6 months

Carter was 6 months old on the 12th and I can't believe how quick this time is going! It seems like just a few days ago we brought him home and now he's starting to sit on his own, he eats 5-6 cans of solid food plus rice cereal a day. I also started giving him waffles, fruit bars and baby rounds and he's doing awesome with them! He rolls over back to belly like a pro...actually too well, he can't flip over the other way that well so some nights he'll wake up and just need to be flipped over :-) On that note, he's sleeping great! To bed by 8:30 or 9 and wakes up between 7 and 8. He is just such a great baby; only really fussy when he's tired or hungry but as always, LOVES being held or just around people. He is about to move to the size 4 diapers and is in 6-9 month clothes.
Here are his stats from the doctor's visit:
Height: 28 1/2 in. 95th percentile
Weight: 20.13 lbs 95 th percentile
Head: 17 1/2 in. 75th percentile
She said he's around the size of a 9 month old and is doing good. He's able to pass objects hand to hand and his eating for his size is perfect.

Trent has been the best big brother ever! They have been taking baths together now for about a month and Trent loves the company and play time. Every night he ask to for Carter in is bath :-) He of course still gets jealous here and there but overall loves him brother and being around him. He brings him toys, plays with him in the car and likes feeding him too. Trent is about to start his a mother's day out program and didn't want to go once he found out Carter won't be there with him. We got his backpack, nap mat and lunch box so he's getting more excited now.
