Okay, yes this is a little late, but better late than never. We had a great little party for Carter on his actual birthday (June 3). We had cake, balloons, a bouncer, and of course lots of family and some really great friends there to celebrate too! It was warm so we all congregated primarily inside and we kept the air running. As you can see from the picture above, Carter definitely enjoyed his cake.
Last Thursday (June 7) I took Carter for his 1 year check up. Everything was great. Our pediatrician couldn't believe how much he is talking (is this really a shock....look at his Mom). He was 20lbs 7oz (18th percentile) and 28 1/4 inches long (7th percentile). Yes, we have another peanut child on our hands.
Most of Carter's new tricks are verbal. He sings "Happy Birthday" endlessley, but it sounds more like "Happy day day.....yooouuuuu." He likes to go for walks and any time he sees his stroller, a push toy, or even if we just step outside he says "walk?" He calls me mama now and will actually call to me from around the house if he doesn't see me. He says: hat, balloon, ball, dog, woof, 'happy day', dada, mama, walk, all done, bye bye, chicken, cheese, banana, baba (bottle), night night, book, and many more words that I am too tired to think of right now.
Carter now pulls up and walks around the kitchen hanging onto the cabinets and will even walk with just the guide of a flat wall, but he has not stood on his own yet for more than 2 seconds. He loves to play with toys and really enjoys it when Jadon and Cole allow him to interact with them (they are usually chasing him away).
