Only one month until Carter is a year old. Wow...how did that happen?!?
Here are some facts about 11 months:
- Carter loves to play with doors - if they are opened, they must be shut. He is very careful about shutting his fingers in the door. I'm sure that at some point he will slam them in the door, but not yet. His favorite door to play with is the door between the kitchen and dining room. He loves to pass the magnets under the door.
- He can stand, but never chooses too. I really thought he would be off and running by this point, but he still has no interest.
- His favorite thing right now is the park - he loves the swing, tunnel, and slide.
- He and his daddy are best buds right now. Makes it hard for Mommy, but as Matt reminds me, it is great that he has a wonderful father who is involved in his life.
- He is feeding himself three meals plus one snack per day. No baby food or feeding this kid!
- During the week when he goes to daycare he takes one short nap (30 min - 1hr) at daycare and then a two hour nap when he gets home and then goes to bed around 8:00. He has way too much fun at daycare to waste anytime sleeping. On the weekends, he still takes two two hour naps and then sleeps 12 hours at night. He has to make up for less sleep during the week.
- He is babbling a lot more and can mimic more sounds. I have suspicion that he is on the verge of (or already has) purposefully called Matt "dada."
- Recently, he learned to clap and is very proud of himself when he claps.
- At the grocery store he loves to push the cart while crawling upright on his knees. I'm sure that we look ridiculous and people probably look at us funny, but he loves it and it wears him out!
- He continues to be more and more independent and knows exactly what he wants and will let you know when he is not happy. I see the beginning of discipline entering!
- He has the cutest (and pretty efficient) backwards crawl.
We are looking forward to Carter's first birthday party next month! Hope to see you guys there!
