The past few weeks have been busy for us as a family! I finished up the taping of the documentary that I will be a part of a couple weeks ago. For those of you who don't know about it, UWTV is doing a spotlight on the cardiology clinic that I attend, and they wanted to highlight one patient which happened to be me! I'm not sure why my cardiologist recommended me, but it was pretty fun to do. They interviewed me at our apartment, took some film of us playing as a family, and then did some footage of me chatting with my cardiologist. It should air sometime around July, so I'll let everyone know when it's on!
Carter has been growing by leaps and bounds! I've been a little worried that he hasn't been trying to speak or babble at all, but just grunts most of the time. However, he's officially started babbling, saying mamama and dadada and bababa and a mixture of other interesting sounds and consonants. He also took his first steps last night! I think it'll still be a while before he's walking around on his own, but he's definitely on his way!
My pregnancy is going pretty well, too. I'm still throwing up every day but have gotten a lot of my energy back which makes a big difference. I've felt this baby kicking since 15 weeks (with Carter it was 19 1/2!!! big difference!!) and he's incredibly active all the time. I did develop an umbilical hernia (like what Cohen and Carter both had when they were little) and apparently can expect it to get worse throughout my pregnancy. Apparently it's pretty common, though, and since mine is a little left of my belly button it's not sticking out or anything, yet. I also recently found out my OB is leaving so I've been incredibly bummed about that! She's one of the best if not THE best doctor I've ever had, so I'm determined to figure out a way to follow her, but we'll see.
Otherwise things are going really well for us! We're looking forward to Carter's first birthday in a couple weeks and will be sure to do another posting then!

We kept Carter in his baby tub for waaaay too long!
Such a bad sign...
Mmmm...Cheerios...
First time having a peanut butter sandwich...he kept shoving it into his mouth he loved it so much but then couldn't chew and swallow the mass!
After-bath hair
We finally broke down and put Carter in the big boy tub. He loves it!
Videos! The first is of Carter "talking", and the second is of him taking some of his first steps!
