Carter has turned out to be quite the mobile little fellow. He was not moving and then suddenly crawling, pulling up, and cruising. It all seems to have happened in the past week. And through all of this, he seems to be leaving more dents in the coffee table than our two dogs did. I have had to run my finger through his mouth to pull out pieces before they enter his digestive track.

Other than that, he has excellent teeth-growing skills. There are 13 in all. His hair-growing skills are still lacking, but he looks very cute with his wisps sticking straight up around the crown of his head. Bath-time has to be one of his favorite times of day. From the moment he gets in, his legs are kicking and splashing. It is hard to get him clean because he is moving so much. He is also quite a thumb-sucker. Oral. Hungry. Mostly-happy kid.
