We are doing much better now after a few weeks. So far I have made him sweet potatoes, peas, carrots and mashed banana and avocado. I have enjoyed making his baby food and I plan on introducing meat soon. It just sounds so gross to blend up hamburger! Kent has been great about feeding Carter at about 6pm while I make our dinner. It is fun to have Carter sitting up in his high chair and staring at us while we eat dinner. Here he is on our first attempt at the high chair.
Carter is definitely getting more curious. He is not rolling over, but he is making his way round and round the exersaucer daily. I love that he is remembering which buttons make noise, which toys move etc. He looks so darn cute in it as well!
For the first couple of months the nanny was giving Carter his bath during the daytime. I really missed doing this and I wanted to establish a nighttime routine. Plus, I wanted to dress him up in his bathrobe! Last night we had our first bath together based on the recommendation of some parent friends of ours. It was all great until I lifted Carter out of the tub and a giant green turd was hanging out of his toosh. Carter has become a little constipated from his solids and I was hoping the bath would help him go, but I wanted that to happen in the diaper, not the tub!
Mr. Carter Davis is now 5 1/2 months old. I honestly cannot believe it. I love him so much. I am so excited to see him, hold him and kiss his little cheeks. I love to read stories to him and play on the floor. My life is this little guy and I wouldn't want it any other way!
