Carter and his Alligator

My sister Nicci gave Carter an alligator and a book for Christmas. The book was about a pet alligator that an Aunt gave her nephew, so it was fitting. Now that he is born we ca actually give it to him. As you can see it is a bit large (almost as large as him), but Carter enjoys sucking on its ear and using it as a pillow. Not sure if he realizes what it is and what he is doing--but he will in a few months. He is already 10 days old.
