Our little boy is a year old!! To quote Carter's favorite show (Little Einsteins), "I cannot believe it!" Carter's no longer a baby. :( He is growing right before our eyes. We couldn't ask for a better little boy. 

New things for Carter this month:

Carter is walking!
Took his first steps on January 4th.
First Christmas!
Opened his first presents.
Got his 2 front teeth for Christmas!
Tried his first Cafe Rio.
He's not too big on baby food anymore. He's wants the real stuff.
Discovered cereal. Loves it, especially Chex.
Started "dancing" when he hears music. His little shake always makes me smile. :)
He's finally getting a little braver around strangers. He's still shy, but he smiled at everyone as we traveled on the airplanes.
Besides his parents, Carter's two favorite people are his grandmas. They were the only two people he would always willing go to while we were on vacation.

Just hanging out waiting for the doctor.

Reading his book the doctor gave him.

Sweet Superman pjs.

Carter stole some of Nolan's puffs... You can see him eyeing them.

Carter loves to push the cart.

Can you see the smile on his face? :) It's really windy.

Trying a little quesadilla at Cafe Rio with is cousin Nolan.

I love this picture! Carter was very focused on his orange.

Just having his bottle with Uncle Nate. 

Two front teeth!

Carter's Christmas present from Santa.

I love these next two pictures. Carter loves his daddy. 

So cute! :)

We took this just before we cut Carter's long hair. 

The back of his hair gets curly when it is wet. It's pretty cute. :) 

Carter's playing in his Mater wagon. And sporting his new haircut. 

Such a cutie! There is a button on the front of the wagon you can push and Mater talks. He loves it!

Carter got this awesome Superman pjs from his Aunt Megan. They are size 18m so they're a little big, but they sweet!

I love my little boy! He always sticks out his little tongue and I love those big blue eyes.

Sorry about the picture overload! I didn't even put a lot on that I wanted to. I could look at pictures of this little guy all day. 

Carter boy, we love you more than anything in the world. We are so glad that you came to our little family. We have so much fun with you. You are at such a fun age! We love to interact with you as we see more and more of your little personality develop. You definitely have a little attitude when you don't get what you want. You're not afraid to let us know when you're not happy about something. (Like right now you want to type on the keyboard and aren't too happy I'm not letting you. :)) But for the most part you are one happy little guy. You have the cutest smile ever. When you laugh, your dad and I can't help but laugh with you. We are the luckiest parents in the world. You mean the world to us. We could not ask for a better little boy. We love you Carter!
