We left Carter for the first time last night. Brian's boss, his wife, and three kids came over last night to watch Carter while we went to dinner and did a little Christmas shopping. It was a little weird at first leaving him, and I was a little nervous having all the kids around him, but we both relaxed during dinner. I had my first beer and sushi since before I got pregnant and both were very good. We stayed out two and a half hours and were told that Carter did really good while we were gone. He got lots of attention and wasn't very fussy. Charlotte was really freaked out at first when everyone showed up, but I think she relaxed eventually as well and enjoyed getting some attention. So we all made it through Carter's first evening without us!
Carter is starting to smile now in response to things. He even let out a little coo while smiling at me yesterday.
Feeding Carter less seems to be helping some with his spitting up. There are still a few feedings a day when he's throwing up a lot, but it's getting even more manageable.
Carter is making up for his good night last night with a very fussy afternoon and evening so far. Hopefully he settles down enough to sleep some tonight!
