Not Quite Crawling...
So as previously mentioned...Carson is quite content sitting on his little tush all day long...however, today we got this cute shot of someone chasing after Chomper!
He may not have made any forward
movement...but it was still progress!

Growing up SO FAST!
We can't believe how many developmental milestones Carson is hitting so quickly! He now sits up on his own no problem, has started to drink out of a sippy cup, and can stand up by holding on to something. He much prefers solid food over bottles, which sometimes causes a quite the power struggle, just ask his teachers at daycare! He has always been a little guy, but has been growing at record speed! He now weighs over 18 lbs, triple his birth weight!
More milestones yet to come....no teeth yet...but plenty of drooling and teething! He shows minimal signs of wanting to crawl despite many of his other baby friends taking the plunge...maybe he will be like his mommy and crawl at 13 months and walk at 17 :) Can't say I don't mind not having to chase him all over the place yet!
Here are some shots that display some of his cool new skills...and some other cute ones just for fun!
Big Boy!

Sitting up like a champ! We sometimes still put the boppy around him as he has fallen back a few times!
Best buds...Chomper loves cleaning up after his solid food meals!
So Handsome!
Sippy Cup Pro! Well....kind of!
Flat Head Update!
So Carson, as many Anti-SIDS generation babies do, has a flat head from sleeping on his back. (He usually sleeps from 7 PM to 7 AM!) Sometimes a baby's head can become so flat, that it requires corrective action with a helmet. We hoped to avoid this helmet at all costs because babies usually have to wear them for 22 out of 24 hours a day for 2-6 months!
Our pediatrician believed Carson was borderline for needing corrective action so she referred us to Boston Children's Hospital just to rule it out. We met with a neurologist last week, and he measured Carson to have 4 mm of "flatness". This was great news because to qualify for the helmet, you must have 8 mm of flatness! We were thrilled!
For now Carson can continue to work on "rounding" his head by sleeping on his side (and hopefully soon his stomach) and spending as much time playing upright as possible! Hopefully things will "pop out" eventually!
