Carter Boy is 6 months old

I can't believe Carter is 6 months old. That is half a year. I know, duh. But wow it's so fun to see him grow and learn new things. He can sit up all by himself. He loves pulling hair, playing with toys and books and making baby noises. He loves his Bumbo chair and grabbing anything he can get his hands on and then sticking it in his mouth. He is so fun to have around and always entertaining us.
Here are a few pictures of Carter over the last month..
Attempting to Eat Rice Cereal
Playing at the Lindon Pool with our friends Tess and Riley
Carter wanted Riley's fruit snacks because to him they would just be something fun to play with and put in his mouth, but Riley was not going to give up his treat to his little friend.
Carter with his crazy Hair
We took Carter to Seven Peaks Water Park last weekend, we had a lot of fun. He went around the lazy river in his baby float and he actually liked it.

In his first swimsuit, so adorable.
Carter got pretty wiped out from the Sun and crashed on the grass
More cute pics of Carter boys, he's sitting up so well now.

And playing with Daddy
We love you Baby Carter!

We had his Sixth Month Doctor Visit on Friday and these are his stats:

Weight 14.07 lbs - 3rd percentile
Height 25.5 inches - 16th percentile
Head Circumference 16.88 inches - 24th percentile

So, yes he is kinda small for his age. We are trying some new things to help him gain weight and we're going back to the doctors in 6 weeks to make sure he has gained. We'll keep attempting the formula, baby food, rice cereal, more frequent feedings, etc. and see if we can fatten this baby up!

Oh wow, he is getting soooo handsome! He looks so grown up! I can't wait for him and Hudson to play together!

Just read what I wrote and wanted to clarify... He has always been adorably handsome, haha. I just meant he's looking "little boy handsome" more and more instead of just "baby handsome." My bad. :)
