Catching up with Carter

My baby boy is almost 5 months old...It is hard to believe. He is doing great, growing fast and changing every day! I have gotten into a routine of going to work and he is doing great adjusting to babysitters. He is at Rick and Amy's 90% of the time and loves playing with the girls. He lights up whenever he sees any of his cousins.

He weighed 15.1 at his 4 month check..2 1/2 weeks later I took him back in because he wasn't feeling well (ear infection) and he weighed 16.9! I made the nurse double check, I couldn't believe it.

A few milestones...first goodbye bassinet, hello crib. I had the hardest time with this and didn't sleep for 2 nights, but he is doing great. He loves his crib and is sleeping great..most the time from 9-6 and at least 2 naps during the day.





He also started eating cereal..the first time was pretty interesting but now he has it down.







He got a new jumper and enjoys playing in it. The cutest part is definitely his legs...














Carter also went to his first movie! Shrek Forever After. He really liked it, sat in his car seat for about 1/2 of it and then fell asleep....he just couldn't make it through the whole thing!







Here are some random pictures of him sleeping...I don't know why but there isn't anything much cuter than a sleeping baby!




































Here are a few hairstyles we have tried...





This is what he wore for Father's Day. Nate had to work and we had a family party here and I forgot to take pictures...so this is all I got.

Happy Fathers Day

Happy 1st Fathers Day to my husband..he is such a great dad, Carter lights up every time he sees him.






Happy Fathers Day to Grandpa Willard! He's the only Grandpa we have left and we love him very much.



And...Happy Fathers Day to my Dad. He is a great dad, but an even better Grandpa. All of the kids adore him. I hope he knows how much he means to all of us and how much we love him.
