5 Months Old!

Time is flying!

Sporting his Yonder Mountain digs

 
These are some out takes from a few days earlier

 This is what he does when he wants to stand up (which is what he always wants to do, see below!)

Things I want to remember about Carter at 5 months (this is my unofficial baby book!)
-Sitting  up longer each day
-Rolling over from tummy to back all the time, but only tummy to back every so often.  Weird bc he used to roll that way all the time.  Sleeping on tummy all the time.  We can't even get out of the room before he has flipped himself.
-Laughing at weird sounds you make, swinging movement, Lilly of course, and just random moments of nothing and he starts chuckling.  Love those baby laughs.
-Wants to be standing ALL the time.  He gives these little grunts of frustration when you want him to do something else.
-Talks quite a bit and loudly.  I got up and fed him on Sunday, handed him off to Niles and went back to bed.  Had a hard time getting to sleep bc he was being so loud all the way in the kitchen.   I have fun making up what he is saying and answering him.  ( I do this to all my animals as well)  If I was on secret camera, I'm sure it would be amusing.
- BFing 6 times a day.  Still takes him 30 min to eat.  I am hoping he will speed up a little soon.
-Sleeps fabulously (thank you God for such a good sleeper)  He goes down at 8:30 p.m. and wakes up at 7 something.  Sometimes earlier, sometimes longer.  I let him be my alarm.

So far he is a really easy going baby.  Don't know how we got so lucky!

We leave for Lake Texoma tomorrow.  And yes my CO friends that is OK and TX put together.  The lake is in both states, so it is a very logical name;)  Little confusion with our travel plans.  We had originally planned for me to go to the lake this Sat.  Go to Tulsa on Thursday, Lawrence on Sunday, and home on Wednesday.  Niles had  issues with his work schedule, so the second half of the trip had to be postponed a week.  Now I am leaving for the lake tomorrow and then coming back to CO on Friday.  We will then come to T-town Thurs, July 28, Lawrence July 31 (only Tiff and Carter), and back to CO Aug 3.  Would love to see everyone, give us a call!
