Carter Update

In the last few days, Carter has started seeing and watching more things. We have a little mobile above his changing table that has a mirror and a lions head and legs hanging down. When we're changing Carter, he has started looking at the mobile on his own. We had been able to make him glance at it before when we moved one of the lion's feet that has a bell in it, but now Carter is looking at it all on his own.


Carter is also paying more attention to the characters that hang above his bouncer. He doesn't purposely reach out for them yet, but he'll hit the snail and turtle often when he's throwing his arms around.

We're still working on managing Carter's acid reflux. His one month check up is tomorrow so hopefully we'll get some more advice from the pediatrician. He has some good days and some bad days. Even when we do things the same during and after feedings, Carter doesn't always react the same way. But we're trying different things and trying to be consistent while testing them out. We're having the most trouble with nights right now. Because we can only slightly incline Carter's playard, he ends up throwing up a good portion of each night feeding no matter how long I hold him upright. He's waking up and getting fussy about every two hours, and I'm guessing he's hungry because he's not keeping much down. Since I have to hold him upright for so long after a feeding and because he still doesn't go right to sleep when I put him down, there isn't much time to sleep between feedings - maybe an hour.
