Carter {5 months}

In the midst of unpacking boxes a certain little man turned 5 months old! 


Carter is starting to get pretty good at grabbing toys.  And he loves to put things in his mouth--especially fingers!  Sometimes he gets them a little too far in there and gags himself!


We haven't quite got the rolling over part down but sometimes he surprises us and flips himself over when we're not watching.  The other day he flipped himself over when he was laying in his boppy.  Not sure how he managed that one, but I think it surprised him too!

He's still fairly quiet and likes to observe what's going on around him.  Although he does have a voice and is starting to talk a lot more. 

He loves to be naked!  Almost every time we strip him down he kicks and pushes off with his legs like a crazy man!  He's little but he's got some strong legs! 


Sleeping hasn't been top priority on his list lately...espeically at night.  He had been sleeping from about 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. with no interruptions.  Now he seems to think it's fun to get up once a night and eat.  Maybe he's growing, but it's not very fun for mom when we had been sleeping so well!  Oh well!  This too shall pass, right?!  I think now that we're getting settled in and getting back to more of a schedule he's starting to get back on track.

Hard to believe he's been here for 5 months already.  We can't wait to see what the next months hold for him!
