6 months already!!

I can't believe my little baby turned 6 months old on the 12th!! Where has time gone?!! At his 6 month appointment, dr said everything was looking great. He has doubled his birth weight--weighing in at 16 lbs and 1 oz and is 25 1/2 inches long. He is in the 25% still for weight and dropped a little bit in the height department to 19%. Looking at how tall Jason and I are he doesn't stand a chance. Poor guy!! He has started to get more and more personality and is such an easy going, happy baby. He is such a good roller, but has no desire yet to sit on his own. Someday we will get there!

These photos (above and 3 below) were taken on his 1/2 birthday!

The day after his 1/2 birthday we decided to start some "real" food. First food-sweet peas. He LOVED them!!! He probably would have eaten more if we let him. I just didn't want to fill up his belly too much.

Here he is already trying to feed himself...

Also another thing Carter has learned to do is to hold his own bottle! It is exciting and sad at the same time since my baby is growing up soooo fast!!

On Saturday the 19th, Alyssa, Jeff, Jason, Carter, and I headed down to the Gateway mall downtown. They were having a chalk art festival. Here were some of the entries. It was amazing to see what they could do with just chalk! After walking around we enjoying some drinks and nachos at Sky Box.

Mr. Man loves his stroller and shades!!

We had a pretty relaxed Father's Day. I went for a 6 mile run in the morning while Carter got a much needed nap. Later that afternoon we went and saw Toy Story 3D with Jamie, Amanda and the girls. It was the first movie we have taken Carter to and he did AMAZING! He watched the first half of the movie than took a nap. He woke up and we had his bottle ready already and than the movie was over. Maybe Jason and I will be going to more movies with him. After the movie I cooked Jason some dinner and his favorite--chocolate cherry brownies. Carter got him a Mickey Mouse golf towel, a Mickey Mouse driver cover, and 2 passes for 18 holes. What a great daddy!!

Nap time for the boys! (You can't see the dogs in this photo, but they were sleeping too)
