He's getting stronger by the day and can just about sit up on his own. We joke that while he's nursing, he does these "baby crunches" to work on his abs. Before we know it he'll be sitting up unattended and won't be face-planting on the blanket. Here's a shot of him "sitting" up from his 6-month photo shoot back in September:
In other developmental news, Carter is just a weeee bit away from crawling. He can sort of commando crawl, but only backwards. And it will be Kitty-Kitty that will ultimately be the motivator to get him moving, as Carter REALLY wants to pull her tail (and/or chomp on it with his razor-sharp teeth)! Speaking of teeth...still just the 6 (4 on top, 2 on bottom), but we think a couple more are coming in on the bottom. Carter has been spending most of his days as a drooly mess, with a toy or his hand in his mouth, like Exhibits A and B below:
While we battled another ear infection this past month, he's generally happy and healthy. He's eating like a piggy and has moved up to Stage 2 foods. Here soon he'll be asking for seconds, as it seems his appetite is insatiable!The biggest highlight for us...Carter finally has some hair! There is still a bunch coming in blonde, but he's got some darker hair coming in and he no longer looks bald! Yay! Here's a shot from his 6-month shoot showing the back of his head (and thus, luxurious locks!):
Finally, let me post his "official" 7 month photo, taken with Grandma and Grandpa C while we were in Kansas (couple posts devoted to the trip, keep reading):
Hope everyone reading this is doing well and keeping warm! It's already getting chilly out there!~kerrie
