9 months old!

Our little man is already 9 months! He got to celebrate by spending a few days with nana, papa, Kendyl and Cece while Ty and I went skiing with his family in Colorado- we love the mountains! 

 It was so hard to leave those two, but after the past few weeks with sickness- we were ready! We also got to see Kelsey and Kearney so that was fun! 

Carter is standing against everything and getting pretty brave about barely holding on.

 Anytime he hears someone go downstairs, he always finds his way to the gate to greet them back! Big sister is usually quick to get there and move him- she thinks she needs to carry him lately (doesn't seem to faze her that he is practically as big as she is). 

He still hates baby food, but eats about anything he can pick up himself! Mr. Independent! 

He loves balls! Tonight, he grabbed his bat that was on the rug and when he hit it on the floor, he realized he didn't make much noise so he made his way to the wood floor- we were pretty impressed! 

He just finished another round of antibiotics for an ear infection and in the past 2 weeks have dealt with fevers on and off. We see an ENT next week to determine if he needs tubes. Despite not feeling great the past few weeks, he still is fairly happy most of the time! I'm hoping the tubes will help our sleeping situation- this mama is tired of getting up twice in the middle of the night! Here's to hoping the 9th month of life for Carter is a healthy month!!
