Past few weeks...

No big changes going on over the last few weeks - hence the blog silence.  Carter got to go to his first Sheep and Wool festival where he got to see sheepdog demonstrations, smell some livestock, and nurse among thousands of his closest friends.  He especially liked the funnel cake (after I metabolized it a little for him).  The day was rounded out by an evening spent with Pontus and Saga.  We seem to be getting better about being more adventurous and getting Carter out of the house for more and more of the day.  We did, however, pay the price later that night because the little guy didn't quite get his scheduled naps for the day and had a restless overnight.

This weekend we got the rest of the garden into the ground and harvested the first of the spinach.  Carter thinks he likes spinach and picked up a handful, immediately trying to stuff it all into his mouth.   Our great friends Allison and Sarah visited on Saturday and we all went out for crabs (forgot to take pictures - poo!).  Carter does not like crabs, although he does seem to like Guinness.  As you can tell, he's getting very mouthy and trying out lots of new foods: green beans (meh), applesauce (yums), pineapple (yums), peas, turnips, sweet potato and pears are all part of his diet now.

Last night, Carter got the giggles while we were sitting down to dinner.  The video was too cute not to share.

Also, a few days ago we thought it might be fun to see what he does with a cup, so we gave him a little water to sip on:

You can't quite see in the video, but he kept bringing the cup to his cheek while looking at Brian - the classic "drinking problem"!  And then he'd get some water in his mouth, look up at me, and let it all run down his throat.  Not bad for his first try, I think.  :)

Coming soon: Aunt Jenn's graduation, DelFest, and maybe some pool action!
