Merry Christmas! (And Carter is 10 months old!)



On Christmas day, Carter turned 10 months old! It has been a rough month for the little guy. He got sick the week of Thanksgiving, and has pretty much been sick since. Pink eye (twice), an ear infection that would not go away, RSV. Poor little thing! He is hopefully on the mend now, getting to spend 2+ weeks at home with Mommy. We have managed to have a little fun, in spite of all the sickness. Carter's favorite things are playing with his toys, walking (not quite on his own yet), taking baths, playing outside (especially with leaves), going for walks, taking baths and eating, of course. He is starting to turn down baby food, aggressively, might I add. I guess he just wants to feed himself, like a big boy! He eats toast, bananas, pears, cheese. We are experimenting with all kinds of big boy food. He also likes to help Daddy around the house (see the fireplace pic). And of course loves to tear up magazines (what?!?! Bizarre, I know). We also got a visit from Gigi, Uncle Scotty and Cousin Alex. We went to Grapevine for their Main Street Christmas festival. Santa and Frosty the Snowman were there, we took a hayride through downtown and all kinds of cool Christmas stuff. He is a little young to enjoy it all, but we still had a great time. Carter's first Christmas was awesome! We got to spend a lot of time with all of our families. Of course, Carter got an INSANE amount of gifts. It was ridiculous! Toys, toys, toys. Books, puzzles, clothes, a new Baby Einstein video. You name it! And he loves playing with all of it. And even had fun learning how to open his gifts!
