Carter: 6 months

At 6 months you:

• weigh about 17 lbs.
• are 25in. long
• can sit up on your own (I still don't leave you for long because you like to throw yourself backwards)
• love being outside and enjoy your swing your daddy and Uncle Jared put up for you
• are still a mommy's boy
• sleep all night for the most part. Some nights you wake up at 4 and eat.
• are not the least bit interested in table food. You only eat fruits, and sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots. We have tried mashed potatoes, peas, and green beans needless to say you hate them.
• have the sweetest laugh

Carter I cannot believe you are already six months old. That happened way to fast for this momma. You are perfect in every way possible and complete our family in more ways that one. We love you to the moon and back. I can't wait to see what the next 6 months have in store for you. (It could go a little slower though.)

Easter with Maw Maw Betty

The Nursing Home had their egg hunt today and I carried Natalie and Carter to hunt eggs with Maw Maw. Aunt Joann, Bethany, and Kynlee also joined us and Aunt Melinda too of course! :)

This girl loves her Aunt B.

She would rather play with the grass in her basket.

Love my babies. This was the best we could get. :)

She had found an egg and was taking it to show Aunt Joann

Natalie and Kynlee had to take a break to love on Carter

Life as Big Sister

I'm Natalie has taken on the role of big sister like a champ. It did not take her long to see what needed to be done and now she is my little helper when it comes to caring for Carter. If he is crying and I am busy she will find his paci wherever it may be (I try to keep it close) and take it to him and put it in his mouth. She helps me feed and burp him. He is the only one that gets Natalie kisses and while I would love some Natalie kisses I think it is super sweet. She will give out hugs but kisses are for Bubba only. As soon as she wakes up in the mornings she goes straight to his bed to check on him. If he is already up she will look at me with a serious look, hold her hands up and say Bubba. If he is still in the bed she will crawl in there with him and love on him. It is too sweet.

Sometimes it's just plain exhausting!
