Happy Anniversary!
Chris and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary this past weekend in New Hampshire. It was so nice to get away and enjoy the great weather and picturesque surroundings near the coastline. We enjoyed the pool, the food, and the shopping! Here's to many more fantastic years to come!

The Stats
Carter had his 4 month appointment last week and here are his growth stats:
Height: 26 inches
Weight: 17 pounds, 2 ounces
Head Circumference: 43 centimeters
He is BIG! At 4.5 months these are Chris' stats:
Height: 23.5 inches
Weight: 16 pounds, 2 ounces
Head Circumference: 45 centimeters
He has outgrown his dad already (except his head size!) We think he's quite the expressive little boy!

Cabo San Lucas 2011
A Nelson family tradition for the last 5 or 6 years has been an annual trip to Cabo San Lucas each summer. It's a great get away with lots of sun and it's a relatively easy destination to travel to (especially when you live on the West Coast.)
This year we were so excited to join Julie's parents and brother and sister-in-law for a much needed escape and some R and R. It was a relief to get out of the Boston humidity for a few days and get some down time by the pool and ocean. However, upon our arrival we quickly realized that our New England skin was not so ready for the strength of the Mexican sun (especially the fairest of us all, baby Carter.) Fortunately we had packed our 50+ SPF sunscreen so we were able to ward off the sunburn for the majority of the vacation. We did such a good job in fact that on our last day in Cabo, several people asked if it was the first day of our trip because we were so pale still!
While there were many activities to take advantage of each day, what we enjoyed most about the trip was great food, lots of sleep, and time with family. We also were excited to introduce Carter to two new firsts- his first swim and his first foreign country (and first stamp in his passport!)

Carter's Blessing
We had the opportunity to bless baby Carter on June 5, 2011. It was a great experience for all of us and Chris did a wonderful job naming and blessing our baby boy. Chris' folks came in from Albany, my parents from the Bay Area, and my brother and sister-in-law from Utah. Here are some pictures from the day.
