Community Pool
Friday, June 15, 2007
Last weekend we took Carter to the community pool. They have a really nice baby wading area with big mushroom sprayers etc. He loved it. He splashed around and waded in the water like crazy. In fact, he had so much fun that he was completely wiped after we got home. The picture of him in his car seat is what he looked like when we made it back home. The other shots are of him another day. He loves to look out the window. In fact, if there is a bird in the yard, he will get onto his tip toes to watch it. 
Ready, Set, Go!

Carter has begun letting go of the couch and balancing standing up on his own. He has gotten pretty good and each day he stands for a little longer. So as I always do, I bought him a new toy to encourage the new milestone. This time I got him a little cart that he can push while walking. The first time he pushed the cart and he realized it was rolling with him, he let out a loud gleeful laugh. It was so cute! Here are some videos of him moving.
Day Trip to the Zoo/Aquarium
Sunday, May 20, 2007
On Saturday, we planned a family day trip to the San Antonio Zoo and Aquarium. The aquarium was small but, it was just as well as it seemed that Carter was more interested in the zoo anyway. Jeff and I think that we were probably just spoiled growing up close to the shed Aquarium. So we will try the Shed out on our next trip out by Chicago. Carter enjoyed the Rhinosorus the most out of all the animals. It was a fun eventful day.
Finger Foods
Thursday, May 17, 2007
For several weeks, I have been putting little finger food puffs on Carter's high chair tray just to try to encourage him to self feed. He usually just played with them of course and tossed them on the floor for Aubrey to eat. Aubrey doesn't seem to mind this by the way. Well out of the blue the other day, Carter decided to try them out for himself. I quickly ran for the camera and here are the shots I was able to catch.
New Chompers
We have teeth everyone. Carter has had his two bottom teeth for a little over a month now. Recently, he has gotten in 3 other top teeth. I haven't been able to get a picture of him showing his teeth until now. Didn't expect that once they started coming in they would come in so quickly. He had his 9 month check up last week and the doctor says he is doing fabulous. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Carter didn't need to have any vaccinations this month. He is so much more aware now and I was dreading him getting his shots. So I can take a deep breath for a few months before I have to prepare myself for shots in July. :)

One day while at a friends house, Carter got a little scared from a loud noise. He quickly grabbed me by the shirt and pulled himself up. I thought it was just a fluke that he did it. Apparently, it was no fluke. Ever since, he has been pulling himself up using anything he can grab onto. I bought him a new toy, to celebrate the milestone. Right away, he pulled himself up to play with it. Check out the picture below.
Just Hanging Out with Friends
Monday, March 12, 2007
Carter and I went over to my friends house for a little play date. My friend Shelli's daughter is about 7 months and my friend Debbie's son is 8 1/2 months. Carter falls in the middle at 8 months. They had a great time together. Carter as you will see in the pictures always wants the toy that the other one has. Sharing is something I think we may have to work on. :)
