Sorry it's been awhile

I'm sure you can imagine how busy I've been. :o) Here's some updates;

~Carter laughed at me yesterday. He hasn't done it since, I don't know if it was a fluke but it was definitely a laugh. And it was so cute!

~Carter has great neck control, I'm impressed. And he doesn't really like laying down, he'd much rather sit up. So because of this I've started putting him in his Bumbo. Can I just say that I love the ­Bumbo?!


~Carter got his first haircut last weekend. I know, I know he's not even 2 months old yet but it was getting long! He was asleep almost the entire time so he had no idea what was going on.

~Last weekend my family and I went to the hospital to visit my grandfather. If you remember a couple of posts ago I posted some pictures of Carter and my grandpa. Well in the two weeks since his health has greatly deteriorated. He has dementia and is in the hospital until they can find a home for him. Even though he doesn't really know what's going on and usually forgets who people are (even family) he LOVES seeing Carter. His eyes lit up when we brought Carter in the room. Here's a picture of the two;

~We've discovered that Carter has reflux. It's not fun. He spits up a lot. I don't mean the normal amount of baby spit up, I mean the "don't get in his path after he's eaten because it will shoot 2 feet from his mouth and nail you" kind of spit up. He's on Zantac. His 2 month appointment is Monday (I can't believe he'll be 2 months old on Sunday!!) and the pediatrician will follow up with how that's working for him.

~He's sleeping much better. He usually goes to sleep around 9:00 or 10:00 and will sleep until 4:00 or 5:00, then eat, then go back to sleep for another few hours. I'm liking it!

~A couple of weeks ago Carter got to meet his 3rd cousin (my cousin's daughter). They are so cute next to each other. She's two weeks younger but is bigger than him.

Here's a random cute picture of Carter that Grant took on his cell phone the other day. He's just full of smiles.

All in all things are great. The first 6 weeks were a little rough because he cried a lot and needed to be held all the time. I contribute a lot of that to the reflux. Now he loves laying on his play mat and kicking his fit and waving his arms. He'll do that for a good 10-20 minutes. And I can almost always get a smile out of him when I'm changing his diaper.
