Up, Up, UP the stairs

Hmm . . . what do I see up there?


Let's see if I can get that toy . . .


Almost there . . .


Success!

Crawlin' and Cruisin'

Below is a video of our little man crawling on all fours (instead of his "I'm wounded, army crawl") and then pulling up and cruising around. He is becoming more and more mobile!

Playing in the sand

Now I can STAND all by myself

Since learning how to pull up Carter has been busy around the house. Mom has also become a jungle gym.

Colorado adventure

We had a great trip visiting my parents in Colorado. Carter did great in the car, most likely because we drove at night. While we were in CO we did quite a bit of hiking and "nature" stuff. Carter loved being outside and particularly loved watching the running water of the Yampa and Fish Creek Falls.


All ready to go on my first hike.


First family photo at Fish Creek Falls -- many to follow I'm sure.



That water is so cool . . .

On a scenic outlook.

I love hiking with daddy!

Hiking at Stagecoach Resevoir into the trees.

On the dam at Stagecoach.

Bushwacking hiking with daddy to get to the river at Stagecoach.

We made it to the river!

It was beautiful and Carter loved it.

Back in town in front of Howelsen Hill.

While we were in CO Carter finally ate some "table" food. The winner of Carter's choosy palate is graham crackers.

Hanging out with Nana.

8 months old

He must know what the camera is now, because this month it only took me one shot to get a happy smiling Carter. I set him next to his bear, got out the camera, and he started smiling and clapping.

Scary new skill

We just watched Carter, who was refusing to nap, pull up in his crib. Exciting, but a little scary too!
