Christmas Time

Carter playing with some toys from his Grandma and Grandpa W and a vest that was superbly made by Auntie Heather. Carter wasn't into Christmas too much this year as was expected. However, he was a bit more interested in opening his presents than I thought (even though this was very minor).

Carter's seventh month of life held more smiles (as always) and a love of food. At first he wasn't too keen on eating but now he gobbles his food down. I am always surprised at how much he can eat sometimes. I just started giving him some pureed fruit and he just loves that (I don't blame him after always getting cereal and vegetables).

Carter was also quite sick this December. After his six month shots at the beginning of the month he came down with a fever and then proceeded to get a bad cold (along with an ear infection and eye infection), which he later passed on to both Brad and I. We have now just ended that sickness (it seemed like it lasted forever). Tomorrow Carter has a doctor's appointment to see if the fluid is still in his ears (which I think it is because he is still pulling them). Then in the middle of January we are off to the pediatric eye doctor to get Carter's eye checked out. You can usually tell in pictures that his left eye turns in a bit. It isn't like that all the time but you can definitely tell that something is not quite normal. Anyways, we are not sure where the ear and eye thing will go, but we are hoping that it isn't too serious. That is about all the news for this month I think so on to the pictures.

Carter sporting his new do-rag(this is really how you spell it. I looked it up.) for motorcycling when he is older. He is also sporting Grandpa's glasses. We always have fun taking funny pictures of Carter and he is such a good sport about it.

My family (sorry that the picture is kinda dark).

This is my Grandma and the great grandchildren. Of course with so many little ones it is hard to have everyone happy and looking at the camera. Apparently Caleb was the only one that wasn't too happy with everything. However, we still made him be in the picture for a minute.

Another funny picture of Carter. We decided to put his socks on his ears. I'm not sure how be came to doing this but I am sure it was Joel's idea seeing as he is holding Carter.

The cousins having their first bath together. At least they are both happy. However, right after this picture Ayla screamed for the rest of her bath and Carter decided to sympathize and cry as well. Not as fun.
