Shrimp

I lurve SHRIMP. For real, it is one of my favs. Maybe that explains why I love Carson so much...cause he is our little shrimp! We had his 6 month appointment today and he weighs 14.4 lbs(5th%) and is 26"(30%). The DR did not seem too concerned, but she told me to feed him up to 3 solid meals/day, add olive oil to most things for more calories, and start him on meat for the protein. Apparently, my milk supply sucks (no pun intended). I feel a little bad knowing that he maybe isn't getting all he needs from me, but at the same time he seems like a really happy and content baby, so he may just be small. Who knows.

Hey may be lacking in the weight department, but he definitely isn't lacking in the cute and personality department. This kid is hilarious. He loves to rough house and get tossed up in the air, so much so that sometimes he tosses his cookies. He loves to be outside. He loves to socialize with anyone and everyone. Think how you would describe sheer JOY and that is Carson. He is soo much fun. AND, things are about to get a lot more interesting around here because he loves his hands and knees. Once the crawling starts, I have a feeling I won't be sitting still.

I have to admit, the thing I am most proud of is that he can do the plank... Momma ain't a personal trainer for nothin'! We have him on two-a-days already!

Not much else is going on around the O'Neill house. I wish we had more to report, but the weather has kept us inside and low key most days. We are anticipating warm days {I'll even take 75 degrees and sunny at this point} and cannot wait until we can return to our R&R schedule of daily pool visits. Until then, I'll continue occupying myself by sewing and reading andfeelingsorryformyself. Oh, did I say that? Yeah, I need to buck up.
