Happy 6 months!!

(sitting under Grandma Lynch's Christmas tree on 12/3)

Carson turned 6 months on Thursday! It is so hard to believe how much he has grown and changed in that amount of time. The past month he has learned how to sit up all on his own, he talks quite a bit around Kyle and I, and he wants to grab and play with everything as well as put it all in his mouth! He has also found a great love for FOOD! He absolutely lights up when you feed him oatmeal or any pureed food!

We went to the Dr. for his 6 month check-up on Friday.
He is now 27 inches long, 16 lbs and 14 oz, and his head circumference 43.4. He is above average in height, below average in weight, and average in head size. So he is still tall and skinny with an average head!
Everything looked great except the doctor discovered he has an ear infection. We didn't even know it, he had been acting pretty normal so we were really surprised to find that out. He believes it is from the cold he had a few weeks ago. Since we are leaving for Idaho in a few weeks we are hoping it heals quickly. The doctor is making us revisit him before we leave to make sure the infection is gone. He said he won't stop us from getting on the plane but if the infection is still there, it won't be good for little Carson. So let's pray the medicine works and we have a happy baby for the flight.
The doctor also saw his two front bottom teeth under the gums so hopefully they will pop any day now so the drooling gets under control!!

1st Thanksgiving

Love you all!
