Growing so fast!

I can not believe that Carter is almost 7 months old already! It seems like just yesterday I was miserable and pregnant in my last trimester, waiting for him to come!! Next thing you know, he is here growing and changing every day! With everyday comes something new and exciting! Right now he is 17.5lbs!! A long way from his birth weight of 7lbs 10.3 oz & 21 inches long! Now he is also 26.5 inches long, thats 2 feet 2inches tall, haha! He sits up on his own with out support, rolls over, can pull himself to a sitting position from laying flat on his back, says baba, dada, and makes tons of other noises! He eats cereal and so far has eaten Apple sauce, Bananas, Peaches, Carrots, Peas, and Sweet potatoes! The first time Carter said Dada was 11/26 while I was at work :( He said it in front of daddy, Grammy d, and Grandad! The morning around 9 am..... 11.27 (Thanksgiving) he said Dada in front of mommy for the first time :) it was crystal clear and mommy was so proud! OH, and yes he said dada before mama, but its okay! I know he will say mama soon!! This month (December 20th) we have an appointment to get family photos done at Portrait Studios in Waldorf. We are very excited and I will post those when I get them!

It really is amazing how time flies! My parents used to say it all the time and I never realized how true that is until Carter came into my life, our lives :) We went to visit Tara, Blake, & baby Kaiden in the hospital the day after he was born (11.18) and when I held him in my arms it took me back to just a few months ago when my little boy was that small! I already feel like he is growing up too fast!! One day he will read this and probably think its corny, but thats ok. Mommy will continue to cherish every moment and take TONS of pictures because thats what mommies do, :))
