Carter is 2 months old!

[transferring a few blogs over to this page]

Well, I can't believe our little boy is already 2 months old!


Time is just flying by...before I know it, he'll be all grown up and dating (but not until age 30, if I have my way...)!

This month, Carter has really perfected his smile! He wakes up smiling, he smiles in his sleep, and smiles when he eats (often INSTEAD of eating)! It just melts my heart that he's such a happy boy! Below is a recent photo of him smiling away in his "hungry dog" outfit.


He's still not fussy and still isn't a fan of daytime naps longer than 20 minutes (oh won't the ladies at daycare love that!). BUT...he's sleeping around 6 to 7 hours each night, so I don't mind that he doesn't nap too much. Below is a cute photo of Carter in his "Flying Ace" PJ's, just as we were getting him ready for bed.

At his 2 month check-up, he weighed in at 13 pounds (75th percentile for weight) and 24.5 inches long (95th percentile for height). Doc agrees that he's healthy, getting some great neck strength, and did well getting his immunization shots (though mom cried more than Carter did...). While I'm still off work (I'm back to work on the 18th), Carter and I practice some "tummy time." His core strength is getting better by the day and he's really trying to roll over to "catch" his toys. Below is a fun photo of Carter from his changing table and since the changing pad is contoured, he really had to lift his head up to "peek" at me.


Over the weekend, Carter got to meet his grandparents for the first time (photo with Grandma - my mom - below). I think Grandma was ready to take him back to Kansas, especially since he smiled at her all weekend long! Hopefully he'll get to see them more and more frequently!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the beginning of Spring!
