Growing up!!!

Carter is almost 2 and I can hardly believe it. Where does the time go? He is starting to become a sassy little boy.  He loves Graham Crackers I really hate to admit this , but we are already on box number 2 . He eats them like candy.  Some of our favorite things to say now are fish, cracker, milk, uh oh.  If anybody is eating food you should expect a little baby raccoon to steal some of your food as well.  Every year we go into the woods to "hunt" a Christmas tree. Carter is finally big enough that he is starting to know better what is going on. Now that the tree is in our house and decorated it has become the perfect toy for Carter.  He likes to back into it so that all the tree branches tickle him.  We also ordered his presents online and I made the mistake of wrapping one of them. It has become the perfect seat for us. Carter will sit on it and use the present so that he can reach the balls on the tree. I had to remove all the balls that were closer on the bottom because Carter kept taking them off the tree and throwing them. Our new favorite game is hide and seek. Daddy will take carter in the hall and I will hide behind the couch or coffee table.  Carter comes running out  laughing like crazy. He gets really scared because he knows at any minute I could come and growl at him.  He could play this game all day. But our place isn't especially spacious so there are limited places to hide. We just love him so much. He makes me laugh all the time. We thought we were going to have another baby but it didn't work out. Which it has been pretty hard. That is the way it goes . I guess it just wasn't the right time.  So we'll see when the next one comes.  For now I'm just having fun watching Carter grow and learn everyday.  I love my fella and we love our DADA.
