Time

You know when I was younger I would judge the passing of time by how close it was until a break from school, as soon as you started school you automatically start counting the days until your first day off!  Usually wasn't too long before Labor Day or at least thanksgiving because it was a FOUR day weekend!  But there wasn't something to tell me how fast time was going by, and really when I was young it took FOREVER for summer break to come again...am I right?

Now that I have Carter time has seriously gone so fast!  I KNOW I KNOW EVERYONE complains how fast time goes by once they have a kid really is true!  Ask anyone with a kid!  One of the first things you'll hear is "Enjoy it!  It goes faster then you know!" I could not even begin to tell you how fast these last 8 months have flown by!  Literally!  Like what?!  8 months!  ;( I mean I'm not complaining carter is so much fun!  He's crawling!  Laughing!  Getting into EVERYTHING!  And so alert and so much fun!  But as I sit here typing this I can't help but be sad thinking that I will NEVER in my whole life or his life be able to hold that little tiny baby again!  

I was at my grandmas house today & I was watching Carter in his walker and I said "man, I can't believe how fast 8 months has gone by" and she said "I know." Then I asked her "can you still picture my dad like that?  A little baby?  Can you believe that was almost 50 years ago?" Her & my eyes welted up thinking about it and then I said "I can't even imagine when Carter's a grandpa." Both of us in tears, and I totally didnt mean to make us cry but just as I am sitting typing with tears in my eyes I can't help but get sentimental thinking about time.  And just how fast it goes by.  I mean one day!  WAY WAY WAYYYYY down the road I will be a Great Grandma and I'm going to still be complaining about how fast time is flying by.

And I will be constantly reminding myself to enjoy my time!  Enjoy every moment I have on this earth because time is too precious to waste!

OMG!! Baby Carter is 8 months old!

Again, so late!  I know I'm so behind it's ridiculous, how do all these bloggers keep up with their blog and their kids?  My kid keeps me super busy!  BUT Carter is well on his way to 9 months I can't believe how fast it's gone!

Weight:  Last time I weighed him he was about 17 lbs, I really have no idea how people keep up with it all the time.

Height:  I think I measured him that he was about 26" I think shoot I'm terrible at keeping track of these things, I can never remember.

Clothing Size:  In clothes that actually run true to size like Carter's & Osh Kosh he's in 9 months.  Everywhere else, like gap, old navy he's in 6-12 in tops and 3-6 in bottoms :)  He's a skinny little guy :D

Diaper Size:  Still size 3's :)

Feeding:  He eats 2 mostly 3 meals a day now plus lots of puff snacks and fruit, and still BF every couple of hours.  He's a chubby baby in a skinny baby's body

Sleep:  same, great some nights awful other nights.

Milestones:  This month was a HUGE one, Carter's two bottom teeth popped out AND he officially started crawling and not just scooting!

Adventures:  No idea this was months ago :(
