6 month stats

We had our appointment today and our pedi was very happy with how Carter J is doing. He is 27.5 inches long (84%) and 19 pounds 3 oz (78%). The shots went ok, though he was not too happy with us for awhile after :(

6 months old!

Carter J turned 6 months old on Saturday! We celebrated by spending the day out on the town and getting our picture taken. We will try to send those out for everyone as soon as possible. Carter has been very active trying really hard to get mobile. So far he is good at rolling both ways, scooting around (especially backwards and in circles), and "swimming." I have been trying to get the scooting on video, but he seems too fasinated by the red light to move, so stand by for that in the future. Tuesday is his 6 month appointment, so we'll have his updated stats then.

Spring Time fun!

My good friend, Caroline, gave us a baby swing set. Since it was nice out today, we gave it a try. I think the slide confused him, but he seemed to enjoy the swing.

I've found my voice!

So on Tuesday Carter J found his voice. We put him in his exercauser and he started telling us all about what was going on. It is very entertaining and exciting!

Sweet potatoes!

Carter hasn't been too fond of rice cereal, but has been tolerating it. Tonight we decided to try sweet potatoes. He really seemed to like it. He kept opening his mouth for more. Of course we had to capture this first on film.


First bite



Hmmm . . . let me check this stuff out.


All done!
