Carson at 5 months

 Oh Mr. Cars-a-roni.... We cannot believe you are 5 months old.  You are a light in our lives and we cannot remember how life was without you.  Here are some things you are doing this month:

This month you were able to start baby cereal.  The first night you had it was on August 7th.  You have only had rice cereal and you seem to really like it.  You did so well with it and seemed to like eating so much that we also started you on baby food this month, on August 15th.  The first kind you had was squash, which you liked fine.  You have now had squash, bananas, carrots, peaches, and apples.  You are a bit hesitant with peaches but still eat it.  You eat some baby food and cereal now every night before going to bed.  




You have gotten a little bit better at sleeping but still not great.  You still fight us like crazy to go to sleep but are doing better once you are actually in your bed.  You still wake up about 3 to 4 nights a week just to be soothed a bit but then go back to sleep.  It has helped that you have started sucking you fingers when you are sleeping because you are able to soothe yourself better.  You suck either the middle and ring fingers or the ring finger and pinkie.  It is pretty precious.


When Grandma babysits, this is how Carson takes naps.

You also like to suck on your big toe.  Thankfully, you don't do that while you are sleeping (that would be a bit weird) but you love to lay on the floor or sit in your highchair and suck on your big toe.  It is pretty funny.


You love to babble and coo.  You love when someone will talk to you and you just talk right back.  You don't giggle too much but when you do, it is one of the sweetest sounds!  One way to get you to giggle is to tickle your tummy and sides.  You are VERY ticklish!



You are a very content, happy, and smiley baby.  We get many comments about how good of a baby you are and Mom and Dad always have to agree.  You are a pretty special little boy.
