4 month pictures

Carter is officially laughing now...see a couple of the videos below. His giggle is so funny that Josh and I crack up when we hear it! He weighed 16 lbs 8ozs at his 4-month check up on Thursday. He had his 2nd round of vaccinations--ugh. He recovers quickly, so thankfully we do, too. He's getting lot of light colored hair and for now his eyes are still blue. He's checking out everything around him and reaching for favorite toys:) In addition, he's figured out how to get from his side to his back and visa versa but not completely rolling over yet. Oh, and he loves playing with Josh's PITT basketball...hmmmmm. Thanks for your continued prayers!

Carter's 4 month update

3-month professional pic

Today Carter is 4 months old! He is the happiest little guy--for the most part he only cries when he's hungry. He recently returned from Cleveland where he accompanied the KHS cheerleaders to nationals. He was such a good boy the whole weekend. Dr. Beth sent me a text on the way home that weekend..."he's the cutest, sweetest, most content baby I have ever been around...and I've been around a lot of them." I really appreciated hearing that.

He's a good napper--Krenma says he takes 2-3 naps a day and he is sleeping through the night...but still close to me. Now that it's getting warmer, his room should be warm enough at night for him to stay in there alone. We'll have to work on that situation before next fall comes. He's up to 16 lbs 6.5 ozs...as of last Thursday. He had to go to the dr for a cough...he has a touch of the cold. We'll find out today at his 4 month check-up and shots if he's up from that:)

He has discovered his hands and loves picking up toys to chew on or study. Loves the See and Say and anything that makes noise (cardinal, crinkle elephant, jungle lion). Josh and I are enjoying his smile and his hearty laugh! I'll get some videos on this weekend...he got to go swimming for the first time while in Cleveland!

Here's a link to a press release about his surgeon...http://www.chp.edu/CHP/112108 His surgery is still slated for May 20th...keep him in your prayers!
