9 months old?

How, oh how, did I let it get to this? I haven't posted in 3 months! Might be because the love of my life is still napping and sleeping ON mommy and WITH mommy!

Carter is 9 months and I am more in love with him than I was yesterday! Hard to believe, I know, but it's true. He is my amazing little buddy!

So to catch up....Carter now has 4 teeth! And loves to bite mommy with his teeth and laugh! When he gets really excited (usually when daddy is trumpeting like an elephant), he nips me in the arm. Lovely.

We've had a lot of firsts since I last posted: Carter attended his first concert (Hullabaloo at Java Mamas), his first playdate (watermelon and swimming with Molly), completed his first sign language course (Sign4baby.com), and ate his first solids (tofu, cereal, and nectarines appear to be our favorites)!

He is growing by leaps and bounds...even took a few tentative "steps" as a crawler a few days ago. And, lest I forget, Carter is training for the, let's see, what would it be....the 2028 Summer Olympics? We are taking some private swimming lessons and Carter doesn't seem too worried about the underwater stuff. Just sort of takes it all in stride!

He visits his horse regularly. Concerto has moved down to a wonderful spot in Blossom Valley. There's a nice grassy area for Carter to sit...and eat bugs, leaves, and even rabbit poop. Mmmmm, rabbit poop.

Carter got his first wagon yesterday. Mommy took it out of the car and the young lad just went berserk. I've attached a photo of the event as proof of the love a young boy has for his wagon....
