Cheese!!

I thought you guys might like to see the photos from my latest shoot. The bottom one is of me with my arm over my head. Mom says that's how she and my Meme and my Uncle David all sit! Cool, huh? The one beside it is of my long, skinny legs. And the top one is my Daddy's favorite. He thinks I'm so pretty, but the pictures of my face freak him out a little, since I look like an alien and all. Dr. Thompson's camera doesn't take pictures of skin. Weird, huh?

Stink!

That's what my mom would say, but she's a blubbering mess right now because my first movie is on the cutting room floor. I mean, I didn't even go straight to video. None of my ultrasound got recorded and, well...stink!

80 Percent Sure!

I think I'm a girl!! Well, and so did Kelly at Dr. Thompson's office. So, see? All that drama over a boy name and I'm Riley Catherine!

As of about 10 o'clock this morning, I've got really strong urges to borrow Daddy's credit card and buy shoes. Is that normal?

Oh, and Mom and Dad are going to try to post my first video on the site soon. They're having it put to music, so you'll have to wait and see what my theme song will be!

See you real soon!
Riley Cate Carlton

The Name Game

Can someone please call my parents and tell them what my name is?! I'm on my third name now. And right now I'm Preston (IF I'm even a boy, of course). Can anyone recommend some help for my identity crisis? I'm too young for this!!

Stay tuned...next week I'll be someone else! Dr. Thompson, tell them I'm a girl so they can stop the insanity!

My Cousin!

Guess what! My older cousin (by one stinkin' month) is going to be a boy! His name is Rex. Cool name, huh? I'm gonna call him T-Rex. Roar! We're all going to see my Uncle Rich, Aunt Jenn and cousin Abbie this weekend on Rex's and my first camping trip to Lake Catherine (my middle name if I'm a girl...but no relation!). Rex and I will probably miss out on everything but the food, but that means we're also safe from mosquitos! So there!

Oh, Bro. Ricky at church told my mom tonight that she's getting fat. I don't think she minds...not for 5 more months, at least. Which is a good thing, since I plan on making her fatter and fatter with the Oreos and Funyuns she bought today!

Family Photos

Us Carlton's have been soooo busy! And guess what!? I learned how to fly! I flew all the way to Michigan for Uncle Shawn and Aunt Denise's big wedding day (am I even related to them? I'm so confused)...and I even helped mom tell everyone in the wedding what to do. Dad got them all married up, but I guess he didn't need my help since he's ordinated and I'm not.

I also got my first Easter present yesterday, from Mrs. Bessie at church. She likes to play the organ and give me stuffed bunnies.

In just a week, Mom and Dad are going to go back to see Dr. Thompson and he's going to try to tell them if I'm a boy or a girl. If I'm a boy, my name won't be Jax, which I'd already gotten really used to. I think I'm going to be Baden or somethin'. My parents like it, and Dad keeps calling Mom his "Baden Momma" and they just laugh and laugh. I don't get it.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures. The one of just Mom is Easter and the other is in cold Michigan. I have my eyes closed in one of them and I'm asleep in the other.
