Half a year gone by...

Carter is 6 months old today and I can hardly believe it. It feels like it has gone by so much faster than Ella. He sure is a split personality. Most of the time very sweet and snuggly, but don't put him in the car or make him wait for even 1 second in the middle of the night for food! He screams SO loud in the car and also in the middle of the night. Even once I am in there to feed him he screams until he is eating. The rest of the time he has the kindest nature I have ever seen in a baby. He LOVES his jumper now that he has officially figured out how to use it well. He almost flies right out of it due to his jumping so high. He can sit up unassisted and has been eating solids for almost 2 months. He is beginning to move himself around on the floor pretty well (which is a bit scary). He is working on getting up on hands and knees now (we are in trouble soon I can tell). He can no longer sit in a bumbo (apparently just crawls out gracefully) or his swing (just sits himself right up and nearly flips over). It is pretty much the floor these days, which he seems okay with. He loves his big sister and she loves him equally. If he cries, she gives him his binkie or a toy to play with and she is right there to greet him happily each time he wakes up. She sure is a good big sister!

Wow, that six months DID go fast! Seems like he was just born...

He's a cutie baby. He does look a lot like Tanner as a baby, which is fun to remember. Is he letting you get any more sleep at night lately?

It is going way to fast isn't it! Carter is so cute and he has the cutest smile. Lexi got the package and loves it! She really misses Ella... In fact when I told her that Ella was going to talk to her on the computer the other night her eyes lit up and she could hardly contain her excitement. Look for a package in the next few weeks :)
