Carter - Two Months Old!

Carter was 2 months old on the 14th of September. It's so hard to believe! I know people always say that but it never ceases to amaze me how fast it goes! At his 2 month appointment he weighed 10 lbs. 10 oz. He had doubled his birth weight plus. Other than the development of reflux, Carter has been very healthy and happy. He is pretty content most of the time. I had a sweet Mommy moment the other night. Carter was so fussy because of the reflux discomfort and John was holding him. I walked over to and asked if John wanted me to take him. He stopped crying and looked up at me with a huge grin and reached one arm toward me with a pointed finger. (The arm part was a total fluke but none the less.) Those smiles are the biggest reward that God gives us with little babies when we are so tired from lack of sleep and we are wondering if we are doing the right things! This last week, Carter really started to entertain himself with the play mat and bouncy seat. He will just hang out and smile while he watches the toys. He is cooing some but the most noise he makes is when I'm late with the bottle. He gets that bottle in his mouth and just starts to grumble at me! Parker still loves him so much! He loves to lay on the chair and have Carter snuggle up on his chest. We are having a blast- life is good!
