~~Carter~~28 Weeks~~

YOUR BABY is 28 WEEKS OLD

how they grow • Most babies can use a cup at this age, and many can feed themselves.

• Babies this age like to hear (and babble) things over and over. Repetition helps them learn about language.

• Thumb sucking begins anytime up to 3 months and, on average, peaks at 7 months. Most babies stop sucking their thumbs by 12 months.

Is that a fact? Your baby's skin has developed but still produces less melanine and oils than a 1-year-old's.

Carter and I went to the pediatrician last friday. Carter got his 6 month shots, and he cried on the 1st and 2nd shot but not the first. Carter is now 27 inches tall and 19 pounds. Dr Bauer said he wont get teeth for a couple months probably. bummer bc i thought they would be coming in a few weeks with the irritation carter has been dealing with. The dr said he could now drink juice but we have to dilute it. also he said carter is ready for stage 3 gerber foods. Carter is just a growing up so fast! We love him so much. The pictures above are from when we took him to Crooks Diary Farm in Independance Twp. He didnt know what to think of the cows. lol
