Approaching 4 months...

The new and improved (thanks, Carter!) Tabony family has had another great week...




I scouted out a small farmers market near uptown Charlotte where I thought Hunter and Carter would have fun taking the excess supplies from our garden to sell on Tuesday afternoons. I was so proud of them for giving it a try and having huge success (of course, having an adorable baby on your table draws in the crowds!) They were working so hard during the 3 hour market, that we didn't get any pictures but hopefully next week....




Baby routines are constantly changing and evolving, but this week, I've been bringing Carter into bed with me after his 6-7am feeding and we'll sleep next to each other until around 9am - I cherish those mornings! His other morning routine is spending time in the Jumperoo as soon as we are dressed and bathed. It really seems like he starts getting his legs going in anticipation as we walk down the stairs!


His hand control continues to improve and impress and he is spending a lot of time gnawing on his fist and fingers. He hasn't found his thumb yet, but I don't think that is too far away.


Physically he continues to change, too. He is beginning to get some hair back - it is looking like fine peach fuzz all over his head - maybe that is why this is the first week that someone mistook him for a girl?!








We are still waiting for the laughing to come on strong - right now, it is only about 1-2 times a day. The biggest laughs tend to come when he is naked (he is already such a boy!), but also when we are dancing, and when Pogo is jumping or active. We're still working on the laughing video....


Carter's grip is STRONG! He'll hold on tight whether it is to your arm, finger (or hair!) I like this picture because it looks like Carter is controlling Hunter's arm with his grip.

















He is getting good at swinging his body from side to side, and seems to prefer sleeping on his side like mom...
