Bath time

He isn't quite thrilled with bath time right now...he prefers to shower.  Such a big boy!  ;-)  But, he doesn't mind taking baths and he is so cute doing them!!

He looks so tiny in that big old tub!



He much prefers chewing on his hand to getting clean.  Clean is overrated.  Especially the lotion part afterward.  He really doesn't think that is necessary.

See, chewing is way more fun than lotion!

Baby Food making party

Me and the girls on the street (Pri and Jaimi) decided that we needed to start making some baby food because our babes are going to be starting solids soon!  Well, Pri's little girl has already started, but Carter and Jaxson aren't there just yet. 

I am waiting until CEO is 6 months because that is what is recommended for babies to strengthen their digestive and immune systems so they're less likely to develop food allergies.  Which I, for one, know all about!  Growing up with practically every food allergy imaginable, I am hoping that Carter doesn't have the same poor luck that I did when it comes to food. 

He will be 6 months on Nov 7th and if his pediatrician says it's a go, then we will start solids.  :)  We made pumpkin, sweet potato, pears, and carrots.  I think that is a good start for now.  We have acorn squash and butternut squash sitting on the counter ready to be prepped as well. 

I'm excited for our new adventure coming up, but not so excited about the stinky poo.  I'm not gonna lie.

His facial expressions!

I love them!  He has such an array of expressions that he uses.  I love them all!


Little smirk.
 This one-ha!!!!


(Also, anyone else notice those chubby little legs?  *I die*!)

Real jean shorts

I thought these jean shorts were going to be too 'rough' on CEO's skin so I hadn't even put them on him.  But, when Jeff started dressing him in the mornings he put some outfits on I wouldn't have chosen and I'm glad he did.  These are my favorite little shorts on him!

Shoes

I thought I would try these on him since they are 3-6 months.  They're huge.  But-they are cute!

Teeth at 3 1/2 months.

 And Carter found his feet!  Apparently the best teethers are your own feet.  :)



Feets up!

Mom-guess what I've got in here??

2 little teeth!  See?!

He is so happy to have teeth!  This means solid foods in a couple of months.  He is seriously getting so big!

He's a big boy now!

While I'm making smoothies or doing dishes, Carter will sometimes sit in his high chair and watch.  :)  He likes checking out what goes on around the house.



Look at those little feet!

Soon enough we will be having sloppy, dirty, food-covered face pictures when he is starting to eat solid foods!

Play mat time

Carter has learned how fun play mats are!



He loves to look at himself in the mirror and kick all the toys at his feet. 

Such a cutie!!

Carter goes swimming!

Ok, so technically Carter can't swim yet.  But he does like playing in the water with his dad!  Here we are getting ready to take our first dip.


Aaaaaand here goes nothin!

I'm sure that is what the fountains are intended for....

 Where to next, dad???!!!

These eyes look D.O.N.E.

Fun family day at the pool.

And when he got cold, dad held him close.  

And because this picture makes me giggle....

At least we know what to do in the future if he doesn't want to take a nap!  :)

The finishing touch

Carter's room is finally done!

The closet curtains are up!  I wanted to put these up instead of closet doors so they make less noise when being opened and closed and so the door to the room didn't hit the closet door when it was open.  I think they are fabulous!!  




My dad did a beautiful job hanging them up.  This was a project we had been putting off and I knew I couldn't keep doing that because my sister is coming to town at the beginning of September.  And I knew since she practically did the rest of the room she would want to see the completely finished project when she was here.  :)  *Phew.*  Just in the nick of time!
