5 1/2 Months

Can you believe it Carter is 5 1/2 months! The weeks just keep flying and our baby boy continues to amaze us everyday. He now has 3 teeth (all on the bottom) and Jordan and I are waiting for another one to come through any day now. Carter has been drooling like crazing and anything and everything he puts in his hands goes right up to his mouth.

We finally have a healthy household and hope to keep Carter healthy for awhile. Carter is so close to sitting up by himself and can for about 20 to 30 seconds by himself before he falls forward. I think he will have this mastered within the next couple of weeks. Daddy thinks he is going to be an early crawler and I would have to agree :)

Jordan's cousin Curt and his wife Cari and their children Lexi and Luke were in Minneapolis last weekend so they were able to meet Carter and we were able to hang out for awhile. We had a great time! (the first picture is of Luke, Cari, & Carter)

Grandma and Bompa Wiebler got back from Mexico this past Thursday and spent a couple of extra days with us. They got to spend Friday with Carter while Jordan and I worked and enjoyed every second. Carter definitely knows who is Grandma and Bompa are. We all went out on Friday night and celebrated my mom and my birthdays. We had a great dinner and it was so nice spending time with my them! Happy Birthday mom we love you!

We also started to try baby food last weekend... the pediatrician gave us the okay to start "orange" colored baby food. So we have tried sweet potatoes, carrots, and squash. Carter wasn't quite sure about it at first and still isn't so sure but he did enjoy the squash we gave him yesterday and didn't spit any out. We will continue to give him baby food and know that he will get the hang of it.

We are looking forward to Grandpa and Grandma Gorsh visitng in a couple of weeks and The Petersen family is also visiting us in March. We are going to be back in Davenport Easter weekend and are really looking forward to that since we have not been home since Christmas.

CONGRATS

I just wanted to say congratulations to our dear friends Mike and Angelina and Bryan and Jessica. Even though we have know for awhile... Mike and Angelina are expecting their first baby on 9/8/10 and Bryan and Jess are expecting in early August. We are so happy for both of these families and look forward to raising children together. I wonder who will be next :)

Can't wait to see you all this Summer!

4 1/2 Months

Carter is a little over 4 1/2 months! He is growing so fast. It has been another rough week in our house. Carter had his first trip to the ER on Wednesday night. He started running a fever & when his temp got to 103.9 I called the on call nurse & they told us we should head to the ER since he had RSV 2 weeks prior. We were there for about 4 hours & thank goodness nothing serious was wrong with him. He just caught another virus.

We actually had an appointment with the pediatrician on Thursday for his weight check so it worked out perfect just to double check him. They ran some more blood work, checked him for Influenza and Strep and everything came back fine. Some of the kids were out sick last week at daycare so we are pretty sure he picked this up from them. They started him on another antibiotic for the nasty cough that he has & his fever finally broke this morning. It just breaks my heart to see him sick and I hope this is his last illness for awhile. He really is a trooper and still a happy guy. We are taking it easy and plan on keeping Carter in a "bubble" so he can get better.

Jordan and I are doing ok despite everything that keeps getting thrown at us. But truly are blessed to have Carter as our son

Carter is so close to sitting up by himself & if you look close enough at the third picture you can see his two bottom teeth.
