Two New Firsts

We have a couple of new firsts to report. Carter is starting to sit on his own just a bit. We usually keep our hand around him to catch him when he starts to tilt too far, but lately we have been removing all hands while Carter is on our bed to see how long he can last. Depending on what toy he has in his mouth, he will sit for 15 - 30 seconds before toppling over. Sometimes the toppling over is the best part. He always looks so surprised when he ends up on his tummy or his back. Then he starts smiling really big. It is fun.

The other new first comes from the teeth department. We can see the first white speck on his bottom gum line. The increased drool (soaked through 2 bibs in one playtime today) and crankiness tells us it must be close. I realized I may not get many more chances to snap toothless photos, so we took a few new shots today - check out the new December album on the left for more.

  1. I keep hearing the word "fun" as in he tumbles over and comes up smiling, it is fun. Well, it's FUN to read about what going on and it's FUN to see those smiles. Keep the fun coming. We do enjoy it.
