Carter is 8 Months Old!

Crazy how quickly time is a-flyin'!!! Our little boy turned 8 months old today!

First, a few stats before I put up all of the photos...

~~Biggest accomplishment of the month has been Carter's "commando" crawling (see post dedicated to his new mobility...yikes...)! We spent the previous weekend putting in outlet covers, gates, etc. It's only a matter of time before he's into everything and our hair turns gray.

~~He weighs in just under 19 pounds. Probably would be a little bigger if he wasn't on these super-antibiotics for the double ear infection. But hey, we love changing poopy diapers, right? Oh wait...

~~The size 9-month clothes are getting snug (except the pants, still has a skinny waist). So we're mostly in size 12-month now. Just have to do a little sleeve rolling for his shirts to keep them from hanging off.

~~Finally, Carter has eaten all sorts of foods: green beans, yellow squash, blueberries, green peas, prunes, sweet potatoes, cherries, mangoes, bananas, apples, peaches, pumpkins, and more! Haven't found a food that he hasn't liked, so let's hope it stays that way until he's 30!

And on to the photos...the "photo cards" are becoming a bit of a challenge to capture correctly, so here's a sampling of tonight's "KU Baby" photo shoot (and ignore the red eye...didn't feel like editing the photos tonight).

Take 1...oooh, what's this?!:
Take 2 - oooh, bendy!:
Take 3 - this is fun!: Take 4 - might as well eat it!:
Take 5 - Complete and total surprise! (one of my faves - click on it to make it bigger):
So I think I'll go with these next two as his "official" 8-month shots:
And this one - upside down still counts, right?:

Hope you're enjoying seeing our little guy grow up as much as we are! He's got such a great, sunny disposition, it's sometimes hard not to just smile when you see him!

Have a great night!
