Well, Carter survived his first Thanksgiving! He visited with the Gann family early in the day, and then came to see the Myers/Alexander's for the afternoon. His last weight check was 9 lbs, 4 oz!! He is just growing like a weed! He has begun to smile on purpose, and is starting to coo some. He is becoming more vocal when things aren't like he wants them - I wouldn't call it a cry - more of a yell! He lets you know when he's mad! He has had several nights that he has slept for 6 hours or more. All good signs of growing and maturing. He is quickly outgrowing his clothes. He wore newborn for a good while, and the 0-3 months size are now starting to be too short! He is holding his head up for longer periods. Maybe by Christmas he will be able to sit in a bumbo seat. We are all so excited for him to experience his first Christmas. I said I wasn't even going to buy a bunch of toys because he doesn't know it's Christmas, but you know how that goes. One trip down the baby toy aisle and I had several things tossed into my cart! His daddy says he is already spoiled, but isn't that what we are supposed to do?! He is not a big fan of the bounce seat or anything really, that involves not being held! The doctor says by the time he is around 6 months, it will be OK to let him fuss a little and try to soothe himself, but for now, the spoiling continues!
