6 months

My little man is 6 months old! This baby stage is flying by and I am doing my best to grab a hold and enjoy every minute. It seems like every time I'm in his closet I'm packing away clothes and baby gear we no longer need. Boo hoo....it's hard for me to imagine being forever done but as of right now that is the plan. My school is having a garage sale this weekend and I could not bring myself to taking the bags of stuff up to school. I have to hold on just a bit longer...

As for this boy, he is just as sweet, spoiled, and happy as can be. He is sitting and eating lots of fruits and veggies. He really likes sweet potatoes, carrots, and bananas. He's ok with squash, green beans, and avocado. He really doesn't care for peas. I'm still making most of his food, which surprisingly I'm enjoying and it's saving some money. He loves his bouncy gym (forgot it's name) and his play mat, but still isn't a big fan of his bed or sleeping. I've been making him cry it out when I put him down at night, but he is still waking frequently and will not go back down without eating. This weekend we have sleep training boot camp planned. Hope I have lots of wine available. There is nothing that makes me more anxious than a screaming baby. I'm hoping a few nights of crying will get him sleeping through the night. We need some sleep around here.

Here's some pictures of the big 6 month old. I think he's probably around 19 lbs.
Here's his big sister at 6 months. She weighed about 16 and a half pounds. The one big difference is Caroline had darker hair at this point and her eyes were beginning to darken. Carter still has his bright blues, so I think they are here to stay.

This past weekend we discovered Carter loves balloons. Ignore our chuckles in the background!

Mr. Carter, you are a gift from above and we love you so much.
