4 Months Old

I cannot believe it has already been 4 months since Carter joined our world. Maybe it's because of the holidays, but it has flown! I felt like I was relishing each moment of his sweet newborn-ness, but he has turned into a chunkier-by-the-day baby overnight it seems. He is such a sweetheart, and will flash his gummy grin with just a look from anyone. He is still a quite content little guy, and is easily soothed when he does get upset. He also still sleeps quite a bit, which amazes me. This month, he has become quite the drooler, and I'm sure we'll be seeing teeth before we know it. He loves to watch his brothers play. He loves to play patty-cake - in fact this brought out his first true giggle just this morning. He loves music and if I hold him while I'm singing, he sings too. It's hilarious. He's also quite the talker. He babbles much more than Carson or Caden, and might be the most talkative of the bunch in the future. Carter, you are such a joy in my world. I am so thankful that God has given you to us. Oh, and I know that you are itching to be able to run and play with your brothers, but if you could slow down a bit on the whole growing up thing, your mommy would really appreciate it!









I took these next two pictures while he was talking to me. He is so full of expression already, I can't wait to hear the words he has to say.
