Carter growing up too fast!

So much going on, haven't had time to blog. We are getting ready for Carter's first birthday. I can't believe it, sometimes I want time to stand still just so I can take in Carter being a baby. He wants to be such a big boy. At 10 1/2 months he started walking which Lee and I were not prepared for. He is all over the place exploring and getting into things he shouldn't be getting into. He is so much fun though! Carter says a few words, dada, doggy, auntie, and nana. NO MOMMY YET!! I am patiently waiting!!!


He continues to amaze us everyday learning new things. He thinks dada is hilarious and mommy is funny every once in a while. I may be very emotional this Friday as we celebrate our little man turning one. I guess I should think of it as Dr. Suess says, "Don't be sad that it happened to fast, Be happy it happened."


We are taking Carter to San Diego for his Birthday to play on the beach. It should be lots of fun for him to have a place to roam free and feel sand in between his toes. We are then having his sock monkey themed party with all his friends when we return on Saturday September 10. Carter will start a curriculum based preschool next week just a few days a week so he can interact with kids his age and have a structured learning environment. It should be fun for him to start learning numbers, colors, shapes, letters, etc. Since Carter will be our only child we want to make sure he has every opportunity to succeed in life with strong morals, values, good head on his shoulders, social skills, and know that his parents always will love and support him. 

Lots of fun stuff to look forward to and lots of planning. We had a photo shoot done for his first birthday pics. I love how they turned out. Attached are a view. Enjoy!
