Looking Back ... Catching Up

Since we're sort of using this as a virtual baby book for Carter, we thought it would be fun to look back over the past 14-months and highlight some fun things that have happened.

Like most first time parents, we took A LOT of pictures over the past year so this is your warning: there are a lot of pictures here. Enjoy!
