Carter - 6 Months Old

Carter just turned 6 months old. I can't believe it has been 1/2 year since he was born. This is a fun age. He is trying to get into everything he can reach. He is eating soft baby foods and is enjoying it. He really likes bananas. He and Grandpa have both had the flu. Carter had Influenza A. He was so sick. I had my right foot operated on on the 29th so it's been interesting with everyone sick and my not being able to carry him. It was pretty rough for a few days. 

Carter still doesn't like the binki and doesn't suck on his fingers quite as much as he did. He has been drooling constantly now for months. We change his bib about 4 times a day. He rubs at his ears and cheek but still no teeth. It would sure be nice if they could just break through and we could decrease the drool. I love when he looks at me and I say, "Hi." He give me the cutest smile. His whole body lights up when he sees me. If he is facing away and hears my voice he will turn his whole body trying to find me. 

He sits in his high chair now during dinner and entertains everyone. Christmas was a lot more fun just having him around. All he wanted was to suck on the wrapping paper. I didn't wrap most of his gifts. He got a couple of toys and some clothes. 

He was Jesus at the Christmas Eve party. Brooklyn was Mary and he just laid in her arms and looked around like he was wondering what this was all about. He was as good as can be. He is so laid back. I am so very blessed.
