4 Months

Happy 4 Month (a little late) Birthday Carson!!!

C is so BIG i can't believe it. he is learning so much every day. especially now that he stays up more than ever---to the dismay of his mother! oh well. you can't make the kid sleep, might as well play.

last week he rolled over from tummy to back for the first 1st time. he's had a few more instances but has yet to let his mommy see it. carson loves to play with his toys. he lays in his crib and looks at all his animals on the mobile (heaven forbid he should ever sleep there!) no, c likes to play and play and growl. it's his new favorite game to play...he loves it when daddy will growl with him. at first he seems a bit scared but then the smiles & laughter come out.

now when i said big...i meant BIG. our doodle went to his doctor's appointment on monday and he is growing fine. real fine. he is in the 95th percentile for weight and 90th for height. his little head is in the 50th. love it! perfect child really. big headed babies are great and all but i'm pleased with his normal size!

you would think that if the kid weighs so much he just might sleep through the night. um, NO! the best he has done in the last month is 4 hour blocks and that my friends is rare. usually i am graced with a carson interruption every 2 hours. ah, motherhood. no, he doesn't eat every time but the stinker can't seem to self soothe. (no advice please) i know what i could do...what i will eventually do. but in the mean time the crying will have to wait. wait til he is out of mom & dad's room so they don't have to hear it. yes, we are working this minor kink out

and since i have no pictures on this computer, i will close with the stats and post my son's face another time.
