Carter's Mom

Wow, Carter's first Christmas is over! It has been fun. It's hard to believe I was pregnant a year ago, and now, he isn't even a little baby. For some reason, he has been developing at a rapid pace. It seems he just started crawling, and now, he wants to pull up on everything. We have had to lower his mattress to the lowest setting. He is all over the place and doesn't want to sleep. I may be able to get rid of my trainer and just chase Carter around the house. At the same time, he is SO much fun. He giggles all the time and is very affectionate.

He got some nice toys from everyone. I woke up to him playing with this little telephone and enjoying his gifts from Santa. This is just small amount. Gammy and Poppa really spoiled him rotten.

Maybe I'm a bad mom, but I didn't see a point in buying too much this year. I figured we would wait until he knows the difference. He was more interested in the wrapping paper than his gifts, but he seemed to have a blast. He wore himself out by 10:00 am.

Carter enjoyed lunch with us and ate much of my sweet potato, some of my roll, and two little bites of steak. This evening, he really enjoyed cranberry bread. He likes everything he tries. I am careful because I don't want him to choke on anything.

I think we may drive up to Clemson tomorrow for no reason at all. My parents haven't been in a long time, and I figure it's better than trying to go shopping.

I've added a bunch of pictures on flickr. You can check them out to the right.
