Month 6 was a big month for Carter. We got back from Costa Rica and then a week later headed to CA for two weeks. During our stay in CA, Carter began to be able to sit on his own for long periods of time. This is great for us because we can now play with him by handing him toys and watching him stuff things into his mouth.
Carter has also begun to "wiggle," where is shakes his head and whole body. He especially likes to do this when you are holding him and he's standing. It looks like he's dancing. It's super cute. He's also adopted a very loud shriek that he like to use when he's in his bouncing chair. We are trying to not encourage this, but we're not sure how successful we will be.
The other big news is that Carter has his first tooth coming in. It's on the bottom and we felt it just a couple of days ago. It's pretty sharp and it's broken the skin now. No wonder he was so drooly recently. I didn't seem to be too fussy about it though (although I don't want to jinx ourselves with the other teeth). He's also almost ready to feed himself. He can grab things and put them into his mouth, but his coordination still needs a little refinement. I can't wait to watch him eat on his own!
