His First Highchair!
Thank you, Grandma Sheri!
5 Months[ish] and Growing!
Yes, we're a bit late with this one, but oh well!
THe last month (and a week) has been filled with lots of firsts and new developments.
1) When getting out of his Carseat, Carter now arches his back in anticipation of your hands going underneath him.
2) Carter started his journey to solid foods. Right now he's only eating rice cereal, and even that's only once every other day. What started off as a rough experience, turned into effortless eating. He even makes little slurping noises when sucking the rice off of the spoon!
3) He discovered that he can stick out his tongue and make raspberry noises.
4) He still hates tummy time, but it's paying off! He's been developing the core strength to roll over onto his side, which adds yet another layer of difficulty to diaper changes :-(.
5) He can sit up with little to no assistance!
Santa's little helper!
Polar Express 2015
The Young family has taken the journey on the Polar Express for three consecutive years, and our passenger list has grown for three consecutive years. However, this might be the first year that no one was pregnant during the train ride. (Maybe there isn't something special about the hot chocolate!) This year's tradition was started with dinner before making a mad dash for the train - thankfully no one was left behind.
If you've never been on the Polar Express, it's fun-filled trip to the North Pole where we get to see Santa's elves, reindeer, and workshop. We sing songs, eat cookies, and even showoff our best PJs. As if those weren't incentive enough, Santa makes a very special visit to the train to see the kiddies! In case you were wondering, Santa is indeed a Browns fan :).
Black Friday!
While everyone was out saving money, we stayed home and actually saved money by not spending it. Another wonderfully earned day of naps for Carter, and movie time for mom and dad while Grandma Sheri provided babysitting.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Carter's first Thanksgiving came and went with a blink of the eye. It started with a lazy morning filled with tummy time, naps, bath time, and ended with dinner at Grandma Sheri's.
Not to be left out, Carter brought his own solid food with him to dinner. This time was a much better success than the last time. After a messy beginner, Carter was able to open his mouth with anticipation, and even sucked the rice cereal off his little spoon!
