11 Months (2 days ago)

Already?!?! Why does the "baby" seem to grow the fastest? He is the one I wanted to stay little the longest. But in only 1 short month Carter is going to have his first birthday. I think I must be in denial. I haven't even thought about what we are doing for a party. I need to get on that.

Now I might be a little biased, but seriously. He is the cutest! And this month, oh, all the "big boy" things he is starting to do. Clapping. Laughing just because we are. The food. Oh is he liking food. Spaghetti tonight. Mmmmm. Realizing his toys are there for more than chewing on. He loves putting the shapes in the shape sorter. And anything else he can find to fit.

He can be a bit ornery though too. Throwing things is GREAT fun. And smacking people is GOOD too. But nothing beats a good old fashion hair pulling. I see Mama's carrying their babies on their backs. I don't see that happening here.

But he can be SO sweet too. Liking wrapping his little arm around my neck in a tight hug. Melt my heart. And nothing is better than some mama's milk when your tired, hungry, sad, happy, bored. But it can be frustrating when you can't crawl around at the same time. Ouch!!
