Being that he's 16 months old now, Carter is officially a toddler. And he's so.much.fun! Here's what he's been up to.
Yes, that is my 16 month old fully handling a remote control car. He is always trying to keep up with Brooks - and he's usually successful!
Blueberry pancakes. Nuff said.
Oh, and Carter has decided that he likes using a fork to eat now. One night during dinner he was squawking and squealing and I couldn't figure out why. He kept pointing to my plate like he wanted my food, but he had all the same food on his tray. Then I realized he was pointing to my fork and wanted that. So I gave him a fork. He picked it up, scooped up his food and put it in his mouth. Um, that's amazing. I didn't have to teach him at all how to use it. He just .... knew. Smarty pants.
While cleaning up the toys one night, Carter picked up a ball in one hand, picked up a second and stuck it in the crook of his arm, then grabbed a third with his free hand and carried them to the ball basket. Not sure if all kids his age can do that, but I was impressed.
This kid LOVES his blanket, or "beh beh" as he calls it. Loves loves loves his blanket! At bedtime, he'll grab his blanket, rub his face in it and giggle. He's loves that thing so much it makes him giddy! But he's also laid back enough that he doesn't demand just that blanket. He'll settle for a blanket from the couch, the tie blanket in the car or even a towel. He just needs something to hold and snuggle.
Carter is not much of a hat guy, so I was kind of shocked to see him voluntarily wearing his fireman hat around the house.
Oh, that face. Cracks me up!
Wednesday was his day to mop the floor. "Hey Carter, you missed a spot!"
Again with the hats. He found Brooks' hat and put it on all by himself.
Oh, and that stool he's kneeling on. Yeah. He's figured out how to push objects around the house so he can climb on them to reach things. At 16 months, Brooks couldn't even walk. This one keeps me on my toes.
Peek-a-boo!
