almost crawling!

Carter has been a busy man, trying to crawl and all. He has been waving bye bye to not only mom and dad now! It's so cute :) He has been getting up on all fours and rocking!!We are pretty sure he is going to crawl soon!

He is 8 months old today :) On Uncle Ricky's bday! Happy Birthday Brother!!

We went on his first trip on Tuesday to Springfield, Mo because our uncle passed away. He was a good baby the whole time, and didn't fuss during the car rides or anything! He got to swim for the first time with grandma, mom and kla, and also got into a bath tub for the first time! ( we dont have one, we still use the infant/toddler tub) He really seemed to like swimming after he got used to it not being all nice and warm like his baths are! I was nervous because we were the farthest we've been from home but it was so nice hanging out and spending quality time with the family.

On Saturday at ten, we are going to a KU Research facility where a researcher is going to give carter toys to play with and pictures to look at and he'll be in a motion sensor room :) I think he'll have fun and of course they will love my cute little child! It's cool that he can be a participant in research when I work in the research field :)

I can't wait for this summer to buy Carter a little swimming pool, infant swing, and all sorts of fun stuff! We went garage saling last Saturday but not for long since it was a little chilly. I'm pretty sure they gave us a deal because of Carter's smiles :)

He is pretty much eating at the table with everyone else now (when we go out to eat) haha! We need a dining room! but anyways, carter has been eating big people food and loving every minute of it! Grandma gave him hard cheerios this weekend and he has such a good little pincher grasp! It may be because I had been giving him soggy ones the whole time lol. I didn't want him to choke! So now he is a finger food champ!!
