Carter's 4 Months Old

Mr. Carter Anderson is 4 Months Old TODAY!! 

That is crazy! Where have the last 4 months gone? We fall more and more in love with our big guy every day. I just want to say too, that I have the most wonderful husband in the world. I've heard so many stories of dad's that aren't really hands on with babies and Kevin is the complete opposite. We are equal partners in taking care of Carter. Especially when he gets home from work, he takes the lead in entertaining Carter, feeding him and changing his diapers. Thank you hun, you are more appreciated than you know!

Few things about Carter:

*I can roll over now!! I don't like to do it often though, but I roll over when I want. I can roll over from the back to tummy and tummy to back. And I can roll over to the right and to the left now.

*I definitely need more attention now. I am so much more alert and if I see mom or dad aren't paying attention to me, I like to fuss. Not cry, but fuss. Sometimes its hard for mom and dad to get things done when the other isn't around to help out. But we love our little man and just have to plan things out a bit more.

*I still love the car, but I know when the car stops and I dont like it. But as soon as the car starts moving again, I'm good.

*I like to put everything in my mouth. I still get frustrated when everything doesn't fit into my mouth like I want it to.

*I LOVE standing up. If I'm fussy, standing up will make it all better. Mom and Dad help me stand up and I'm so good at putting weight on my legs. Dad even lets me lean on the ottoman and I can stand by myself for a few seconds.

*The swing doesn't cure all things anymore. I constantly want to be doing things.

*I still sleep about 9-9.5 hours at night, but a few times a week I like to wake up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I put myself back to sleep after crying for a bit, but other times mom or dad just need to rock me and I'm back to sleep.

*I fight naps like crazy now. I'm tired but just won't go to sleep sometimes during the day. I tend to take more cat naps than long naps.

He is 16lbs 15 oz which is 85%, and he's 26 1/4 inches long which is 90%.

Carter has the cutest personality and people are so surprised on how chill he is most of the time. His smile brightens my day.
