7 months down :)

Another 30 days has come and gone, and my little beast is growing, learning, exploring and teething!! (sorry Jackie)

I am amazed by how much he has changed this month. He is learning so many new things with his hands and face and mouth, it wont be much longer before I am at work and this sweet little boy is destroying my house and talking back with the attitude I somehow passed along to him(of all the things!)

At 7 months Carter :

- is 17lbs (gained 10lbs in 7 months)
- is 26 inches long (apparently he shrunk from last month, but Im pretty sure he grew taller, but what do I know, Im not the one with the measuring tape....MARK)
- is wearing 6-9 month clothing, and some 12 month
- has discovered standing at the coffee table, and refuses to sit now
- started to cruise when standing at the coffee table
- has moved himself backwards a couple time when on his tummy
- working on his first tooth; we noticed a little bubble looking thing last night and I felt a bit of sharpness today, but I think he's still got a few more days before its coming out for good
- eating so much food! 3 meals a day and has all sorts of veggies and is just starting pears then we will move onto more fruit
- sleeps thru the night!! 8pm-7am. So Awesome!!!!
- is in such a good mood all the time now (except with this teething business)
- LOVES technology (he is his fathers boy). He loves TV, always reaches for the remote, thwireless keyboard and cell phones
- has had cold #2...baby colds are brutal
- is on a regular schedule of eating and sleeping
- has gone for his first over-nighter to GG and Grumpas
- starting to stick his tongue out again
- makes all sorts of scrunch faces
- has starting hitting everything with his hand
- loves feeling everything's texture now, scratching his nails against it
- still loves Cheeko, and always has laughs for a yawn or lip licking
- has rediscovered his voice again. Constant screeching in this house!
- pulls himself up in his stroller, to get a better view of whats happening
- still a bit shy outside of the house. People have to work for their smiles


I never thought I would love anyone more than I love Mark, but every day I love this kid more and more. He is so smart, and so determined (aka stubborn, yet another trait from me) that I can't wait to see what kind of little boy he is going to turn into.
Every parent thinks their kid is the best, the cutest, the smartest. But they are wrong.
Cuz my kid is!
