Seven Months Old

I've decided that seven months old is the best age ever! I know that I've said that every month of Carter's life, but this time I really mean it. He is an absolute delight. He mimics noises we make, smiles and lights up every time he sees one of us, and giggles and giggles when he rolls away from me when I'm trying to change his clothes or diaper. He is understanding more of his world, and watches our reactions to the things he does. There is less fussy time now. He is such a happy, playful little guy. We absolutely adore him!

Our Big Preschooler

Here is our little Emily during her first week of preschool. She loves preschool and doesn't mind at all that she is going to preschool in our basement. In fact, she probably wouldn't attend if it was any other way! We are working on the seperation thing still, but it's getting A LOT better. She has loved playing with friends, singing songs, and learning more letters. She calls me "mom" when she addresses me directly during preschool. But, when she's talking to the other kids she refers to me as "the teacher". It cracks me up. I love seeing her in this new setting!

Carter's Stats

Carter's Stats at 6 Months Old
Height 93rd percentile
Weight 17th percentile

I recently took Carter to his 6 month check up (even though he is days away from being 7 months). He once again had grown like a weed in height, but gained only a pound. My doctor assured me that their scale really was working (I was convinced it was broken after his 4 mo. check up because I'd never had a baby drop below 85% in weight). They also assured me that he is fine. He's just making up for coming out almost 10 pounds and he's probably just going to be tall and thin like his dad. So here's our little buddy at 6 months. He is definently our thinnest baby. But he's still got the cheeks!
