LIttle man turned 5 moths old yesterday. I can't believe it! He is still a tiny little thing weighing in at 10 lbs 11 oz. He seems so huge to us because we saw him when he was just over a pound, but for a 5 month old he is tiny. He hasn't made his way onto the charts just yet, but hopefully soon. He is such a good baby.
Here are some things about Carter to remember
-He has the prettiest blue eyes and dark eyelashes ever! I am obsessed.
-He has become quite the binki snob since we came home. If only he could figure out how to suck it right to keep it in on his own we would all be happier.
-He sleep 8-10 hours every night. I'm tellin' ya all newborns should come with a feeding tube that can give them continuos feeds during the night.
-He LOVES his brother! Seriously the cutest thing ever. If he is around he doesn't take his eyes off him.
-He is doing great weaning down on oxygen
-He hasn't been doing as great with his bottle. I am pretty sure feeding will be our biggest challenge. We meet with developmental next week and I am hoping we can get something done to help him out.
-Thanks to the nector we add to his milk he has the smelliest poop and toots ever! DEADLY!!
-He is wearing 3 month clothing
-He would be perfectly happy to lay on his tummy on the boppy all day long
-He loves to be carried around in the Bjorn
-He LOVES to go on walks outside. Sleeps the entire time usually.
-Got his feeding tube switched out to a mic-key button yesterday. Thank goodness we have almost ripped that thing out so many times.
-His cheeks continue to be the first thing people notice when they mention him.
We are absolutely smitten with this little guy. He sure is a lot of work, but we will gladly do whatever it takes to keep him happy and healthy. It still breaks my heart that he can't make any noise. I hate it when he cries it's the saddest thing you have ever seen. Not a day goes by that we don't thank our Heavenly Father for letting us keep him here with us. I still can't believe he is mine and that he is home. We are so blessed. Happy five months little guy!
