2 Months

Carter is 2 months old! We had Carter's 2 month check up last week & he is growing like a weed he weighs 13 lbs & is now 23 1/2 inches. He has pretty much out grown all of his 0-3 month clothes & even some of his 3 month clothes & has officially started wearing his 3-6 month outfits. He now has a whole new wardrobe & I am having fun picking out outfits everyday :) He also received 5 shots at his appointment & was a trooper (I cried more than he did). The doctor said he is right on track where he needs to be & keep up what we are doing.

This past weekend Grandma & Grandpa Gorsh & Aunt Brenda came up for a visit. We hung out at the house for the most part but we ventured out to the Mall of America for a couple of hours Friday afternoon (which Carter slept the whole time) & we even were able to go out to dinner on Friday night. It was so nice having them!

We are looking forward to being back in Davenport next week for Thanksgiving. We hope to see as many of our friends & family as we can.

7 Weeks

Carter is 7 weeks old. It is amazing how fast the past 7 weeks have gone & how much he is growing. We enjoyed Carter's first Halloween (as much as a 6 week old can enjoy :) Carter went as a monkey & helped us pass out candy. I know next year he will really enjoy Halloween & will be running around the neighborhood for candy.

We enjoyed having Grandma Wiebler stay with us the past couple of days & helping us with Carter. I personally really enjoyed the company & was even able to get a long over due hair cut. We also went to my office & introduced Carter to everyone & even got some shopping in.

We are still working on bottle feeding with Carter. We know that he will take a bottle if he has to but it really is a struggle & a lot of hard work & patience is needed for the person giving him the bottle. But we will continue to try and just hope that he quits being so stubborn. It is crazy how a 7 week old already has such a strong willed personality.
