Carter is 4 months old!

Well guess who turned 4 months old today?!? That's right, it's Carter! Time sure flies when you're having fun, eh?

Let's see...what has our little boy accomplished this past month? First and foremost, he's grown to just shy of 15 pounds (puts him in the 50th percentile for weight) and 27 inches long (puts him in the 95th percentile for height). So we've got a tall, skinny boy!

Here's the "official" 4 month shot (thanks Kristin & Justin for bringing the "Wicked" one-sie all the way back from London!!):
And the butt shot (with a shot of the "flying monkey" handmade by Beth...and the gorgeous quilt, handmade by Sarah!):
Carter continues to grow like a weed and has moved into his 9-month-size PJs since he's so tall. Here you can see him in a pair of our favorites (the "Bubble PJs") that we just retired:

If you've been reading the previous posts, you'll know that the lil' guy has turned into quite the chatterbox! Each day when I pick him up from school, he's rambling on like there's no tomorrow. The girls love him (and he's really fond of the ladies, too) and he's quite the happy baby! Guess we got lucky, huh?! One of these days we'll have the camera nearby and catch a video of his laugh...hilarious!!

With the long holiday weekend ahead, we're going to take a day trip to Santa Fe so Carter can experience the "art scene." Never too young to get them interested in the arts, no?

And finally, since he can hold up his head pretty well, we'll be starting him on cereal in the morning! Here he just finished off a box of Kashi (from CostCo nonetheless!) when we weren't looking:

(Only kidding! He'll be on rice cereal...we just couldn't resist the pose!)

Here's wishing everyone a safe and fun Independence Day! Remember, also, to support your "independents" (you know, your local businesses!)!

PS Yes, he does still have Grandpa C's hair...(not much of it...)!
