actually did that then too! He would give her kisses, which his version of kisses include him leaning his head towards whatever you tell him to kiss, so basically he was just leaning his head on her, but so sweet!

I love his face here!

Aunt Bri was so beside herself all weekend and especially Sunday when we knew they were heading home, that she could barely hold a conversation! And if you know her, you know that she never lacks for conversation topics! :) hehe!

Brycen is much more of a momma's boy than Carter, so he was not very thrilled that she was holding another baby!

He was nice enough to give me a half smile though! Good luck having more kids, Brad and Bri!

Uncle Christiaan took his turn....he's such a natural!

And Uncle Brad waited patiently for his turn! He probably held her the longest of all of us!

Mr. Personality has gotten to be quite the goof lately. He has a variety of strange and silly laughs, and seems to just bound from one piece of furniture to another, not too unlike the monkeys in the zoo. And the temper tantrums, HOLY KAMOLY!!!!! I need to remember to catch some of that with my camera, because they are quite dramatic. I have NO IDEA where he gets that from...

Where's Carter??

Peek-a-boo!

And I paid another visit to Kasi and Harper today, and caught her wide awake! This outfit is a preemie sleeper that I picked up for her that I thought would be too small, but it actually fits pretty well! It barely even feels like you are holding anything when you have her, especially in comparison to what I am used to lugging around all day! Its amazing to me what a difference a pound makes with babies, because Carter was only a pound more, but seemed so much bigger!
