8 Months Today!

Our sweet little boy still sleeps in his swing at night and during naps :)  What a sweetie!  He usually takes an hour nap in the morning and a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon, then one more little cat nap around 6pm for about half an hour.  Bedtime is usually around 10pm and he's up around 2 and 6 for feedings at night then up for the day around 9.  He used to sleep through the night (10p-7a) but that all went out the window when he had RSV at 5 months.  He would wake when he coughed and I would nurse him to calm him down and get him back to sleep....well, that habit stuck so he doesn't sleep through the night any more :(  Boooo!

He is still a very laid back kiddo, barely fusses and really enjoys watching his big brother and sister.  Speaking of his siblings, he has an extra special bond with Nathan and has since the first time the two brothers met.  They speak their own language and Nathan can make Carter smile and giggle like no one else can.  It's so sweet to watch!!  Natalie is a little mommy to him, always wanting to find his paci and blanket if he's fussing and she wants so badly to be able to feed him a bottle.  She also enjoys playing on the floor with him.

He is sitting now, has been since about 6.5 months.  No teeth yet.  Has only rolled over a handful of times.  He still HATES to be on his tummy so he will roll over to get off of it.  Still has not rolled back to belly yet, don't see that coming until he is ready to start crawling :)
