This is the spunkiest little girl I have ever met. Doesn't she just look like a mess in the pictures? As I have said before, she is NOTHING like her sister. She is not scared of anything, and she is such the little daredevil. She loves to run away from me, climb, jump off the furniture, etc. She is so active. I don't know if I was prepared to have a child that is all over the place! I actually can't believe she sat still for these pictures. I was using my best singing voice for sure!
Carter is growing tremendously with her vocabulary. She just about repeats any word that we say. She is starting to string some words together as well. When I'm on the phone she loves to say "want to talk too". She also says "love you Blair" which totally gets me going. She tells every animal in her room night night and blows tons of kisses. She loves to sing "wheels on the bus", "abc's", "ring around the rosies", and "bye bye black sheep".
Carter is over-all a good eater. She was a GREAT eater before she had hand, foot, and mouth disease this summer, and I swear that really took a toll on her. She loves all fruits and a good amount of vegetables. We went through a really tough spot with meat and poultry, but she has gotten tons better. She is a fan of deli meat, daddy's meatballs, fish sticks, turkey sausage, and some hot dogs. She also loves any type of beans. She did NOT get that from me ;) For some reason, she does not want anything to do with chicken nuggets or any sort of potato. She is pretty much a train wreck at Chik-fil-a. Where did she come from?!
And last but not least, I have to brag on how much Carter loves her sister. Blair is the best little helper and teacher to Carter. I have known for a long time that Blair is such a nurturer, but it has really come out in the past few months. Blair has taught Carter all of her animal sounds, she has taught her several nursery rhymes, and she has also taught her to count as she is walking up the stairs. Blair loves to sit down and read to Carter, and she is so good in sharing her toys with her. If Blair gets something new, she is always worried if Carter is going to get a treat too. We definitely have our moments where they fight over the same toy or where one of them ends up throwing a fit, but for the most part they are best friends. Carter wants to do everything Blair does (even walk on her tip toes-Lord help me). I never thought I would buy an 18 month old hot pink glittery Tom's, but I did because she just wants to be like her sister so bad!
We love our little out-going, energetic Carter-girl! She is one of a kind and we wouldn't trade her for the world!
