8 months old...


Carter is 8 months old today! He has had an eventful month. As mentioned in the post below, he can pull himself up to standing now and (get this!) TWO teeth are coming through. I mentioned the first one, but sure enough, two days later, the one right next to it is making its appearance as well. This second tooth is REALLY getting the best of him too. Breaks my heart :(

This month, we went to the State Fair with DD and Pops (Tim's parents) and got to ride the Dart Train! Carter was an angel on that entire trip. Too bad the lines were SO long that we didn't get to do any kid-friendly activities at the Fair. :( Also, this weekend, we are also making a trip to Houston to see GiGi (my Mom), Pappy (my Dad), Grandma and Uncle Scotty! We have plans to visit the Pumpkin Patch, where we will take a hayride, a ride on a train and even get to pet some goats! So stay tuned for more pictures. He has gotten to / is getting to spend LOTS of time with friends and family!!!

Also this month, Carter experienced 2 HISTORIC events in baseball. He watched (I use that term loosely) Roy Halladay throw the 2nd no-hitter to ever be pitched in the postseason! AND he has witnessed the Texas Rangers not only win their first (and second) post-season series, but they are now going to the WORLD SERIES! Go Rangers!

No new updates on the food situation. Carter seems to be picky about his food's texture. So he's still eating TONS of baby food. (Gigi SWEARS we are giving him another banana this weekend to see what happens!) I need to upload a video of him talking these days. So many different sounds, syllables, noises. It is GREAT! Oh yeah! And everyone keeps asking how much he weighs now...21 pounds! Our adorable little chunky monkey :)

Milestones...

Two major things happened for Carter yesterday...

His FIRST TOOTH made its appearance! It is BARELY through the gum, just a tiny little white speck. But it's there, to be seen AND felt!

Also, we got a letter from one of his teachers at school yesterday (actually a "Happy Gram"). Apparently while he was playing yesterday, he pulled himself up to standing ALL BY HIMSELF using the toy box.

More pics of all this fun next week, when he turns 8 months old. :)
