Carter is 8 Months Old!

Carter became 8 months old today!  I weighed and measured Carter at home since he doesn't go back to the pediatrician until next month for his 9 month well visit.  Carter weighed in at 20 pounds and measured 27 1/2 inches long.  Carter is talking up a storm and on the move!!

 Carter would not leave his tie alone, so I had to put it on his back.

Carter babbled his first word on May 5th, which was "ba ba."  A weird first word, especially since Carter does not like to take a bottle.  Carter has since uttered "dada, nana, and mama."  He is a talking machine.  He likes to grunt and whinny like a horse too.  Carter also likes the sound of clicking his tongue.  He is so full of little tricks.

Carter has always liked to be in the middle of everything and now when he isn't, Carter will roll to where the action is.  There is no leaving this little guy out of anything anymore.  Carter is starting to pull his knees underneath his belly and rock back and forth.  Carter and Nolan have a lot of fun playing together.  Nolan is still protective over his toys, but is starting to become better at sharing his things with Carter.

Carter is constantly chewing on his giraffe.  I googled top rated teething toys and Sofie the giraffe is what showed up as #1!  Well Carter loves to chew on her and play with her as well.  She has been the best of all the teething toys we have tried, so I strongly agree with the ratings. 

Happy 8 Months to my lovable and adventurous baby boy!
