Carson at 6 Months Old


Wow, my little baby is getting so big!  I can't believe he's sitting up and sitting really well all of a sudden.  He hasn't been laying down much these days except to sleep.

Carson had his 6 month appointment yesterday and he weighs  17lbs 7 oz, and is sitting at 49th percentile for weight.  At his 4 month appointment he was in the 36th percentile, so our little man just keeps on growing! In the area of height, he is now 26 and 3/4 inches and at the 57th percentile.  At his 4 month  appointment in height he was in the 40th percentile and how he is in the 57% percentile.  Our tiny little baby sure has been trying to play catch up to his big brother!  
At the appointment they said, everything looked great and he seemed to be right on target!  He sure was trying to grab everything, everything they brought close to him he snatched up!  And of course he gave them all his cute, sweet, little smiles to show them how happy of a baby he is!  He always does this when people talk to him, if it's between the hours of 7am and 5:30 pm, he does great and smiles pretty at anyone who talks to him!

Carson, at 5 months, you are....

-still getting up multiple times every night, warning that mean mom and dad are coming out soon and we're going to be working on this
-loves standing up and sitting up to play
-can roll over both ways but pretty much chooses not to most of the time and would rather not lay down period so he doesn't get many chances
-is in size 3 diapers
-is getting to big for his 6 months clothing, we have a few 9 month things we are pretty much rotating every few days.  I hate to buy a lot more (plus you can't find much long sleeve stuff out anymore) since hopefully warm weather to stay is around the corner
-is doing better at  taking longer than 20 minute naps the last few days and doing better most days with the bottle.  Thankfully he is consistently eating more than 2 oz at a time, it was driving me bonkers!  Still doesn't take as much at each feeding as he should (most likely because the little stinker gets up at night still to eat)
-has started some baby food, but haven't got on real schedule with it yet or have a system down
-wants everything he can see, loves to reach and grab for anything (faces, hands, hair, toys, his brother, you get close he wants you)
-likes to watch some of his big brother's shows for a few minutes
-starting to reach for people, when he is in his walker and wants out he just looks at me with his arms out reaching towards me and whining like "mom come get me out!"

Carson you sure can be a sweetie, and sometimes you even let me cuddle with you.  The other night I stole some cuddle time when you were sleeping, you got up in the middle of the night, and fell asleep eating.  Mom just continued to rock you for awhile, just enjoying what a sweet sleeping baby you were!  I know you are going to be running around here before we know it!  We love you Carson!
