Carter at 9 Months!!!

Wow time is flying faster than we want it to! He is getting big, learning lots and more fun than ever!

Some new things Carter is doing is he is a super fast crawler... he can get to anything and wants to be going 24/7! More times than not though he ends up getting hurt! He gets bruises all over his shins and his head he is always banged up with bruises under the eye above the eye between the eyes, you name it! He loves to be noisy! He screams, jabbers, sings and tells us the business! Still loves bathtime! Sleeping great at night! Loves to get into Grandma's Christmas decorations and loves to go see the lights around town! Got 2 teeth now... his bottom front! One broke thru Thanksgiving day and one broke thru 2 days after that! I would have never guessed he was teething he seemed fine... so go Carter for being so tough!

Trying to decide if he likes these decorations or not! They are loud and move towards him so he kinda gets scared!

Chillin' before we go outside!

He says Uh-Oh! He can stand be himself for a long time but no steps yet! He waves Hi/Bye-Bye! We are still working on blowing kisses and clapping! He loves it when we do it for him but refuses to do it on his own! He loves hair... he is constantly running his fingers thru my hair and it usually is the way we get him to sleep... hold him and let him play with my hair! Its really sweet and funny but on the occassion he yanks and OUCH! Pulls way to much hair out! He gets shy when strangers try to talk and play with him! he is still a momma's boy... I am not complaining! He loves to click his tongue on the roof of his mouth! He hates when we eat at the table and won't share and then try to flog baby food on him! He thinks he is big or something! Loves to pull everything off shelves or drop things on the ground when he is sitting in his high chair! He loves to hit balls and chase them around the house! He climbs stairs!

Still loves to read books!

He loves to take his socks off all the time! So instead of continually putting them back on McKay put them in his back pockets!

He is just so cute when he is sleeping!

Loves bathtime!

We went on a playdate just before Thanksgiving with my friend Deleece and her girl Tylee! Tylee is a couple weeks older and it was a ton of fun! We still need to work on the sharing thing with Carter though!
This is Carter trying to fit thru the railing at Tylee's house!

Sportin' his new shoes! So cute!

Climbing thru the box...

Getting irritated that he can't sit up straight in the box!

Loves to come over and "Help" when someone is doing dishes!

This is how I found the squirt one morning... shoved up in the corner buried by his animals and blanket! Looked comfy!

Hanging out at the Training Room at SUU before a basketball game! The players love him! They have nicknamed him C-Man and before one of the games we went to they rubbed his head for good luck... and they won! They wonder why we haven't been back to continue their luck! 

Watching Mom and Dad put up Christmas Lights!

Love to get him from naps with this smiling face!

We went to my cousins farewell and they had swings and Carter loved them! So much fun!

Love these blue eyes!

Trying to play with his toys and can't figure out why his foot is in the way!

Relaxin'!

Hard to see but he won't let me take a picture of them but if you look close it's his teeth!

Found Mom's candy and carried one with him all day long! Wouldn't let go!

Cheese! Yes he will "cheese it" for the camera!

Loves this little bench! Loves little chairs to sit on! he feels so big!

"Cheesin' it" for the camera again! Love this smile!
He is so cute!!!

Ridin' a horsey!

Thought bowling was pretty fun to watch!

Loves to get the knots in Grandma's wood floor!

We love this little kid! One of the joys of our lives!
