9 and 10 weeks

Week 9 slipped past us and I cannot believe it is the beginning of Week 10. Carter is such a happy baby and smiles at everyone he sees. He is still very mellow and just loves being held and talked to. He HATES the car and cries the whole time you are driving unless he is already asleep when you put him in. He is figuring out how to use his hands and kicks his feet and smiles when he gets enough coordination to get his little fists into his mouth. He tries desperately to get his fingers in there to suck on. He has decided this week that he doesn't care for the pacifier anymore. I knew it was too good to be true. I hope to keep up to date on these weekly updates on Carter for the first year of his life and make them into a book for him when he turns one. I kept baby books for Connor and Jaxson but regret that I didn't keep a journal of their weekly developments. Connor fed Carter his first bottle this week and I was so proud of him for being so kind and talking to Carter while he was eating. He made sure to press all the air out of the bottle before giving it to him. Jaxson is still very concerned about where his little brother is at all times. If he is in his crib sleeping, Jaxson likes to peek in and make sure he is ok. We are all relishing this time with Carter that he is still so new and perfect.
