Carter Loves to Climb

Carter has become quite the little climber lately. He figured out how to climb up the stairs at my mom's house last week, and he's been climbing anything he can ever since. His loves to get up into his little chair to watch tv, and is always so proud once he's climbed up there and settled in. He also loves to stand up in his chair. Not a great habit to form, but it sure is cute. At a playdate today, he enjoyed climbing up Caroline's little slide... or at least attempting to. He kept sliding backward and was getting a little frusterated Also, he just loves to sit up on the big couch with me, and he's now learned how to turn him self backward, and slowly ooch himself down off the couch. I'm glad, because I no longer have to worry about him accidentally falling off! What a big boy!!

On a side note.... my little boy had a milestone this week. This may seem like no big deal, or WAAAAY late (yes, it is), but Carter finally will hold his own bottle. Keep in mind, he was strictly a breastfed baby up until about 6 weeks ago, so he's never had the need or desire to hold a bottle on his own. Everytime we've tried to get him to in the past, he looks at us like we're crazy. But for some reason, this week, he decided he was ready! I had fixed his bottle, Carter got all ready and situated up in Daddy's lap, I held the bottle out to hand over to Eric, and Carter just grabbed it, turned it up, and put it in his mouth like he's been doing it forever. What a little toot. I think Eric got a slight taste of what I felt like several weeks back when I weaned Carter. He looked at me with this sad little puppy dog lip like, "Ugh... I guess he doesn't need me anymore." HA!
