Baby Fall Festival

Carter also got to take part in the Fall Festival at daycare. They had a baby version out on the playground. Based on Carter's expression (one only), it may not look thrilling. He is a riot. I had to put all of these up just to show how un-into it he is. I am sure he had fun, though :)

Baby ball pit, mmmmm.

Carter is into this, or maybe he is checking out...

the baby bounce house.

This is no Monkey Joes!

This is my favorite! Still not cracking a smile!

They should have brought Dylan out. Carter would have smiled in an instant!

Mmmmm...

...thank you Aunt Tricia for the pizza!

Carter...

...with all the ladies!

Carter at 7 Months

Here is an update of Carter at 7 months:

Carter loves to eat. He enjoys all kinds of fruits and vegetables (even the green ones now) and cereals. He is starting to taste finger foods but can't yet get the food to his mouth on his own.
Everything else, however, goes into his mouth. He still mainly goes for blankets and clothes, but also has expanded this to everything he can maintain his grip on to make it to the mouth.
He is trying to crawl. He ends up pushing himself backward until he hits a wall.
He is loud (wonder where he gets that from...). He yells or babbles for the room to hear and beyond ;)
Carter is getting to be ticklish and smiles a lot more for other people than Dylan.
He wants everything that Dylan has. And so it begins...

Carter super happy outside playing:

Halloween Party :)

We enjoyed our neighborhood Halloween party on Saturday. Dylan was Boots the monkey and I was Dora the Explorer. Carter and Brian went as really awesome guys ;)
