5 MONTHS OLD!!

We decided to wait until Carson was 5 months old prior to introducing solid foods beyond rice cereal...his first attempt was AVOCADO! It did not go over so well...

 

This morning, we added just a little bit of Avocado to some rice cereal and he liked that much better....

Daddy's Home!

Ryan finally made it home from China...we have a tired Daddy and a tired baby!!

Who Do I Look Like...Mommy or Daddy?

Ryan is off in China with our digital camera...therefore I am unable to give you any new pics...so to pass the time, enjoy these "Carson Look Alikes" of Mommy and Daddy!

So what's the verdict? Who does he look like now?

P.S....on March 6th...Carson rolled over from stomach to back for the first time!

Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful Boy(s)...

Baby in Camo...only in NH!

New Highchair!

I love to sleep with my head covered...

(Don't worry...we don't actually let him stay that way!)

4 Months Old!

Carson turned 4 months old on February 26th! Time flies! We learned at his 4 month check up that he is 12 lbs 14 oz (13 lbs with a full diaper!!) and 24 inches long. We are excited to add this height onto his growth chart, as it starts at 2 ft tall! Both measurements put Carson in the 15th percentile - still a peanut, but up from the 10th percentile!

Carson has been drinking a few tablespoons of rice cereal in his expressed breast milk bottles since he was about 6 weeks old - this is thought to prevent acid reflux and excessive amounts of spit up. Since he is now 4 months old, his pediatrician suggested that he can now enjoy rice cereal like a big boy! So we have begun giving it to him with a spoon - a talent he has yet to master!

We hope you enjoy his first solid food experience as much as Chomper did!

Already trying to feed himself...

Although Chomper tried her best to clean up...

it was off to the bathtub Carson went!
