9 months

Carter will be 9 months old next week. He has now been outside of my body for as long as he was inside my body! He is doing new things each day.....I love being with him.
New "tricks"
**waves Bye-bye (the best is when Neil leaves for work each morning)
**gives Hi-Fives (Spastically, but we'll take it!)
**Says "Da Da" and "Ba Ba". He loves to chatter
**Squeals whenever he sees the cat
**Has given up the binki since last week (This is good and bad)
**Has a new obsession with baby dolls (Neil thinks he may be gay....(j/k)
**Has had 2 different ear infections (Thank heavens for insta-care on Sunday mornings)

Here is the baby doll he discovered at my mom's house. He would always go straight for the eyes.

Out for a walk-we cannot wait for Spring.
He isn't crawling yet-really not even trying to get up on his knees yet. This is great because I can leave him in the living room while I run to Wal-Mart really quickly(Joking, joking) But he can roll anywhere he wants to go and can turn his body to get places.
He is obsessed with any kind of ball. I think this proves that he has a more manly side than shown with the doll. Does it get any manlier than a basketball and Camouflage? I think not.
This is Carter's latest "face." He'll do this weird smile, crinkle his eyes and make a low moaning sound. It's hilarious and he'll do it when I do it to him. I love all 25.4 pounds of him!
