Carter Boy!

Hard to believe but Carter is 7 months old. He is sitting up by himself, crawling everywhere, standing in his crib and eating a ton of food. He is (almost) always happy and quite taken with his sisters.
Carter hit two major milestones while we were in Egypt. One - he sat by himself, unassisted (albeit for only a few moments) long enough for Jason to snap a picture. Two - he started crawling. Of course, I was excited however I was also wondering why he couldn't have waited just a few more days. Why did he have to crawl while we were in places where I could not (or maybe would not) put him on the floor...this made for some inventive ways of keeping him contained on a bed.
He started eating solid food (if that is what you can consider baby food) once we returned to the States. This was somewhat later than what his sisters started eating food but it was one less worry for me while we were in Cairo...how to mix cereal and clean his utensils and not have him getting sick! So, we waited! He seems to be making up for lost time - can he put the food away! He has always been a good eater and there is no sign of that changing anytime soon.
I suppose that is all for now. I have some back posting to do to get caught up but like my scrapbooks I'll start current and work my way backward.

PS. I am the photographer responsible for this picture. This photo would not have made the cut had it been taken with Jason's camera (not sharp enough). He is quite brutal when it comes to going through his work. I don't save all mine but ones like this that are not quite 'perfect' but cute just the same get saved. I can just see Jason shaking his head now and wondering if he has taught me anything...
