Carter is 5 months old now and getting way too big. He is old enough to respond to things and it's a lot of fun. Now that Carter responds Tyler has started to do little things to torment him like he does the dogs.
Carter has abandoned his binki and sucks on his first 2 fingers instead. He has a better grasp now and can hold most things. He is starting to enjoy playing with his toys. He enjoys laying under the activity center but plays as much with the legs as he does the other stuff. He will sleep up to about 6 hours but has only slept through the night once or twice.
He is still a really easy and happy baby. He isn't picky about who holds him. He will go to anyone and be happy with them. He likes to smile and his whole face lights up when he does. He has gotten a lot more upper body strength and can hold his head up without any support. We are working on getting him to put his legs down to support himself. He likes to just pull them up.
He loves his Grandpa. They take a nap together everyday and Dad gets him to sleep every night. In the mornings they sit together in Dad's recliner and read the newspaper.
We had a good Thanksgiving. Kathy and Grandma Pauline joined us. Grandma probably asked me 20 times how old Carter was and what I named him. It is so sad and hard to see.
