Carter 8 Months

Yay! We now have a crawling baby...oh wait. Now we have to baby proof everything. He's mobile!!! It is really fun though. Carter started crawling about 7 1/2 months. He now doesn't get frustrated that he can't reach his toys.  He loves exploring the house.  He tries to eat everything and wants anything that mom and dad have.  Carter is now eating two or three pureed foods everyday and poops just as much.  He's figured out how to pull himself up to a standing position.  We figured he'd be up and about as soon as he started crawling. He's always had the strongest legs.  The biggest hit with Carter is anything that makes noise.  I've given him a metal bowl and a wooden spoon and he LOVES them.  He also likes playing the piano.  Doesn't sound like much but he's so cute banging on the keys. We have two stairs that go from our kitchen to the bedrooms.  Carter has figured out how to go up the stairs, but not how to come down.  He gets stuck at the top and just talks until someone gets him down. 

Playing with his bowl and spoon

I want to climb out

Making car soup

And eating the car soup

How do I open this?

Nothing is coming out

It would taste good in my belly

Maybe I'll try a cup

Mobile babies mean nothing is safe (we've now put a box to block the cords. Out of sight, out of mind)

I have pictures of myself sitting in the same position

I want those apples

Pulling himself up on the chairs (he can't figure out how to get down so he just stands there...until he cries for help)

He's very grabby too.  So much for eating my oatmeal for breakfast

"Can you help me down now?"
