Carter 6 Months

Obviously, I'm posting this way after Carter turned 6 months old. So most of this is from memory.  At his 6 month check up Carter weighed 17.5 lbs (50 %), was 24 1/4 inches tall (10 %), and his head was in the 40th percentile. My little munchkin is no longer perfectly proportional :( He's now a tank! I attribute this to eating 6 ounces with every bottle and getting a good helping of rice/oatmeal cereal. We've decided to make our own baby food and he seems to like it a lot.  He definitely loves pears and sweet potatoes. Now that he is eating pureed foods, we needed to get a high chair. We bought a used one from a family friend and I made a new cover for it.  Looks brand new and is pretty dang cute. He started to laugh a lot more this month. We look like idiots trying to get him to laugh but it's so worth the effort. Carter is getting more control of his hands and now loves to pull hair and noses. He also began making faces.  Pretty fun to watch him. Sitting is beginning to get more natural for him.  He still falls over a lot so we put pillows all around him to keep him safe.  This allows me to put him on the floor and play by himself. I can now get a few things done without his screaming for attention...yay!
