truckin' along

Carter is 8 months!?! Unreal.

If the last time you saw him was before he turned 5 months (.....you know who you are.....:), then when you see him again, he will seem like a brand new baby! He's pleasant. He's content. He's fat. He's smiley. He's pretty spoiled (but I guess that's always been the case). He's sitting. He's jumping in his jumper. He's eating baby food like nobody's business. I guess you could say that he's just plain awesome.

Carter's 8 Month Stats:

Weight: 22 lbs

Clothes size: most 9 month stuff, all 12 month stuff

Diaper Size: 4

Physical Accomplishments: rolls over, sits up 

Teeth: 2

Food Eaten: Rice cereal, Baby oatmeal, sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, peas, green beans, avocado, apples, pears, and bananas

 

LOVES - books, toys of all kinds but especially "boy toys" - airplanes, trains, cars, trucks, snow mobile, etc - eating, nursing, jumping in his jumper, sleeping with mom and dad, his sisters, playing peek-a-boo, riding on mom's hip and wrestling with dad

HATES - sleeping in his crib for longer than a couple of hours, car rides and male strangers

 

Here's to another great month!

7 months and stuff...

Yes, it's been a while. I would tell you how busy we've been, but I am sure you're sick of that excuse. So, without further ado....

Loves: Smiling, laughing when anyone scares him or says "boo!", chewing on stuff, FOOD (including - breast milk, bananas, pears, baby oatmeal, rice cereal, avocado, carrots, and sweet potatoes), wrestling with dad, cuddling and being held by mom, toys that make the crunching noise, books, his sisters (especially Ella), baths and "playing ball"

Although we are excited to feel warmer temps and see longer days around here, we had some fun after a snow storm a few weeks ago. Observe.

 

Did I mention that we went up to Maple Lake to stay with my mom for President's Day weekend?! Sheesh. This post is over due!



 

 

It's official. We have to get up there more often!

 

Have a great week!
