Milestones


We've been checking in on some milestones in our family recently.

Fischer turned 2 last Friday! We celebrated by giving him a HUGE bone from Publix.

He LOVED it, and there's actually not much left of it! I am hoping that this milestone will mark the beginning of him calming down some and not licking everything in sight, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Afterall, he is a lab!

Today marks another milestone - Carter is 14 months old!

I can't believe our little man is already 14 months. It seems like just yesterday that he was a baby. Now he's such a big boy. He's been getting dangerously close to walking - he's taking connected steps and getting really brave - letting go of things all by himself and walking away from them! The one thing that made him still seem like a baby is soon to be gone, and I'll have a big walking boy on my hands! I couldn't be prouder of my lil' man! He's such a tremendous blessing!

CARTER'S 14 MONTH MILESTONES:
- He has 8 teeth!
- He is learning the correct times to wave and say "hey" or "bye-bye."
- He is getting good at climbing up into chairs and couches.
- He starting to reach for things on top of counters.
- He is starting to take connected steps, but crawling is still the primary mode of transportation.
- He claps and cheers for himself :-)
- He points to a few things in his books when we ask where they are....mostly dogs (of course)!
- He is very curious. He points to everything and says "eh" as if to say "what is that, mommy"
- He "talks" all the time.
- He is saying, dada, dog, hi/hey, mama, bubu (bubbles), bye-bye, uh-oh, and ha (hot). Every now and then he will say another random word (or phrase) - but those are the repeated words.

We are blessed to have such a wonderfully joyful little one year old boy in our lives!

Party, Party!

Here are the things that I made for Carter's 1st Birthday Party. Yes, I know it was more than a month ago - goodness, it was almost 2 months ago!!! What can I say, I have a 1 year old!

The outfit....

I even made it reversible so that he could wear it after his big day!

It was so fun to add my handmade touches to his 1st Birthday Party! I really enjoyed making these things, and plan to use (some of) them again!

DISCLAIMER: Please don't think I'm a supermom who has it all together though. On the morning of his party, I got so wrapped up in greeting the grandparents/getting ready for the party - I TOTALLY FORGOT TO PUT ON MAKEUP!!!! Yes, I had 40 people at my house - and not a stitch of makeup on my face. We also went out to eat to Logans on his "real" birthday because I was so tired from the party :-) I remembered to wear makeup to Logans!

I am a real mom.
