Introducing...

This weekend my mom and sisters threw an amazing baby shower (post to come) in honor of Baby Hami. We had many friends from all walks of life join us for the party and everyone was so incredibly generous. I had such a great time going through all of the baby's new things today and getting his room organized. Thanks to my sweet family for spending the day with us setting up everything we got and helping us decorate! We could not have done this without you.

Another big milestone this weekend was that we finally revealed Baby Hami's name...so without further ado, I will let the pictures do the talking!

Introducing: Carter Lewis Hamilton

Aunt Kristin hand painted and designed the
name canvases for his room! She is so talented!

We went with a nautical theme using tans, browns, and soft blues.
Kristin is also working on two canvases that will hang above the dresser!

Carter's talented and hardworking grandma made it all by hand!

We now have his infant seat, toddler car seat, and high chair ready to use!

So what's the story behind the name?

Lincoln and I have known Baby H's first name since September but we have debated on a middle name for this long! A few months back we were driving to my Grammy's 80th birthday in Hilton Head. While we were eating dinner on the road, Linc turned to me and said "What do you think of Carter?" Since then, we have called the baby by that name and nothing else we ever tried seemed to fit. Because Linc had chosen Carter's first name, he gave me free reign to choose the middle name. After months of testing out every name under the sun, I narrowed it down to three choices. Lewis happens to be my Grammy's maiden name and the front runner for middle name for a long time. I finally decided that nothing else would work and I really wanted to honor her and my mom's side of the family by keeping that name going! I am so happy to have finally decided and to have chosen a name that is very special to both Lincoln and myself.
