sorry!

so its been awhile...to say the least. but let me tell you, once your child starts to leard how to army crawl (and gets faster at it every minute) your life turns upside down. Carter is now hearing the word "No!" several times a day. He loves to play with everything he isn't supposed to. The fireplace screen, the cords hanging from the phone, curtains, etc. Let's just say he is a very curious child.

If you haven't seen him in awhile you would be in shock at how much he has grown up. He is so big! He has so much hair now! He is sitting, crawling, can go from all fours to sitting up, and...saying "Mama". And yes, I do understand that he isn't saying it at me, he has no idea that I am Mama, but once he does realize it at least he will already be able to say it! YAY!

He is eating three meals a day of baby food. I still make my own organic carrots, peaches, green beans, peas, and sweet potatoes. I buy the Motts All Natural applesauce and most other fruits. Pears are hard to find, blueberries are way too expensive, and other fruits are a pain to make. He also started eating yogurt for breakfast. He LOVES it! (But the wallet doesn't, baby yogurt is expensive!) He eats the Yo!Baby Soy yogurt. Why? Because babies have to have whole milk yogurt, no lowfat or nonfat and whole milk yogurt is so hard to find! The only things he does not like are banana's and apricots. I am really trying to get him to work on his self feeding skills with Gerber Puffs but he can't quite get down the "claw" grasp. So the end up sticking in his fist for awhile. Poor kid. He also gets around 27 ounces of formula a day.

He is sleeping from 8pm-6:30am. Wonderful...now if I could just get him to sleep until 7am. Or 7:30am...hmm...that would be lovely. He usually goes down without a fight, we have a small bottle, read a book, then it is off to the land of nod and party time for mommy!

Well, I think you are caught up with Carter. Words can't explain all his talents right now. You have to see him in action to understand. He is amazing. Period.
