17 Months!

Mr. Man is 17 months today!!! We call him our "little caveman" bc that's what he sounds like a lot of the time when he can't verbalize what he wants to say...I think we have finally learned the sign for "please" so that should really help! He loves being outside and gets so upset when it is time to come in...it has been so cold lately we can only go out for quick little spells and then it's back in!

Carter loves his new doggie and Norris greets him with a kiss each time he sees him (no one else gets the licks...might be bc Carter is right at his level...)

Carter is a climber...

He is so proud he can get up on the bench these days like a big kid...

If things are too quiet you know he has climbed up on something or is getting into something he shouldn't...sneaky little guy...He loves to read-- especially books with animals...his fav animal sounds are "moo and maaaa" when we get to the cow and goat pages...

Carter cracks us up each day with his silliness...yesterday he started to try to do the moonwalk and I sang "Smooth Criminal" to him and he just hammed it up...he cracks me up that he wants to walk backwards when he hasn't totally mastered going forward yet! :)

Carter is a dancing machine...he loves to dance and will get going in circles til he falls down...and when it is his turn for music in the van I always put on the classic rock station and that gets his arms a going! I think he likes all the guitars and drums...

Here is our little dancer in action (don't mind my singing please...) It's the song at the end of Mulan....We watched Mulan as a family the other weekend and we really like the movie as grownups...the music and story are great! (Mulan goes to war in her father's place...she is one tough little girl....Check it out!) We love our little guy and can't believe this time next month he will be 1 and a half!!!! Time is flying!!!!!
