Lost track of time....

So I haven't blogged in FOREVER...I loose track of time. Usually when i'm off Carter and I are playing or on the the go. Sorry for my lack in blogging...I will try to get better! Carter is now sitting up all on his own, suffering from his 3 ear infection, and growing everyday. I can't believe that he is 7 months already. I keep trying to get him to say MaMa as I keep telling Chuck this is going to be his first word. :0) Carter is very fond of his DaDa and smiles anytime Chuck talks with him. I have quite a few friends that have babies right now and we were all sitting at my house the other night, and it hit me...We are all grown up! I mean when we were younger we would all be drinking booze and having a gay old time, but we were all sitting with our children enjoying ourselves more then ever. It's amazing to see everyone growing up right around us. Ahhh I love my friends! It's hard to believe that Mason will be 2 next week. It seems like just yesterday he was born. We will be celebrating his birthday next Sunday. I will try and post pictures after the big event. Hope everyone is healthy and happy! Enjoy your week... :)

6 month photo shoot...

We had Carter's six month pictures taken Saturday and decided we should do a family picture. They turned out great!! Hope you enjoy!

Vroom, vrooooom.....

Chuck just couldn't wait for it to get warm enough to take Carter on his first four-wheeler ride. The other day was beautiful, so we headed out! Carter enjoyed the ride through the cows and he didn't seemed to mind the noise. I'm sure in a couple years he will have his own mini four-wheeler. Carter also got to meet our neighbor Jim Pedula. He wasn't sure what to think of him but didn't cry! We are so thankful the weather is starting to get nicer as we enjoy spending time outside with the animals and on the fourwheelers.

Sooo tired, must sleep.....

Carter has been really enjoying his jungle bouncer for the last month or so. The other night after having a long day at daycare (he doesn't nap well there) he was just bouncing away and I was in the kitchen getting supper ready. I looked in the living room and he wasn't moving, so I motioned to Chuck to look at him. When I walked over to him he was sleeping so I snapped a quick photo, and the result of the picture is the second photo. What a little ham!! The time change has surely worked in my favor. He will now stay up from 715-800 and get up anywhere from 6-7...which is great!!

Already 6 months.....

Carter had his 6 month checkup yesterday and he was 20 lbs. 15 oz. and 28 inches! Hes in the 95 percentile for both weight and height. Growing like a weed...I hate to brag but Dr.Reimer said he is doing a great job and hitting every milestone he needs to! YaY!!

Real food at last....

So I tried really hard to hold Carter off on the cereal until six months....but I was just dying to start feeding him, so I gave in a couple weeks early. We have only tried plain rice cereal before bed, and he LOVES it! He opens his mouth when I put the spoon towards his mouth...I love it! I also read a book on baby sign language this week and am starting to sign to Carter. The book says it takes a child a couple months to pick up, but by 8 months they should be able to sign back to you. For the next month I am signing "eat" to him everytime he eats cereal or drinks a bottle. In the months following we will be working on milk and more. My newphew Mason signs more and eat and hes 1 1/2. I think it is amazing that thier little minds understand soooo much!

It probably won't be the last....

Carter sat on his first calf this last week. It was very cute!! I'm assuming that this won't be the last calf he rides as his father has already bought him a horse :) Lets hope he is a roper and not a rough-stock rider.
