Finally Standing

Our little Carter is finally standing! He even took his first step on March 13th. Carter is doing really well now. He weighs 19 lbs. 3 oz, so I turned around is car seat. He is also up to five words, “mama, dada, quack-quack, tickle-tickle, and night-night.” He did have his speech evaluated and he isn’t behind in the verbal, jus expressing comprehension. I think it is probably due to the fact that he couldn’t really hear us before he got his tubes put in. Carter is still working with Early Childhood Intervention to get him walking and he will also have speech therapy. So all in all, things are looking up with Carter’s health. He will be 18 months old on the 28th and will have is check up on Wednesday. Carter loves to be outside, and will crawl around out there for hours. He has already worn out the tops of two pair of shoes from crawling. Carter also likes to go to the playground and go down the slide. He crawls up the stairs and then turns around and goes down backwards. It is really cute. He likes the swing as long as I don’t push him too high. Lately Carter is all smiles with a few fits thrown in. We getting used to the new Carter since he is do different since his surgery. He also has developed an attachment to one of his blankets. He bunches it up and holds it to go to sleep and in the morning when I come in to get him he dives on top of in and holds on so he can take it out of the crib. He also likes to bunch it up and hold on to it so no one else can get it. He is my first blanky baby because the other two had pinkies Here is our little guy standing.
