Carter is 6 months old!! Wow, the time has flown by! It really does feel like we blinked in July and when we opened our eyes it was January. Having Carter in our lives is so much more fun and enjoyable then we ever imagined! He is truly the joy of our lives and he makes any day a great day just by his smile. He is such an easy going kid. From the beginning he has had a lot personality and curiosity. Every day he becomes more curious. He concentrates when he plays with toys and tries to figure out how things work. He is definitely like his dad in that way.

6 months is a big milestone for babies, so to celebrate we made him a double layer chocolate banana pudding cake with cool whip topping. He of course just got a taste of the cool whip on his binky, but he enjoyed that. He also just kept staring at all of us while we sang happy 6 months to him. Weird, we know, but it really was a good excuse to have cake. :-) Dad even let him cut it.


Here are some of his accomplishments and things that he likes at 6 months old: *He can sit up and has been for 2 months now *He has 2 teeth *He loves food - veggies and fruits *He has been 100% breastfed *He loves all the crazy things his dad does to play with him, especially his scruff *He smiles all the time and you can get him to laugh pretty easily too



*He is sleeping 6-7 hrs before waking up *He loves his reflection in the mirror *He is a master at his binky *He has started to reach for people he wants (Mama especially) *He is already good at lifting his legs up to walk - we just need to work on the balancing part *He is getting closer to crawling - he gets up on his legs and then pushes off *He can roll over, but doesn't do it too often unless he feels the need to. *He loves baths.

We feel like he has mature for his young age, but maybe that's just because we're biased. But we do know that he is the cutest boy in the whole world and we have just loved every minute with him. We're excited for the next 6 months and we know that lots of changes, i.e. crawling, walking, and talking, are coming up in the next 6 months. So keep checking our blog and we'll keep you updated on everything.
