Carter's Latest Activities

We have been so busy lately. It seems like it is getting harder to find time to post things. I haven't just written in a while so I thought I would. Next week he will be SIX months old and I will be 29. I just can't believe how much this last year has changed my life. Carter is the biggest blessing. He giggles/laughs all the time now. He has the cutest smile. His whole face lights up every time he smiles. His favorite activities are: playing in his bouncer, figuring out how to sit up, figuring out how to get everyone's attention (which isn't hard), eating lots of milk, grinning at Ellie...just to name a few. He is growing up so much. It seems like each day he gets bigger. He is so interested in everything around him now. He still eats about 5 times a day, which is a schedule he has been on for awhile. (7, 11, 3, 6, 8:30). With rice cereal 1-2 times a day. He either nurses or has an 8 oz bottle. We are so fortunate that nursing has been going so well, and I plan to continue to a year if possible. He sleeps 9pm to 7am most nights. Sometimes a little less and occasionally there has been some 11 hour nights. Besides one small cold at the beginning of January he has been very healthy. These past six months have been wonderful! I can not wait for all the new steps he will take soon, but not too soon! He is growing up so fast. We are just trying to treasure every moment.

We had a wonderful Christmas. Carter is so blessed to have so many people that love him. We got to enjoy great company and good food. As always, Carter was the center of attention. He got tons of awesome new toys and many new outfits. It seems like he is growing up way to fast.
