Happy Half Birthday Carter!

This is my little man waking up on his first half birthday. All day today I have been trying to replay the day of his birth in my head. I don't want to forget any of it, but my how my mind fades over time! He is so precious right now! It's hard to believe that 6 months ago, I was holding beautiful, helpless 7 pound 8 ounce baby in my arms, and in 6 more months I will be chasing a 20 plus pound baby around. I am going to try to treasure the next half of a year! Now, I am going to copy an idea that I saw on Erica's site. So, here are 6 things I love about my 6 month old! 1. He has the best wrinkly nose smile. He flashes it to everyone, everywhere he goes! He is always making the room light up wherever we go!

2. He loves his family. You should see his face light up when he sees his daddy when he comes home from work. He also loves his Uncles, Aunt, puppies, and grandparents. He is very loved!

3. He's a great sleeper. Since he has been born, he has pretty much slept through the night. He also takes great naps, and sometimes lets me rock him to sleep. I love to go in at night and watch him sleeping so peacefully, though he does take after him mom, and moves all over the bed at night.

4. He's become a mama's boy! He reaches for me when he sees meand, and has even started crying when I leave the room. I know at some point this will get old, but for now, it makes me feel special.

5. He is very cuddly. He has started putting his head down on my shoulder, hugging me.

6. He is adorable! He has cute reddish hair that sticks up all over his head! He has pretty, long eyelashes and a cute button nose. He has chubby thighs and a heart metling smile. He is more than I could have dreamed of, and trust me, I dreamed of him for a long time!

For Carter's half birthday we went to lunch with Auntie Jessica at La Madeleine. Carter got to eat bread, and got lots of attention!

Carter and mommy. Don't I look young here! We had just been to the gym I got a piece of cake to celebrate. Carter grabbed the chocolate off the top before I could get a picture!

c yummy!

Since Carter was six months I decided that I should start giving him baby food. I have been really bad about it. It may sound weird, but I just haven't wanted to give up being his main sourse of nourishment. Well, I tried to give him sweet potatoes, but he was no interested AT ALL! Uh-oh, I will have to try again tomorrow!
