The days have been getting a little chilly lately, its not fall quite yet but its definitely right around the corner!! We spent some time outside today and Danny at any chance he gets is trying to get Carver to walk, and yes I want my son to walk, no I don't want him crawling till he is 3, but do we have to rush it really?? Do we have to push him so hard to walk?? I don't think so. if he doesn't walk till he is 1 or a little after, my heart definitely won't be broken!! But, this kid is smart, I mean REALLY smart!! (ok ok it could just be the proud mother talking, but I still think he is super smart) And I'm sure if Danny keeps it up, he will be walking sooner than we think!! He loves to stand, sometimes he gets very mad if you try to sit him on his buns because all he wants to do is stand! He cant quite pull himself up into a standing position, he is really top heavy!! You have to understand that this kid is the size of an average 18-24 monther! But I'm sure once his cute chubby legs build up some muscle, he will be cruisin' along the furniture edges in no time!!

Him and his tongue! He really enjoys the taste of fresh air I guess!! :)

Watching our dog and cat wrestle! Yes, our two cats and our dog get along really well, it kind of freaks people out sometimes actually.
Danny trying to get him to stand, he was still very interested in the animals.

Walking away!! This is his cheese smile, you see it a lot with this kid!! SO much personality!!

Almost lost his balance, he tried to grab the camera!

Danny trying to see if he could balance on his own.

Oh, and speaking of personality, a big part of it is his "lil stinker" attitude! Its really cute sometimes, but also it makes mom have to clean up ALOT of unusual messes. One of these unusual messes?? Qtips. and not just any Qtips, half soaked with baby spit and chewed on Qtips. Every single one! and it was a new box. I have no idea what motivated him to chew on one end, then spit them out and grab more and repeat. But he did this all in a matter of 5 minutes of me being in the other room. 5 minutes. Oh boy, what a boy!

This is actually after I had found him, he kinda slowed down on the whole eating part because he knew it was naughty!

He has half a smile on his face!! What a stink!

The first pic I took!! Now I know, this could have ended with him choking on one. But honestly, he picked them up, put them in his mouth like the above pictures, sucked on them for a sec then spit them right out!! Don't ask me why, because I don't know!!

but I do know this....

I love this little being more than I could ever love anything or anybody else.

and that's a fact.
