Miss Carter

Carter is officially 15 months old! The time certainly goes by faster with the second one.  She is now clearly a toddler with the pre-terrible-twos attitude to go with it:) She is definitely a drama-queen-princess, but also a sweet ball of sunshine who loves to snuggle.  We'll keep her.

 Lately Carter loves:

Eating frozen blueberries, yogurt, cheese, honey wheat pretzel sticks, most bread products, milk, applesauce, and these freeze dried gerber fruit snack things (today she went through a whole bag. Opened and purchased in target and gone by the end of the day..) I can't get her to eat much else and she tends to eat very little at mealtime and carry snacks around all day.  Since she gained hardly any weight between 12 and 15 months we're working on expanding those food horizons.

Talking. Right now she says mama, dada, yea, NO!, mmmmm, yum yum, ball, kitty (sort of), all done, down, truck, hat, night night, ding dong, and signs more, eat, all done, and milk. She nods yes and shakes her head no and points to her hair and nose.  She also gets a tissue, wipes and blows her nose, and throws it away. so stinking adorable.

She loves to play with anything that mommy and daddy are currently using.  She loves to eat our food.  She loves to be chased around by her brother and to pet the kitty. In fact, more then I think anything else the kitty will calm her down and make her happy no matter what.  When she's not eating her dinner she tries really hard to feed it to us.  She is also super into feeding herself with a spoon and/or fork and eats much more this way. She does ok, albeit gets a lot of yogurt in her hair.  I sware it's too early for this kind of toddler hood but that's probably just wishful thinking.  She is a hand holder and a lap sitter.  She loves to turn lights on and off and play with toys that make noise. And dance to music. And have harrison help her jump on the little trampoline we got her for his birthday.  I think 15 months is a rough age generally because we are definitely feeling the frustrated "I can't express myself" phase and sometimes I feel like she's whining all day long, BUT, when she's not she is an absolute darling angel and as cute as can be.

HAPPY FIFTEEN MONTHS CARTER!!!
