If I added right that is 90 words plus he will repeat just about anything that I say to him. These words are things that he says very clearly and I can understand about 95% of the things that Carter tells me. I can not believe how much he has learned in the last few months.

Baby Mozart

I borrowed my sister's keyboard so that I can start to practice piano again. Carter loves to play more than me.

Carter Walking

Carter is becoming a pretty good walker. He still rather crawl but he will let go of the wall or our hands and walk now.

A Whole New World for Carter

On Saturday, Carter learned to go down the stairs. This has opened a whole new world for Carter. He loves to be able to follow the kids downstairs without help.

Playing under the Table

Carter can pull himself up on almost anything now. He was trying to get to Ryan and went under the table and pulled himself up.

Carter and Garrett playing together

Garrett and Carter love to play together. Garrett was trying to make a tunnel for Carter to crawl under but Carter does not like crawling on the tile without his pants on.

Carter can do it!

In less than a week of having his brace off, Carter has learned to crawl.

Clapping

Carter learned to clap this week. He will now clap (for the most part) when he sees other people do it.
