Babbling Baby

Carter has officially found his voice! He found it Monday the 19th and has been babbling since. It is really cute. He is very interested in what's going on around him. When he's eating it's hard to keep the bottle in because he's moving his head so much.
Carter is in the process of learning to sleep exclusively in his crib. It's been rough. He likes to be near/on someone. Last night he was whining a lot, allowing me to only get 3 hours of sleep. It's all worth it knowing he's safest in his crib though. He'll get the hang of it soon.

Thanksgiving

I would like to start by writing what I'm Thankful for. First and foremost, God! Secondly my son and husband! Last but certainly not least my family, my church, and my friends.
We had a wonderful day filled with family and food! Doug, Donna and great Uncle Jim are in town, we've really enjoyed the company.
Our families spent the day together, warms my heart! We wish the entire family could be together, but it wasn't possible.
Carter is feeling better and enjoying the company.

Sick little boy

Carter got sick yesterday! :( We are dealing with a stuffy nose and cough and one smiley little guy! He sure is happy when he's sick. We are hoping it passes fast, until then we are staying in.

Not just eating milk anymore....

Carter has officially tried oatmeal, from a spoon. Lets just say it was pretty messy. He still has the reflex that pushes things out of his mouth, so the bib got most of it.
He is getting so big! He is such a JOY! I love being home with him! We play, he naps while I clean and work, and we can't forget that he eats a lot.

Doctors appointment today.

He weighs 13lbs 1oz and is 24 inches long. He got 5 shots-- ugh! He screamed the whole time. Poor baby. He has therapy at 11, to make sure he's still on schedule.
His hands are still very interesting to him. He loves his toys, and is still not too fond of tummy time.
He is such a sweet boy!

Sitting up??

Not quite yet, but soon! He is enjoying eating his hands, playing with his toys, and listening to tunes.
He sure is growing up!
He's giggling more. We woke up the other night to him at the other end of his crib... He kicked his legs and maneuvered his way down!
