Month 10 - Week 2

Carter started off the week celebrating the 1st birthday of his pal Julian.

It was a gorgeous day out and we had a blast celebrating. Carter will be turning one before we know it!

Here are some pics of what Carter was up to this week. He spent a lot of time crawling after his sisters.

He even got dad in on the fun with him.

But soon it turned into kids against dad...

Carter loves watching his sisters play. He follows them around and laughs at any noise they make.He also loves to imitate them. He rubs his head on the ground and against us just like the dogs.He also likes to grab their toys and carry them around when mom and dad aren't watching.

As for his eating habits, Carter has found a new obsession: Gerber lil Crunchies. With his two top teeth in, he loves biting them. The kid could eat an entire carton at a sitting if we would let him. He knows what the container looks like and knows how to work mom to get what he wants...He takes his crunchie eating very seriously.

We got a weekly parenting email that gave 5 personality types of babies. Carter qualified as an "Active" baby hands down! I think these pics demonstrate our diagnosis. Here is Carter going down the steps. He is great at going up but the down needs some work!

Playing with balloons...

and walking with Dino (his new favorite activity).

Other than that, Carter is anxiously awaiting the updates to our backyard so he can go out and play with his sisters (like the Jean diapers?).

While waiting to play outside, Carter has really been enjoying his new playroom. Here is Uncle Reid teaching him to play the drums.

And here he is picking a book off the shelf. His favorites are the ones with Baby Faces.

But sometimes playtime gets old and Carter wants out!

What a fun week with baby Carter!
