Sleeping on his Belly AND Talking (Yelling)

This week Karter started to sleep on his tummy. He is sleeping a little better - but is having some trouble getting back on to his back.

He recently found his voice and is talking or should I say yelling!

Teething and ROLLING

I think he is teething... always sucking his fingers, fist or just about anything he can get in his mouth

Just waking up and so serious...

Last night I had 4 generations sleeping at my house. Craig was in Cambridge so Karter's Bubby 1 and 2 slept over! We had a great time - I made a fire (and was pretty impressed with myself I must say) and we order dinner in My dad and brother joined us!

Karter rolled from his belly to his back on Wed Nov 26th and rolled from his back to his belly yesterday for the first time!!

Belly Laughs!

Just when you thoughts things were going just as planned..

THINGS CHANGE. My last blog entry I said Karter was putting himself to sleep. Well that lasted about 3 days. We started sleep training and are Ferberizing him. The first night went a lot better than I anticipated. The longest bout was an hour from 2:30 to 3:30 the first night. He only cried 3 mins for his morning nap. I will keep you posted on his progress but for now I am a happy mom. Thank you Maslowsky's, Kollarus's, Melly, Today, and Sarah for all your support! I couldn't have done it without you.

Craig and I went to Monica's wedding Sat night and we had a blast! Karter stayed with Grandpa Joe and Nana. Aunt Sandy and Mare got to meet Karter for the first time.

Rice Cereal - So Good!

Milestones

Last week Karter started to grab and reach for his toys. He's been "talking" more and more lately and squeals in delight and excitement.

He'll only sleep in his crib during nap time (no more swing naps!) and is finally on a set schedule which gives me almost 6 hours of sleep!

All my parenting bookstalk about how important it is for babies to put them self to sleep - meaning put them in their crib while they're still awake and they should be able to fall asleep on their own without rocking, bouncing or patting. I never thought Karter would be able to... BUT just recently he has been!!

Lionel Loves His Brother

I grabbed the camera because my boys were playing so nicely together. Karter was doing tummy time and Lionel was doing what he does best - pulling the stuffing out of the animal. All of a sudden Lionel couldn't resist licking the drool running down Karter's mouth. Check out Bubby in the background saving her grandson from Lionel kisses.

My BIG Boy

Here is what my weekly email said about - Week 13 of Your Baby's Development

"At three months old, babies usually range from 22 inches long and 9.75 pounds (10th percentile) to 24.5 inches long and 14 pounds (90th percentile). "

Karter weighs 15 pounds and 11 onces and is 26.5 inches long - OFF THE CHARTS!!

Here is Karter with Carolyn on Sunday Oct 12. Check out how long he is...
