Carter Says MOO!

He can talk and thanks to the miracles of modern technology (and a little encouragement from Dave) you can hear him!

Mr. Independent

Carter has become very handy and even more independent lately. He's very willing to help daddy water the plants (as long as he gets squirted also).


He frowns upon his mother and father cutting up his food into bite size pieces and he prefers to hold the entire pancake/burger/meatball/piece of chicken etc.

When Susan tried to give him a quick wash of the feet he somehow weaseled his way into getting a full bath in the sink.


And hey... who wouldn't love a 105 pound dog's slobbery foomanchu tickling the top of their head?


Carter scored a baby pool with a slide at his cousin Jett's Party. When we told him that it was too hot to play outside (it has been a fiery 100-108 this week) he just pulled the baby pool right out and started to blow it up on his own. Saving Carter 4 1/2 hours of blowing, Susan stepped in and saved the day. Carter has been cooling off daily in his new slide pool. He has even mastered the belly slide.



Carter keeps up his Parrotish skills as he masters new words and phrases every day. He has now begun to put together sentences and has been able to express his thoughts on subjects. Example:

"Look at the tractor Carter" - momma

"Big Tractor" - Carter

The tractor drives away past our house.

"Where Tractor Go?" -Carter

"It Drove Away" - momma

This is where Carter would usually repeat "Drove Away" about 5 times but just the other day he threw me a curveball.

"Go Find It" - Carter
