Carter's 7 month update

I have to tell you- the last few weeks have been both long and rough! We've had so much going on. I don't know WHEN the last time my house was clean! But, times have been good- this weekend I spent a ton of time just relaxing with the family. Though there was plenty else that could have been done, I decided to (or, seth pushed me to..) relax and put the 'to-do' list off. For this, I am thankful.


Carter is now 7 months old. He's been crawling like a speed racer since 5 months, standing since not long after that- maybe at 5 1/2 months- and is now trying to stand without holding things. He's super picky and stubborn- I blame myself for that one. "Mamama" is his favorite babble (aww), he loves puppies and uses his stuffed shark as a pillow. He loves to swim, and loves his mickey mouse. Right now we are working on- feeding himself, and dunking under water. He's fascinated by water bottles- and if mom and dad are eating, just believe he's gonna eat too. His favorite food, I think, is guacamole (Or his crunchy organic cheetos and his yogurt things- cause he can grab and chew those).


As a momma, I cannot believe how fast he is growing. He shows so much personality and it feels so amazing every time he learns something new. He's such a social baby- he loves to smile and play with everyone.


In the next month I'm looking forward to- Carter's first thanksgiving (and first night away from mom and dad - since we are going Black Friday Shopping), Pictures with Santa, Family Pictures, and Carter getting to meet so many of his cousins! Also, I'd like to say I'm predicting walking by the end of the year.

But that's plenty of gushing. Here are a few pics.



Here's carter being a big boy at 7 months, and he was feeding himself some finger foods (after some baby food- hence the messy face)

This was last month at the pumpkin patch

A preview of carter in the outfit that SETH had the idea for his Santa pictures- so cute!
