He can roll!

Carter can roll - but only from his stomach to his back! He did it for the first time a few weeks ago. I was in the kitchen, and I heard Jeff say, "He's gonna roll!" By the time I got to the living room, I had missed it; Carter was already on his back, looking very confused. At first I didn't believe that he had actually rolled over. Since then, however, I've seen it for myself! He doesn't do it all the time, but he can do it. Usually he has to get pretty mad first though...

Alanna's Baby Shower Weekend

We had Alanna's baby shower on Friday, August 28. It was a huge success! Alanna got so much stuff for the twins, and it was really good to see our friends and family. After the shower, "the girls" all went back to my mom's house and, of course, talked about babies until way too late. My grandma Bauer also stayed at my mom's all weekend and was promptly nicknamed "The Baby Whisperer." She could literally take a screaming Carter and get him to fall asleep in her arms! Over the weekend, Carter had the opportunity to test several of the twins' new toys. As you can see from the pictures, he especially enjoyed the wash pod and pink Bumbo chair.
