High Five

Another month has flown by with my sweet boy, and this one has been so much fun.  This month Carter learned to pull his toes all the way up to his mouth (Jeffrey and I totally pulled our hammies trying to do the same) and loves eating his feet.  He also has figured out how to pull his socks off, so I really hope his little uncovered toes don't get frostbite in this harsh Temple, TX winter.  Today the mercury bottomed out at 48.  Burrrrr!

Carter also has started talking incessantly this month.  And by talking, I mean squealing.  And by incessantly, I mean only when he's awake.  Honestly, it's pretty cute...most of the time.  He's actually squealing in the 5 month picture.  So appropriate!

Our little buddy began eating solid foods this month after his four month visit with the doctor revealed that he was only in the third percentile for weight.  Third!  He enjoyed rice cereal first.  Then he got constipated.  So now he enjoys prunes or apples every other meal. 

He is oh, so close to being able to roll over from his back to his belly, but I guess that won't happen until next month's post. 

Our boy continues to turn our days into precious moments by sharing his easy smiles, giggling when we tickle his belly or squish his tiny thighs, and having very serious talks with his toys.  I don't know how it's possible, but we love him more each day than we did the day before.

Happy 11th, baby.
