Carson was 4 months old July 30th, but we just had his wellness checkup this past Wednesday. Dr. O'Neill said he is just perfect, and of course we tend to agree. He is at such a fun age! He doesn't get fussy often anymore...he smiles and laughs all the time. We did have shots at the Dr. and that was not fun. Sydney had to close her eyes and ears so she wouldn't cry when Carson did. She is a tender heart when it comes to her little brother.
Weight: 15 lbs.
Height: 25 1/2 in.
Eating: 5-6 oz. every 3-4 hours, cereal and fruit for breakfast, a little veggie for lunch, and either cereal, veggie, or fruit for supper. We just started the baby food so we're still experimenting with a schedule. He is doing much better with the spoon.
Sleeping: goes to bed between 8:00-8:30 and sleeps until anywhere between 5:15 and 7:00.
Development: Smiling, laughing, and talking all the time, grabbing and holding toys, loves his exersaucer and bumbo, always wants to be sitting up right, sits up great with help, make a motor noise with his mouth, loves to see himself in the mirror.
Carson was 5 months old yesterday and he is getting so big. I can't believe that 5 months has already passed. He is doing very well with daycare since I've gone back to work. He smiles and laughs a lot and is very content. He is sleeping through the night and taking good naps. He has mastered eating with a spoon and loves sweet potatoes. He thinks Sydney is hilarious. He smiles when she simply walks into the room. He has rolled over from tummy to back and back to tummy. He is working on sitting up by himself. He always pulls up when you lay him back and can sit alone for a few seconds. I am not sure of his weight or length since we don't have a check up this month. He had his first "sickness" last week. Well, I don't really know if you can call it sickness, but a cold with a runny nose and low fever. This was a result of getting used to daycare I'm sure. He is at such a fun age and we are enjoying every minute of it.
