Carter's 6 month Check up

On Monday, November 10th we went for Carter's 6 month check up. Everything was great and Carter was super silly for Dr. Langdon. He got several shots but handles it better each time.

6 months stats:
Weight: 20 lbs 11.5 oz--90-95%
Length: 27 inches--75%

Carter:
-can sit up unsupported
-now has 2 bottom teeth coming through...which has brought on diaper rash. :(
-LOVES, LOVES a bath...He loves to splash until he hits the drain and the water starts to drain out!
-started sleeping in his crib this month. Back when he started sleeping on his belly at 2 months, we decided he would sleep in our room until he was 6 months. This was more for peace for me so I could check on him as I felt the need.
-doesn't crawl yet...He gets on his hands and knees and rocks.
-has said Ma-Ma a few times as I was changing his diaper or in the morning when he wakes up (video coming soon!)
-has said Da-Da but not doesn't appear to be in reference to Aaron! :P
-loves his jumparooooooo...He goes crazy jumping in it!
-generally takes 3 naps...one that's about an hour in the morning, another around 1pm that lasts about 2-2.5 hours and then another 30-45 minute nap around/after dinner.
-used to go to be at 9pm...now its more like 8:15-8:30.
-generally sleep until 6-6:30am...I try to get him to go back to sleep in his crib but he prefers to snuggle in bed with me! :)
-gets upset if you put him in his highchair while you get a meal ready for him to eat. He is content if you hold him while doing all that!
-tries to lean into the sink while the water is running to get warm.
-has discovered the dogs and likes them (sorry mom!). He enjoys pulling on their ears and poking them in the eyes. They just eat up the attention.
-Transitioning out of 9 months clothes to 12 months here soon.
-went through several nights of wetting the bed. He was sleeping in size 3 cruisers and did well for a while and then we tried some 4's for bedtime and no luck. Changing and washing sheets everyday got annoying and early morning baths as well. He now sleeps in Huggies Overnights size 4. We had dry nights ever since we made the change.
-Wears size 3 diapers but we may be going up to 4's soon.
