Our little man starts his fourth month today, yet he's acting a bit older than his age! Carter is a baby on the go, and is happiest when standing on his (wobbly) legs, which he can even use to take steps (stomps) forward with the help of one of his parents holding him up. If he's not standing up, he wants to be sitting up, and although he doesn't have the ab muscles to remain steady, he loves being propped against pillows or a sturdy seat to check out the world from an upright position.
"The Carter Show" has also been expanding, with coos starting in consonants; G's are his favorite sounds, and if he's reclined in his vibrating seat while performing, he must be strapped in so that he doesn't launch himself out of the seat!
Because of his love of being upright, (and the utter exhaustion of Mom and Dad's biceps from constantly holding up a 15+ lb baby) this week a dutiful Daddy constructed his son's bouncy seat activity area and was rewarded with 30 seconds solid of belly laughs the first time we placed him in the bucket seat and swiveled him around. We actually captured the whole event on camcorder, although we haven't quite figured out how to upload the footage. Stay tuned.
What a wonderful month it has been!
