First Swim Lesson March 10

Hi Grandma, do you see me.
What is this thing, mom?

His swim lessons have been so fun. He really likes being in the water. He also loves looking at all the other babies. Grandma (g-ma Morgan) and daddy have both gotten to come to his lessons. He has swam on his tummy, floated on his back, "jumped" to mom, went underwater, and slide down a slide. I hope it keeps enjoying it.

Carter keeps growing up too fast.

It is unbelievable that my little boy is close to 8 months old. He is getting so big (probably around 20-21 lbs). His hair has really filled in, and is dark brown. Everyday he learns more and is more aware of his surroundings. He has tried almost all of the 1st foods and a lot of the second foods now. He likes about everything (peas and green beans are not his favorite). We are mostly nursing full time, but this weekend he did have a couple of bottles of formula. About 1 1/2 weeks ago we noticed his first tooth breaking through. It is his bottom right tooth. Then this week we noticed both his top two teeth are cutting through too. Before too much longer were going to get some teeth showing. I will miss those gummy smiles, they are so sweet. He is so close to crawling, he does take about 2 movements forward and then dives. He likes getting up on his feet and hands, almost like a bear crawl. He has started to babble a lot. It is mostly ba bas, but I am sure he has said a couple of ma ma's. I do have some witnesses!!! He still sleeps around 10 hours a night. Some nights a little more and others a little less. Everyone really enjoys their time with Carter. He is always the star of the show, and he knows it. He just stares you down until he knows you are looking at him. He has also started swimming classes. He absolutely loves them. He just kicks and splashes everywhere. He has successfully went underwater about 4-5 times with no cries. Our sweet little guy, just keeps getting sweeter!!
