6th Month Birthday

Carter-

Happy 6 months Birthday! Funny story..this morning while taking these pictures, I attempted to recreate your sister's 6 month birthday post. In my memory, Maevy was pulling up on her crib. You've just started pulling up and are wobbly on your feet. So...pulling up didn't go that great.

And upon further research turns out Maevy wasn't so good at pulling up either, my hand is in every shot holding her up! (look right)

  

Back to our regular update...Fun facts for the month-

1. Still crazy cute...just this week, Daddy's co-worker mentioned how stinkin' cute you are. 

2. Still love your sister. Just today, I didn't even think Maevy did anything (I guess she shook your bouncer) and you just busted laughing. So funny..

3.  Milestone of the Month- 

You've pretty much mastered sitting by yourself. You will occasionally fall back, which results in lots of crying, but quickly recover when we sit you back up.

4. Still love the thumb which I forsee being an ongoing picture taking issue.

                                            

5. Hearing update- 

We actually had your first hearing test scheduled for today. It was cut short because even though you usually turn your head to sounds, you weren't turning your head on cue, instead you would look at the audiologist like she was talking. That was good, but didn't "count" as a true reading. So we will be going back in a couple months. Regardless, we still think you are doing well with the hearing aids and properly responding to sound.

6. Speech update-

Several friends in your class have had a virus; so we assumed when you were sent home Thursday afternoon with a fever, you also had this virus. Grandpa came in town for a visit early, and you spent most Friday and Saturday sleeping. We finally took you to the doctor on Sunday to rule out an ear infection. Turns out, you had an ear infection! So almost a week later, you are still not 100%. We've been hearing lots of b, g, and n sounds, but you didn't vocalize a lot during your session today. No need to worry, we'll just follow-up in a month or so. 

7. New this month-

Mommy's not much of a singer, but you've been loving my- "Row, Row, Row your Boat" and "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". If you are fussing for whatever reason, and I start singing this song, you calm down. I love that you are listening and love my singing. :)

Around the corner....Halloween and more pulling up!

Love you, 

Momma
