Christmas Wrap-up

Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Our first Christmas with Carter was pretty laid back. We helped him open his presents Christmas morning. Thanks everyone for all your generous gifts. Some things that Carter got this year included lots of clothes, some new toys, several fun books, baby DVDs/CDs, very cute shoes, and a homemade hat. After opening presents, Mike and I enjoyed some seriously delicious french toast for breakfast. See Flickr for some pics.

Today Carter had his 4-month doctor visit. We had a second round of vaccinations resulting in a high-pitch scream I thought would shatter glass. But after a minute or so in Mike's arms, he calmed down to a quiet hiccuping sniffle. Then once we got home, it was as if nothing had happened. What a trooper! For those keeping track of his growth, he is 26.75 inches long (96%), 15 lb 3 oz (58%), and his head circumference is 44 cm (90%). So basically he's long and lean with a big head for his age. He's growing so fast! At 4 months old, he's just barely fitting into his 3-6 month clothes. Soon we'll have to switch over to 6-12 month clothes. We have another doctor visit at 6 months and around that time we'll be giving solid food a try. Oh, Carter got a new highchair too (thanks Grandma Lily!).

Have a great New Year everyone!
