Twice the baby to love...

Carter is now 9 lb. 10 oz. and has more than doubled his birth weight. He is a great kid and keeps us happy and excited about life. He has been blessed with a very happy spirit and is content with life, all 2 months of it. Below there are over 2 minutes of this wonderful life and us the excited parents.






Grandpa Jorgensen visited over Memorial Day weekend. We had a great visit and visited more of DC. Some of our stops included the Library of Congress, Holocaust museum, American History museum, Pentagon Memorial, Old Town Alexandria, and the Jorgensen Apartment. We walked by the parade. I was so excited to see George and Martha.

Every picture we took in the last 2 weeks...

Carter is now 2 months. He smiles and talks. His favorite place to "chat" and have a good time is on the changing table. We haven't quite pinned down what is so great about the that spot...Maybe he likes being naked, the changing pad is comfortable, there's a picture of Jesus on the wall there, it is close proximity to our faces, he likes a clean diaper... It is still a small mystery, but a very very enjoyable mystery for all 3 of us. He cried his first tear recently. Now days, Carter is much more alert and gets overstimulated by some environments. The only way to get him to sleep when we are out and about is to restrict his visual field to your chest or a blanket, so he is not so distracted by everything going on. Of course, he can look around and play until he gets too tired. We just love having him.

Jason is currently a full-time dad and I have gone back to work. I have currently survived 2 weeks. It is quite tiring. The most damage so far is I have lost my cell phone, and forget at least something when we go out (i.e. binky, blanket, nursing shield, etc). I have also forgot to take pictures. OOPs! The camera has joined the objects that we forget. We went to the National Cathedral last Saturday. It was so much fun, but we forgot the camera. Most importantly, we have never forgot the baby.

We now put him in the sleep sacks at night to keep him warm. Before his whole body could fit through the opening for his head. He has grown so much! We will weigh him on Wednesday.

We went to a few memorial the Saturday Jas finished his finals May 9th. It was so nice to be done for all of us, but especially for Jas! He has knocked out 1 year of his Ph.D. program. HOORAY! We may be about 20% complete, but what an accomplishment. This is the Iwo Jima Memorial.


This is the Air Force Memorial.

Everyone needs a good laugh

I borrowed from everyone else's ideas/children.

We love cousin T! He is such a character...



Thanks Krista! I loved the video. I know my Dad will LOVE this.


Thanks Michelle! What a hoot!

Lovely Carter

Here are pictures of our healthy little boy. Lately Cater has sprouted some new hair where his head has grown so he looks less like an old man. He started making sounds and cooing. He continues to be a super great kiddo that loves to look at us. Caution!! There is a random amount of information about Zoolander. I attempted to add videos that I took with our still camera. We will be kind of lucky if it works. One was on accident when I was trying to take his picture and the other is a full 30 seconds of the same face. It is pretty impressive.

He has grown some girth.


This is one of my favorite faces that Carter pulls. It has taken me a long time to get a picture of it. I think it looks like Ben Stiller in Zoolander.

A few great quotes from Zoolander...
Derek Zoolander: I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

Derek Zoolander: Well I guess it all started the first time I went through the second grade. I caught my reflection in a spoon while I was eating my cereal, and I remember thinking "wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career."
Matilda: Do what for a career?
Derek Zoolander: Be professionally good looking.

Maury Ballstein: What do we do when we fall off the horse?
Derek Zoolander: [thoughtfully looking up and mouthing the words silently] ... fall off the horse...
Maury Ballstein: [looking to supply finish] ... we... get back on!
Derek Zoolander: Sorry, Maury. I'm not a gymnast.

Carter ready to go. My aunt Bonnie gave him that cute sleeper with cars on it.

The boys taking a nap. So cute!

I love his blue eyes. We shall see what secret color is in there. He just loves look at us and he just loves us.




Derek Zoolander
"Blue Steel" is the name of a male model pose in Zoolander. The film's protagonist Derek Zoolander invented the pose and he protects it as a trade secret (it is supposedly patented). It is his claim to fame, along with his "Spiky Black Hair". The style of the pose is identical to all his other named poses, which include "Le Tigre" and "Ferrari". This contributes to the running joke that despite his reputation as a male model, Zoolander knows only one pose. However, his "Magnum" pose that saved the Prime Minister is different from the others because he turns left. The reason he could not complete the pose Magnum was because he could not turn left, until the final scene where he uses "Magnum" to save the Prime Minister.
