Off the Charts....

I took Carter to the Dr. yesterday for his 2 month checkup. I knew he had grown but I didn't imagine he had grown this much. He weighed in at a HUGE 15 pounds 6 oz and is 26 inches long. He has grown 5 inches since birth and is about a half pound away from doubling his birth weight. The doctor said he was perfectly proportioned though for his height. So we don't need to call Weight Watchers yet! He can still wear most of his 0-3 month clothes though. I don't know how since they say they only go up to 12 pounds.


Here are a few pictures that show some of Carter's favorite things. #1 Sleeping. And his hands must be by his face in exactly this position to sleep.
#2-Going running with me. He is a good little sport and loves to be in the jogger. He either falls fast asleep or just lays there and enjoys the view.
#3-This is his new favorite thing-his thumb. He's always liked to suck on his fingers or wrist because he just couldn't quite figure out how to get the thumb in there. Not anymore-that thumb finds its way into his mouth quite easily now. It is so cute to watch him suck on it. He makes these loud smacking noises and really goes to town on it. He mostly sucks on it right before he falls asleep and right as he's waking up. Neil is left handed and I think Carter might be too-he always sucks on his left thumb. Never his right one.
#4-His bouncer chair and Mr. Horsie. Carter loves to sit in his bouncer and stare up at the cow and duck hanging down. He tries his hardest to get his hands up there but he's not quite coordinated enough. Mr. Horsie is the brown thing next to his face. He's half horse, half blanket. I introduced Mr. Horsie to Carter about a month ago because I want him to have a "lovie" and this one is small and very cute. He likes to snuggle up to him and have his face right next to the softness. He does try and suck on Mr. Horsie's head if he can.
These are just a few of his favorite things.....
