12 week old looks like a ................

5 MONTH old according to the doctor today :)

We went to the doctor this morning because Bug is sick. He has his first cold. Runny, stuff nose and a cough. We all can thank Daddy for bringing home this wonderful cold and passing it out to Momma and Carter. Although so far I think Carter is handling it better than Momma! I hate being sick and am the worst sick person. Carter on the other hand is still his smiley self. The doctor (saw a new doc today because ours doesn't work on Tuesdays) walks in and looks at him and says "Wow, you're a big 12 week old! You look like a 5 month old!" Carter flashes her a big gummy baby smile. Gotta love my little horse.

FIFTEEN POUNDS, FIVE OUNCES !!


Crazy right?!

So the cold went from Joe, to me, then to Carter. And I do have to mention that while Joe did bring home the crap he has really stepped it up and been an awesome daddy and husband while I moan and complain about being sick. :) I fully admit I am a terrible sick person and probably pretty annoying to be around, but Joe hasn't complained once and has taken over 95% of Carter's care in an effort to keep the cold from Carter and let me get better. He may leave socks laying around in the most random places - like under the table or on the paper shredder (no joke!) - but I'll take socks on the paper shredder any day for a husband who jumps right in and doesn't ever complain (seriously never complains) and a daddy that loves his son so completely it melts my heart.
