OMG!! Baby Carter is 10 months old!!

Weight:  JUST weighed him right now AND he's 19.5 lbs!  OMG I can't believe how much he's gained in the last couple of weeks :)

Height:  Last we checked he was 28.5 inches I'm thinking he's probably 29 now.

Clothing Size:  He still wears LOTS of 4-6, 3-6 and 6-9 clothes.  

Diaper Size:  Still in 3's :)

Feeding:  He's an eating machine now!  He still nurses every morning then eats breakfast, nurses to take his morning nap, then eats lunch some snacks nurses to take his late nap and then wakes up eats dinner, then nurses to sleep.  He's eating all kinds of regular food now, it makes life so much easier.  A few of his favorites are FRUIT, puffs, and beans :)  yep he's definitely a MEXICAN baby :D

Sleep:  He's doing better at sleeping through the night I would say 4 out of 7 nights he sleeps from 10 or 11 to 5 or 6 am, which is awesome!  I'll take what I can get :)

Milestones:  He got his two top teeth this month!  and is learning how to talk more and more, still the only word he really KNOWS how to say is "mommmmmmm" and i love it!   He is a crawling beast now and can crawl everywhere and actually gets annoying when we don't let him down to crawl!  He is still just standing up on things no standing on his own yet, and he's still a little bald baby :) but getting more and more hair every day!  Oh and he's also learned to crawl ON TOP of things!  like our bed, the couch, his toys, etc.

Adventures:  This month we went on our VERY first family vacation!  we had a blast, it was definitely an experience going on vacation with a small baby, and the weather wasn't perfect but of course we had a good time.  We went to a couple of restaurants to celebrate my birthday and this little dude is so good at restaurants its ridiculous!  I LOVE IT!  As long as we give him food to eat with us, he loves to sit in the high chair with us at the table. 

Mommy & Daddy could NOT get through this month without:  Our little pumpkin, I swear he gets more and more fun every single day!  He's a crack up and is always getting into everything.  We wouldn't have it any other way.  Also we couldn't get through this month without lots of snacks, baby food, baby spoons AND lots and lots of toys :)

P.S. someone got their top teeth this month too.  They make him look so grown up :(

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 :(

OMG!! Baby Carter is 1/2 a year old!!

YES!!  I know I'm wayyyy late,  Carter will already be 7 months a week from yesterday! BUT here it is anyway :)

Weight: still 15 lbs but we go to the doctor this week, to get an actual measurement considering I just stand on the scale and then pick him up and stand on it again to measure his weight :)  doubt it exact.

Height:  I think he's about 25 inches we shall see very soon.

Clothing Size:  He's all over the place, in pajamas and stuff he's in 6, 6-12 or even 12m, in clothes he can still fit some 3-6 and 12m shirts, either he's a weird size OR all these clothing companies need to get their ish together and get the sizing right.

Diaper Size:  still in 3's and doesn't seem like he's going to be out of them for a while.

Feeding:  This month he started eating REAL food, well baby food!  I think we were more excited then him, actually I'm positive we were, at first he was confused but NOW he LOVES it!  Cries for more, it's so cute!  He's still BF too, which is great!  Can't believe how fast he's growing seriously!

Sleep:  Ummm that depends on the night, some nights he sleeps GREAT!  only waking up once at like 6 am to eat, some nights not so much.  so we'll say it's inconsistent.

Milestones:  He started scooting along this month.  He can ALMOST crawl!  He gets up on all fours and bounces and he'll move his hands forward and feet forward just can't figure out how to move them all at the same time.  I think it's just gonna be a couple more weeks and he'll have it down.  He also started sitting up pretty steady this month.  I love that we can sit him places now.  I feel like he's grown so much this month, it's amazing because I remember asking people like when do babies crawl?  when do babies start eating?  When do they sit up good?  and it was always 6 months and now that we're here it's crazy that he is reaching all these milestones at once!  He also babbles a lot now, he says Mommmmmmmmm and i love it!  (guess we still can't call it his first word?  but it's the only "word" he says)  ;)

Adventures:  We had his baptism.  He celebrated his first Easter.  We definitely did MORE but I can't remember it all :)

Mommy & Daddy could NOT get through this month without:  Our sweet baby boy.  I don't know how it's at all possible, but I swear we fall MORE and MORE in love with this little boy every single day!  He's amazing.  We also couldn't have gotten through the last month without our A&A swaddlers STILL yes he lovesssss to be swaddled, our chuppies, our spoons :) bibs, high chair OH and sophie!

OMG!! Baby Carter is FIVE months old!!

Weight:

Height:

Clothing Size:  he is MOSTLY in 3-6 month clothes, he can still fit into his 3 month onesies, and they fit PERFECT I'm thinking that within the next couple of weeks they won't fit anymore, but right now his 6 month ones just fit so big.  AND all of his t-shirts, like the stretchy material ones are 6 months, idk he just doesn't fit into the smaller ones.  AND his shoes he's in size 2 still, but I always buy at least size 3 or even 4 because I get so nervous that he'll just grow overnight and then he won't get to wear them at all.

Diaper Size:  welllllll he SHOULD be in size 2 still, because that is what fits him BUT I order his diapers on amazon and since we order by the hundreds, I was so worried that he'd outgrow his size 2 diapers before we got to use them all, so I ordered size 3...now I'm thinking I messed up and should have just stuck with the 2's because the 3's don't fit his waist at all....what to do what to do...still haven't figured it out...BUT he'll probably just be in size 3 FOREVER since we put him in them so early.

Feeding:  He is still EBF BUT at six months we are going to start giving him food....is it bad that I seriously CAN NOT wait!!  I can't wait to see how he reacts to food...and to not be the only one to feed him....soooo by next month update he should have already tasted his first food, and I'll be SURE to post lots and lots of pictures :)  (i'm sure you would love that right?)

Sleep:  hmmmm well for the MOST part his sleep is good, BUT my poor little dude is teething because he'll randomly wake up at night screaming his head off!    If we stick some orajel in his mouth his is instantly fine, and goes right back to sleep...my poor baby :(  I hope those teeth pop out SOON!

Milestones:  He can sit up for a couple of seconds now, maybe 30 and then he'll throw himself over to the side.  he also can get around anywhere on our floor, he'll figure a way to get there by turning and spinning and rolling, it's so funny!  He knows his  name now and will turn when someone calls him :)  he gets distracted when eating, so if someone's talking he'll turn his head like they're talking to him (funny but kinda annoying when I'm trying to feed him discreetly).  he laughs at all kinds of stuff now, makes things so much funnier then they are because he's busting up laughing.

Adventures:  this month carter helped his dad celebrate his bday :)

Mommy & Daddy could NOT get through this month without:  Baby Carter, we seriously can't get enough of his bald head.  Oh and our swaddle blankets (still) all of our cute clothes AND The Black Keys!  Carter loves loves loves them :D

I know that I have heard people say over and over again, BUT it truly does get better & better every single day!  Right now he learns so much!!!  He can copy lots of things we do.  and he pays so much attention to us!  I never in a million years thought that motherhood would be THIS amazing!  He really brings so much joy to us, and I can't believe that he's been here for ALMOST 1/2 year!!!

my little bald headed baby is getting more hair, and it's even more funny that it grows funny so it looks like he constantly has bed head :)  I PROMISE I brushed it before these pics!

OMG!! Baby Carter is FOUR months old!!

Weight: just weighed him and he's 14.6 :O can't believe how big he's getting!  that's ALMOST double what he was born at!  #pleasestopgrowingsofast

Height:  I think he's probably about 25 inches, last time I checked he was 2 feet :)

Clothing Size:  He can still fit his 3 month clothes (barely) and he's MOSTLY in 3-6 BUT anything six 6 months is still ridiculously big!  Except t-shirts, and pajamas those he has to have in size 6 months, I'm thinking it's because of the material?  I don't know but I can't believe he can even fit into six month clothes at all!

Diaper Size:  Still size 2, but since I order his diapers on amazon I ordered size 3 next, so we'll see how that goes.

Feeding:  He's still exclusively BF, we're waiting until he gets closer to 6 months to start any solids, EVEN if everyone in my family thinks it's time for him to eat CAKE   >.<  anyone else have this problem??

Sleep:  Hmmm I can't really say, he's steady because one week he'll sleep 6 hours straight then then wake up to eat and go back to sleep for another 6 hours, BUT other times he's up every two hours, SO all I can say is I am either used to waking up like this or it's getting better, because I hardly ever feel tired in the mornings.

Milestones:
-This month he started smiling at people that you know, I can't help but smile when he start smiling & kicking your feet because he see me or his dad it's the BEST.
-He LAUGHS so much now, especially when you tickle him, HILARIOUS!
-Starts kicking in the bath
-Is slowly BUT surely learning how to use his jumper.
(actually he shuffles, I MUST get it on video asap)
-He learned how to whine, is that a milestone?
-He learned how to roll on his side and will eventually turn himself completely around!! :-O
-He also learned how to roll kinda he'll get over BUT gets stuck AND he can roll from his stomach to his back ONLY the first time you put him down after that he won't do it again...weird? Ya I thought so too.
-OH and he LOVES to play indian :) (is that what it's called?  when you pat their mouth and they make noise?  that's probably not the politically correct word at all BUT I am part indian soooo i can say that right?)
-Oh and he learned how to YELL!!!  I love it!!!  SO funny!
-OMG I totally ALMOST forgot!!!  He learned to say MOM!!!!!  NO joke, he says it...I'm sure he doesn't know he's calling me...BUT he does say MOM ;)  does that count as his first word?  or he has to associate it with something for it to be a word, and not just a sound?  Whateva...his FIRST sound is MOM :)  LOVE LOVE LOVE!  CLEARLY he loves me the MOST :D

(Man we learned lots this month ha?)

Adventures:
-Went to a Toms Sale GOT 7 pairs of brand new Toms!
-Took Valentine's Day pictures!
-Celebrated Valentines Day
-Took our FIRST family pictures ;) (pictures coming soon)

Mommy & Daddy could NOT get through this month without:
-Carter!!  Literally he's the highlight of our lives, I can't believe how much I Love this kid.
-his jumper, he loves that thing!!
-his chuppies (he's obsessed)
-STILL lovin our Aden + Anais swaddlers
-OUR phones, so we can take LOTS and LOTS of pictures and videos of our cute little boy!  :)

Now, please Carter STOP GROWING SO FAST!!  These last FOUR months have FLOWN by, I feel like I'm going to wake up and my sweet little boy is going to be 18!  -.-  Slow down time!!!  You're giving me whiplash!

Happy 4 Months baby :)

Happy 3 Months Baby Carter

3 months!?!!?  Where does the time go??  I KNOW that everyone always says that, but really??  THREE whole months already!!!  OMG!  I can't believe how much different Carter is just from a short three months ago!  Where did my little squishy scrunchy baby go??  Long gone are the days of a tiny newborn we now have an INFANT!  Is it bad that when I got the email telling me that my little baby was NO longer classified as a newborn it made my eyes water, because I can't believe how fast the newborn stage went by?  I mean I can NOT even explain to you how excited I am for him to get bigger and to see more of his personality unfold BUT I just can't believe how fast my tiny baby is growing!  P.S. is it bad that I am already getting teary-eyed thinking that one day my baby is going to be a man :(  I can't even think about it....ugh I swear my pregnancy hormones never went away!  BUT anywho I'll stop making myself get sad about things that aren't going to come for many many years AND give you a run down of things we did THIS month! :D

Weight: I'm POSITIVE he's OVER 13 lbs now!!  I'm thinking 13 and a quarter maybe?  He feels so heavy!  At his two month appointment (yes it was a couple of weeks late) he was 12 lbs 11 oz, and I definitely think he went through a growth spurt right after that!

Height: at his 2 month appt he was 24 inches, woot woot my baby is OFFICIALLY over 2 feet tall, next up Six Flags :)  AND I feel like his pants are still shrinking :l  Maybe he's gonna be tall!??  Let's hope.

Clothing size: He is OFFICIALLY in SOME 6 months clothes, definitely can fit 3-6 and I was so sad the other day we put him in some 6-12 month pjs and they fit!!  A tiny bit big but still!?  At this rate he's going to go through all of his clothes SUPER fast!  He still fits 3 months but MOST of his 0-3 besides onesies are getting kinda snug...all his cute sleep n' plays are getting a little tight in the feet :(

Diaper size: He's in size 2 for sure, after all those blow outs we had in size 1 we changed him and YEP it was the diapers, he can't help it this baby's got back! :)

Feeding:  I've been so bad at keeping track of when he eats....usually because my phone is dying!  BUT he's eating around every 3-4 hours maybe longer if he's sleeping.

Sleep: he's been okay...I don't really know because whenever he wakes up at night now I'm like a zombie and don't really notice that he's awake I just feed him and we all go back to sleep...usually I don't even notice what time it is.

Milestones: OMG!!  I was sooooo excited that this month he started laughing!!  I can't get enough!!!  Eeeek it's soooooo freakin cute!!!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it, definitely the CUTEST thing he does by far, BUT this little grouchy baby does not do it often, he MUST find something really funny to laugh I NEED to get it on video.  He also babbles a lot more now, DEFINITELY knows what he's looking at AND puts things in his mouth...like your arm, his hands, and sometimes he'll figure out how to get his own chuppie back into his mouth :)

Adventures: let's seee....we had our FIRST Christmas & New Years this month

AND we started a brand new year....we also got registered for our baptism....

Carter went to his first ever kids party!

We got to wear our Dodger Jacket even if its a little big...

He got his first shots!

and he learned how to play playstation :)
