Things you may not know about Carter

I realized I haven't written too many details about all the many things Carter has been doing lately so I dedicate this post to all of Carters latest achievements! The things Carter can do now are-crawl, pull him self up to ANYTHING, walk along the couch or crib, jabber, say da and dad and he's almost got mom figured out, find even the smallest crumb on the floor, and lead music. Some of Carter's favorite things to do are-play with cords (especially if he can find one that is plugged in) play in the dishwasher, empty all the drawers in the kitchen, help me do laundry ( his job is to empty the dryer), brush his teeth, take bathes, look at pictures ( he could be entertained for hours going from picture to picture pointing at all the people and saying da) he also likes to play with the radio it's been his favorite toy since he was five months old, he loves to play catch and get's so excited when he goes to throw the ball that sometimes he forget's to let go, he likes to just sit in his high chair and look out the window, everytime a car goes by he follows it with his eyes until it disapears. Carter is just barely starting to like a few solid foods. The foods that he likes include Oranges, pickles, beans, lucky charms, paper, crackers, cardboard, strings, and anything that he finds on the floor! He also loves water and perfers to drink it out of a glass not a sippy or bottle. A few things that Carter doesn't like are baby food, the sound of the vacume ( he cries everytime I vacume), he doesn't like it if I shower , read or if I'm on the computer while he is awake ( he thinks he should always have my undivided attention, just like his dad) he doesn't like having a bugar nose which makes it nice cause he let's me wipe his nose as much as I want! One funny thing about Carter that if you haven't met him then probably don't know is, he is very very serious when he is around a lot of "new" people. It doesn't matter how funny the person is the can sing and dance for him and he won't crack a smile! He just stares them down. It's really funny, he's been like that since day one. He's not a fan of big groups about four to six people is his max. When he get's comfortable with them he is lot's of fun. He will smile and giggle and do what ever it takes to get attention. He really likes younger kids even if he just barely meets them he usually gives them a smile. His favorite person is his uncle Nate. His uncles Spencer and Ben come in at a close second.

One last thing about Carter is that he is usually really happy. He hardly ever cries! If he does it never last's more than a minute or two. Every morning around 6:30 am I wake up to him just talking and squeling over the monitor "da da da da" it usually takes me atleast fifteen minutes to pull myself out of bed and go get him. Even though it's early it always puts a smile on my face when i walk in his room and see him just standing in his crib smiling away! He is so much fun. Sometimes it is hard to believe he is really my son, it's just to good to be true.
