18 Months!

Happy 18 Months Carter Man! Time has gone by so fast I can hardly believe it. This time last year you weren't even mobile and now you run aroud like a crazy person! Carter you a such a big boy and we love you so much!

Here is what you have been up to:
  • You talk all the time and can be very loud!
  • New things you say,  "happy day" (which I think you got from all the Happy Birthdays we've had this month!), "help!", "please - although sometimes it sounds like me, me, me", "uh oh!",
  • You pat the back of your head if you cough
  • You don't seem to be biting or attempting to bite Addison as much - there are still frustrating moments (like ZOMG she is sitting too close) and some hitting but no biting (knock.on.wood)
  • Any time you hurt yourself you look at the object that hurt you (i.e, toy, wall, etc.), wave your finger at it, and say "no no"
  • You still have the best giggle and belly laugh
  • You still love any type of ball and are very good at throwing and kicking them
  • You learned how to kiss! Like a real, pucker kiss in lieu of your open-mouth slobber kiss - too cute!
  • You can give a "fist-bump" and point out boo-boos
  • You love to jump around the couch/bed and fall over - crazy man!
  • We finally open the rest of your birthday presents and you LOVE your Little People garage - you even tried to sleep on it the first night :)
  • You know what The Count (from Sesame Street) says - ah, ah, ah! You know what a doggie says, a kitty says, a lamb says, what a pig says, and what a cow says.
  • You love computers and always climb on grandma's computer chair when it is out
  • You love to read! You pick out books for us to read to you or that you "read" to yourself. Any time you see Cookie Monster in a book you point, say "yum!" and pretend to eat his cookie :)
  • You still love music but will shake your head and say no when you don't like the song playing
  • You know the motions to the Wheels on the Bus song
  • You love to be outside and will whimper/cry at the window when you want to go out and REALLY cry when it is time to come in...winter may be a hard season for you
