Your biggest changes this month have been in the area of feeding. We have an appointment with Drs. Benjamin and Malcom this week at Duke and after that appointment, I'll share all that news. You still have 8 teeth, but two more are trying to pop through. At your last check-up with the Pediatrician, you weighed 19 lbs, 6 ounces and were 28.5 inches long. But, we weighed you today (at home) and you were 20.5 pounds. We'll see what the official Duke weigh-in is this week.
You are crawling all over the house and are so FAST! Your newest discovery are the doors and you love opening, closing, opening, closing... You have also discovered cause & effect and know that when you push buttons on your toys, they "react" by lighting up, playing songs, etc. You have discovered gravity and test it daily by dropping things from your chair. You're a master at feeding yourself and holding your sippy cup. We just plop you down, hand you the sippy, and you take care of the rest. You wave "bye-bye" and will give a high-five (intermittently). Just today you started saying (screaming) "nih-nih" and I finally figured out you wanted to go "night-night" because once I placed you in your crib for your nap, you went right to sleep.
You've also become very attached to something and like most kids, you refuse to nap or go night-night without this item. Your whole face lights up when you see it. But, unlike most kids, it's not a soft and cuddly animal or blankie. Nope, it's a book. And not just any old book (trust me, we've tried that trick & you just toss them out of the crib). But, it must be "Peek-A-Who" that accompanies you to bed. It's so cute because you grab it and "read" it to yourself, turning the pages, until you fall asleep with it tucked under your arm. We will be stocking up on extra copies of it!
Love you doodle bug.

Oh my word, he is so stinking cute!! Love him and you guys too, of course!! Praying that all goes well this week at Duke!! Miss you!
These are such good pictures, and what a wonderful little story about his night-night/naptime routine that involves the special book. You've probably got not only my mind's wheels a-turnin', but other moms' as well...as we think about what we can start putting our new babies to bed with that will be so much more pleasing to the eye if they have to drag it around or sleep with it for the rest of their lives (i.e., something other than a binkie or a lovey)...not that I don't like the binkie or the lovey...it's just that when you're hoping to get some peace and quiet while shopping...and the child needs something to soothe him...yours will take a liking to his "book"...whereas the rest of us are going to have kids with their binkies and lovey's in tow.
Good job Carter! We look forward to the update from your Duke visit. By the way...tell your mommy to look at FB--there is a picture of Davis with a Carolina T-shirt on. Temporary insanity could be the only explanation.
Lots of love!
The Cieszko Family.
