Carter, our healthy baby

Carter absolutely loves to stand! He is also clapping, which he thinks is pretty cute. He is still the sweetest little boy.... But, he is getting so active. He is army crawling everywhere. Occasionally he gets up on his hands and knees, but it is short lived. He is a great baby. He loves to eat and he is a pretty good sleeper.

In fact, he sleeps so well he recently gave us a little scare. He went to sleep for his nap about 10:30 AM last Sunday. Then he never really woke-up. It was the strangest thing. He would "wake-up" screaming and as soon as you picked him up or gave him a bottle he went right back to sleep. This continued all day. That evening we went to Marc's parents for dinner and Carla was really worried about Carter. We tried to wake him up by playing with him and giving him a bath, but he was too tired. To make a long story short... We ended up at Phoenix Children's Hospital where they ran blood work, CAT scan, spinal tap, etc and nothing. Everything was perfectly normal. They kept him for observation and about 7:30 the next morning he woke-up like nothing had happened. They released us about 2PM and we were all speechless.

I have tried really hard not to be frustrated about the enormous hospital bill when my baby was perfectly fine. It is a humbling experience to spend the night in a children's hospital. I will strive to never be ungrateful for or take for granted having healthy children.
