5 months

"goose"--er...i mean, carter,

you are a grumpy 5 month old today! i think your mouth is bothering you but it's still a bit of a bummer for you to not be yourself on your month birthday (it especially shows in the outtakes of your 5 month photo session with mommy)! oh well, life will go on. :)
i started by calling you "goose" because i think you might think that your name is goose. i have to intentionally call you carter--goose comes out naturally. hopefully this won't having a lasting effect on your development...

you're growing and changing everyday and some of the cute little things you were doing the last week or so (like: loving to be on your tummy on your playmat playing with your monkey and star blanket, sucking on bare shoulders and playing with your tongue) you don't do as much. but no worries, mommy got pictures of most of those things! :)

________________________

you're currently...

...in size 2 diapers

...quite the thumbsucker{with grandma z}

...sleeping MUCH better (with the exception of last night where you woke up suddenly at 11pm and cried--not fussed--but CRIED for over an hour--probably a contributing factor to today's grumpiness). and just in the last day or so, you've started sleeping with your butt up in the air!

...this close to sizing up to 3-6 month clothes (you're probably ready now, but mommy's been a slacker and hasn't washed those clothes yet)

...have found your feet and if your mouth isn't occupied by a thumb or fist and there's no sock or footed sleeper in your way, there's a foot in there! (your grandma h used to have to keep socks on mommy's feet to keep them out of her mouth!)
...give a scrunched nose face that is sometimes followed by a smile{no smile in this case...this was more of a "get away with that camera"!}

...grab your toys, mommy's hair, glasses, necklaces, etc. with a death grip

...love it when mommy talks in her normal voice (i call it "serious talking") especially when she's talking to another adult that way

...do this super-sweet cuddle hold and sometimes rest your head on mommy or daddy's shoulder, whichever one of us is carrying you :)

...sit SO WELL assisted...not so much unassisted--you last about 1.5 seconds before toppling over and are JUST starting to sit and play in your bumbo!

...L.O.V.E. to stand up! i'm not sure that it's a recent development because you seem to have loved it forever, but i thought i'd mention it again________________
