And Now for Something Completely Random

Going through pictures from the last year or so, I found a bunch of cute pics that didn't (I don't think) make it to the blog.  So if you're one of the folks that needs a little shot of Carter-ness today (I know I do), here's a whole whack of randomness:

Apologies for the lack of theme, mood, or inspiration.  It's crazy pie around here these days.  We've all had various colds now for going on 2 months, so we're run down and sleepy all the time.

In Carter news: he is walking (as you already knew) a bit.  He gets a little timid after taking a few steps and if things aren't exactly as he likes, he'll crawl after about 4 steps.  He's starting to do it more and more on his own, though.  I think he says "agua" - hard to tell, but he will make sounds like that reaching for his water, so I'm hoping he's actually picking up some Spanish from his daycare provider.  He will periodically say "Da, da, dad-dee" and he might actually mean it, again, we're not quite sure.  And one day when no one was around, he said "Ma-ma!" looking at me with a big old smile.  :)  I haven't gotten him to do it since then, and no one else can confirm it, so I guess it doesn't count yet, but I'm sticking with my story, dang it.
