Busy Boy
Here is what we have been up to the last month or so... keeping an eye on our busy boy! Carter is walking all over like a pro, with a few stumbles now and again. He rarely crawls. He likes getting into everything and when something gets taken away he throws a fit. We kind of think his fits are cute because he turns on the water works in less than a second. We try not to laugh at him though. Hard to imagine this sweet face upset? Well believe me, it happens.
Carter learned to fold his arms for prayer. He just started doing it about 3 weeks ago. He only does it when he wants to though. Sometimes he'll do it as soon as we fold our arms or other times he waits until half way through the prayer. Sometimes we catch him doing it randomly when he's walking around the house. It's always just for a few seconds though and then he's done. He always has the biggest smile on his face when he does it. Do you think he gets a positive reaction from us or something?! :)
Carter is very ticklish and loves playing with dad. He's gotten to be more of a daddy's boy the last month. He'll sit with Lance and play with him for a lot longer than he use to. He also says dad a lot now and doesn't say mom hardly at all.
Carter still loves his bath time. When he's done he'll let me know because he starts trying to climb out of the tub. He's doing a good job about staying sitting down and only needs occasional reminders to sit back down, which he almost always does.
It's funny watching him when he's gets two sippy cups. He has to have a hold on both and switches which one he drinks from. This boy loves his milk!
Big smiles. I was trying to get a picture of on of his first bruises from falling, it's on his forehead up by his hair. But you can't really see it. His first big falls that left bruises happened at sitters houses. They felt really bad but we just figured it was just the beginning. It has been! Carter has had many more scrapes and bruises since he's become more adventurous. The other day Lance and I found one on his forehead that we have no idea how he got.
Carter loves carrying things around, especially things that are almost the same size as him. One of his favorites is Lance's water jug from work. Note the tongue, that is almost always sticking out with Carter when he's thinking or working. I think there are people on both sides of are family with that trait. I catch myself doing it sometimes at work when I'm not thinking about it.
Carter still loves riding, sitting, climbing, on his car. He also loves pulling blankets from their designated spots and dragging them around with him.
Blanket, Carter and plastic lids he managed to squeeze past the baby locks on the drawers.
The past month he has mastered the art of climbing in things, we're still working on the getting out part which sometime ends with some tears when he falls. One of his favorites is this cooler Lance takes to work. I think I'm noticing a pattern....I think he loves his daddy and his daddy's things.
Laying down on the blanket, which he had pulled off the shelf moments before,
Again, laying on the blanket. This particular day he discovered his feet can make a great noise banging on the cupboard. He had so much fun and was proud of himself.
Close up shot because I just loved his smile!
Cute boy on the move!
