Carter at 6 Months

I saw another blogger list out the things her little one loves and can do at each age and I think that is a great idea! So, here we go.

Carter currently is 6 months, 1 week & 4 days old (only leaves me 173 days to plan Carter's 1st Birthday party!):


-Can roll from stomach to back
-Can roll from back to stomach
-LOVES to stand (but looks a little drunk!) but can only stand holding on to us or couch (only for a minute).
-Will sometimes try to crawl. He moves his legs and gets his butt in the air but can't do the arms and legs at the same time.
-Very good at holding toys. He will put something down and pick it back up. Will also switch toys between hands.
-Trying to master the pincher grasp. Loves to grab at the tags on stuffed animals or the bobby.
-He can put his feet into his mouth. Loves sucking his toes!
-Sits up by himself. Will only tobble over if trying to look at something behind him.
-He knows his name and will turn in your direction when you call his name or speak to him.
-He will look around something if it is blocking his vision of you. (Mostly looking around me to find Daddy!)
-He smiles (and squeals) at himself in the mirror.
-He likes to grab onto anything and everything.
-He loves biting faces.
-He loves cellphones.
-He loves computers.
-He loves the TV.
-He sleeps unswaddle with his silky blanket.
-Our bedtime routine is bath with daddy, diaper, massage, PJs, feed with mommy then lights out! Most nights he sleeps from 7:30pm - 6am.
-He is eating between 5-6 liquid meals a day and eating solids for breakfast and dinner.
-Solids he has eaten - sweet potatoes, pears, peas & prunes.
-Favorite solids: pears & prunes
-Least favorite solids: sweet potatoes
-He is wearing 9 month clothing. Surprisingly he doesn't fill it out but 6 month clothing tends to be too short.

I'll try to post some pictures tonight.

Tomorrow is Richard's 35th Birthday! Gram is coming over for some quality C time while Richard and I are checking out a new restaurant to celebrate!!!
