In the last couple of weeks Carter sure has developed! He is now on his tummy most of the time. He can pivot left and right and is showing signs of crawling. The therapist thinks he'll be crawling before next month. He has learned how to push himself backwards so now he just needs to learn to push forward. He is reaching for toys, switching them from his left hand to his right, and is banging them. He loves sucking on his toes and holding on to his feet. He is babbling and squealing, it is the cutest thing. He loves playing with his toys that make noise and could do it for hours. He found my hair!!!!! He loves pulling on it when he gets the chance.
We are constantly wiping his face and neck, he drools non stop. It gives him a rash and so we try our hardest to keep it dry, which is not easy! He smiles when we walk in the room, which just melts our hearts. We are trying oatmeal again, he's doing a little better. Most of it ends up on his bib, but practice helps! He loves watching his dogs, and pulling their hair too. =)
We are still trying to get him to sleep all night in his crib, which hasn't been easy. We will continue to try until he gets it. He is rolling around until he runs into something that stops him. His hair is growing nicely, but is still bald in the back. He splashes during his bath now and seems to enjoy it more.
We have been told time and time again what a well behaved baby we have. We couldn't agree more! He rarely cries or whines. If he is tired or hungry we will hear some whining but other than that he is laughing and babbling. We are so proud of our little guy!! On Wednesday he weighed in at 15 pounds 10 ounces and is approximately 26 inches long. He is out growing his 6 month clothes, which just seems crazy.
I hope this finds everyone well, and we will continue to find the time to update the blog.
