Carter had his 6 month check up today. We knew he was getting bigger and the official stats are in to prove it.
Weight: 20 lbs. 8 oz. (88%)
Height: 28 3/4 in. (96%)
So what is Carter up to these days?
Well, he can sit up on his own. We still put a barrier of pillows around him just in case he tips over but he does pretty well. He has 2 bottom teeth and he loves to have his teeth brushed. Carter says bob,bob,bob,bob and ta,ta,ta,ta. He is always blowing raspberries and making high pitched noises that we like to call singing. Carter loves interactive toys. His bongos and the v-tech nursery rhyme book from Jill and Milt Anderson are two of his favorites. (Thanks for the half-birthday gift, Andersons!) We started putting toys in the big bathtub with Carter and he thinks the squirt toys are pretty cool. Some have even graduated from bathtub toys to everyday toys. Baby food has been a big hit. So far he's liked everything we've given him. Carter loves pears and green beans the best. 6 months is a great age. He is doing so much more now and his personality is really coming out. For the most part he is a happy baby - always smiling. However, sleeping through the night has still been a challenge for us. At 4 months we initiated "operation tough love". We got him down to one feeding a night so we felt it was a success. Once he started teething he was up 2-3 times a night again so we have to start all over again. Augh! We are bound and determined to have this kid sleeping through the night before he is 7 months old. Stay tuned on our progress!

Becky-6 months is such a fun age & I swear, it only gets better from there! My goodness, Maguire weighed in at 20.11 lbs at his 9 month check up! Do you have carseat #2 yet? We (well, actually Grandpa) made the big investment & we are really happy with the Britax Marathon. It comes highly reccommended! Hope to see you soon! :)
