23 Weeks

Time for an update! We have been really busy around here, as this past weekend was PawPaw Hightower's funeral, and also our 6-year wedding anniversary. I am so thankful that Carter and PawPaw Hightower were able to meet one another.

I have been home this month, and bring him to the sitter later in the morning so I can run errands and get things done! Carter has been doing great, and has been on rice cereal for over a week now. The pediatrician suggested waiting until 6 months, but the little guy was just too hungry. He still working on trying to crawl, he has a full-belly giggle, sucks his thumb and toes, and has new fuzzy hair that sticks staight up. He also purses his lips together, sometimes smacking. He looks like an old man. Here are some recent pics - two are watching his videos (he is watching PraiseBaby right now - the music is peaceful and he likes watching all the other little babies), and one is what he looks like after his daddy fed him cereal. When his dad isn't feeding him, Carter is a fairly neat eater. He even uses the bib to wipe his mouth. However, he did grab the spoon out of my hand and put it in his, slinging cereal everywhere. Mr. Independent.
