The past 2 months have been so much fun with Carter. He’s transitioning from a baby into a little boy more and more every day. I’m starting to see such a little personality that’s so jovial it warms my heart. I wish I could bottle him up at this point forever, but photos and fun tidbits of my favorite things will have to suffice.

• Laughing and smiling at himself in the mirror
• Turning around then looking back in the mirror just to make sure he’s still there
• The absolute cutest video of Carter giggles
• A deep inhale of a laugh that sounds like he’s choking
• Insane new love of pasta and the slurping sound that comes with
• A crazy independence of enjoying playing with himself
• Never stops moving or exploring
• The endless daily babbling, er talking, and how I feel like he’s wanting to tell a story
• Always trying to find and play with the dogs
• In reference to above, their dog beds are the new favorite spot to hang out
• An innate intelligence of figuring things out like how to climb down the stairs
• Eating water and talking to it during bath time
• The hitch-step in his crawl that makes him turn into over-drive
• Being able to share some meals
• The “check-ins” when playing as he comes to give me a hug or just say ‘hi’
• The cutest mischievous grin when he knows he’s not supposed to do something, then does
• His new deep belly laugh that makes me want to cry it’s so amazing
• No fear
• The fact we can now take care rides and the screaming has been replaced with chatting
• Lifting and putting everything above the head
• Naked play time
• Laughing each time we read ‘The Wonderful Sounds Mr. Brown Can Do”
• The pensive look when trying to figure something out
• Knowing when mom needs some extra cuddles even if for 5 seconds
• Watching him sleep with his stuffed animal dog, the cuddling kills me

Each day just keeps getting better with this little man and I absolutely love being his mom. Such a blessing!
