At 3 1/2 months, Carter is now over 18 lbs! Most strangers guess he's about 6-7 months old, but we love our chunky little man. He's also getting stronger every day - lifting his head up higher during tummy time, trying to scoot, standing on our lap, and slowly discovering his feet.
Look at the belly!
I know some people hate those baby clothes that have ears on the hoods, hats or coats. But...I love them. I think they are so cute! Carter is growing like a weed and even though his head is in the 50th percentile, he keeps growing out of his hats. So, I went hat shopping last week and found this adorable teddy bear ear hat. We decided to do a little photo shoot with the hat the other day. I think he's pretty darn cute.
Excuse the spit-up.
Let's be honest. For the 4 of you who read this blog, it's lacking in creativity. The content is fun, but the design is pretty lame. Luckily, I have a wonderful friend who is having a contest for a blog makeover! How fun is that. Her name is Heather and here is a link to her blog.
I can't believe how quickly these last 3 months have gone by. Yet, it seems like Carter has been in our lives for so long...I can't imagine life without him. As a new mom, I'm learning new things every day. Here's a list of just a few things I've learned:
Poor little guy. For his 3 month birthday, Carter received his first fever. Yuck! And, I just feel horrible about it. All morning he was cranky and clingy and I was just getting annoyed. He wouldn't go down for a nap, wouldn't play with his toys and would whine anytime I put him down. Finally, I decided we were going to go for a car ride so he would fall asleep. As I went to get him ready, I noticed he was really warm and sweating. Checked him temp. and yep...101.0...poor guy. After his first sick trip to the doctor, we are still playing the waiting game to see what happens. Luckily, his lungs are clear and no ear infection.
One big accomplishment we have achieved in this last month is bath time. The first few weeks Carter HATED baths. Remember this image?
But, in the last month, he has really learned to love this time of night. He especially loves bubbles and relaxing in his robe and slippers after drying off.
Carter turned 2 months old yesterday. Last I weighed him he was 14lbs.! The boy likes to eat. Tomorrow we take him in for his check-up and vaccines. Poor little guy. Pray that he isn't in too much pain after those darn shots.
