Carter can roll over like a champ now, although he doesn't do it very often. He prefers to just lay there. He loves to stand and can sit up all by himself. He tends to double over after a little bit cause he doesn't have the stomach muscles yet.
One thursday, when I had to go to work, I dropped Carter off with my parents. Once Ryan got there to pick him up my mom was playing with Carter, and she got him to laugh! Sure, the one day a week I'm not with him, he laughs. Luckily Ryan got it on camera so I got to see it. A few days later I got him to laugh while taking a bath.
Shots this month were no fun. It turned into an exhausting week. He was cranky all day when he got them, and had a fever the entire next day. He went from sleeping from 10-7 to waking up at least two or three times a night screaming. Wednesday we had to give him a suppository because he hadn't pooped in about a week, which also made him scream in the middle of the night. I had to send Ryan to Walmart at 3:30 AM to get the suppositories, but the didn't have any! Go figure! He ended up going to Harmons before he left for work the next morning. Luckily Carter fell back to sleep and could wait a little longer. When we actually did the suppository, he didn't even mind. Not even a flinch was made when I did it and he seemed very relieved after it was all done. Finally, my happy baby was back. For the rest of the week he had a sore throat from screaming for three days. Tylenol has become his best friend (and mine).
Fun little milestones this month include:
*double fisted finger sucking (both hands at once in the mouth)
*grabbing his toes (makes it hard to change the diapers)
*sitting all by himself
*baby pushups (if you sit close enough, he'll push of your leg)
*laughing (still a little stingy with them)
*plays in his crib when he wakes up instead of just crying (lets me sleep just a little longer)
This video is awesome. Carter learned how to blow raspberries.

| After the Mother's day incident of Carter puking in Ryan's mouth, I'm shocked he would still play with him like this. |
