Carter @ 3 Months

I cannot believe my little baby is 3 months old today! I feel like I have been his Mommy for so long and yet its going by so fast. He is probably the happiest little baby ever. A little about his development:

• He pretty much follows us everywhere with his eyes. His favorite person to follow is Mavrick. I will prop him on the sofa and he will just follow Mavrick with his eyes and smile and coo. Its so cute. 
• He is about 14 lbs 8 oz and 24 inches long and a complete chunk! I love it. His thighs are so squishy and cute. 
• Carter loves attention. He doesn't crave it but when he gets some his eyes just light right up and he rewards you with smiles, coos, and lots of excited movements. 
• He is rolling over. Kinda. He rolled over about 2 weeks ago about 8 times in a row and since then has only done it once or twice.
• He is teething I think. Mav never really teethed but this little guy is drooling like crazy and his chubby little hands are always clasped together and in his mouth. Luckily he is not fussy though.
• He loves to stick out his tongue and mimic you sticking out yours.
• He coos when you talk to him. Its the cutest thing ever!
• He still sleeps about 7 hours through the night which makes for one happy Momma! He sleeps in his crib for the most part but sometimes ends up with me. I don't mind too much though. I know it won't last forever so we are enjoying it while he is little. 
• He loves his brother Mav (except when Mav pinches his cheeks too hard) and Mav will put his arm around him and Carter will start smiling and cooing. Sibling love, even at a young age, might be the best thing a Mom can witness. =)
• He likes - not loves - tummy time.
• He sometimes sleeps on his tummy, especially when someone is holding him.
• He is sitting up really well. He is arching his back and can hold his head up on his own now. So I think he will start sitting up in the next month or so. Santa is bringing him a "BebePod" for Christmas. He loves it already.
• He eats every 3 to 3 1/2 hours still and takes about 5 naps a day.
• His wake time is from about 8 - 10:30 which is his pretty long stretch but we like it cause its right after Mav USUALLY goes to bed so we get some one on one time with our little Carter.

All in all this baby couldn't make us any happier. Besides blowing out and not being very good at holding the pacifire in his mouth we have no complaints. Here are some pictures of the little guy and since I missed his 2 month post the first few are of that.
