Bathtime!

Photos taken by Mum!

Photogenic much?

We're biased, we know...but what a good lookin' kid!

Carter now sitting up

The boys, sitting together and watching TV! Carter only just started sitting on his own over the last couple of weeks, but he's now a lot better - although he still does fall fairly often - most likely due to his gigantic, oversized head.

Carter's 6 month check-up

Happy healthy, and on track for having a massive head...which apparently we have to 'keep an eye on'...

Length - 70cm (75th %)
Weight - 8100g (just over the 50th %) (Linc was 7615g)
Head circumference - 46.5cm (97th %).

I personally think his head is very
much in proportion to his body: you be the judge...

PS - Linc is now 93.5cm tall which puts him just over the 90th %.

Update + the sleeping part III

Sleep. One of those things in life that, along with air, food, water and laughter, is pretty essential to getting through each day....

Linc is enjoying the new-found freedom of being in a bed he can get out of - most nights he gets out a half dozen times or more before he eventually falls asleep (one night last week it took 2 hours for him to stay in bed - and he even got yelled at).  And then he'll come in for a night-time visit to Mum and Dad at 4am...we then put him back in bed only for him to wake anywhere between 6am and 7am... Bring back the cot, I say... But he's turning into a beautiful little boy, with good manners, and a real active, go go go personality. His talking is improving every day and he can now count from 1 to 10 and point out the numbers which we think is VERY impressive! He also knows when we're having a joke with him - for example, when we show him a picture of himself and say "hey, look it's Carter" he shakes his head and laughs saying "noooo - Linc"...

Carter's sleep performance is...inconsistent...is a good description. He had an 8 hour sleep while Dad was away last week (all week... )-: ) but is only managing 5 hours lately and still takes a couple of attempts to fall asleep when he is put down at night. Apart from that he has really started to pile on the weight and is looking very healthy. He's due for his 6 month checkup tomorrow so that will be interesting!
