Carter is 8 months
He is growing up so fast. 8 months is scary, that means a year old is just around the corner. He is getting so big. He is 20lbs and 28 inches long and trying to move that little body of his. He has no interest in crawling. In desperate times he'll scootch but really that's only to get into position to pull himself to standing. I'm fearful that walking is around the corner. And really I can't blame him, crawling will not help him keep up with his brother any faster, he's going straight to running, I'm sure of it. He is still all smiles. No teeth yet, which is a blessing. He's doing just fine eating everything in front of him and often protests "baby food" because he wants what we're eating. His current favorites are swinging and water play. I can't even wash my hands without him leaping out of my arms. He's definitely a baby that you have to hold with two hands, he will often try to make a leap to something that he sees or wants. Seeing things through his eyes has been so much fun. With two life has gotten more crazy and more fun exponentially! That paired with Carter starting physical, occupational and speech therapy has encouraged Tom and I to not work so hard outside the home. A carpe diem sort of thing. So starting this month we'll each be home one extra day a week and we both couldn't be happier about it. Life is too short! And I mean look at these two....
Mason took this picture, he is quite the master of the iPhone and I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing..this blondie keeps us on our toes. The look on Carter's face is like "oh ok, that's how its done, thanks Mason".
