18 months

Carter turned 18 months at the end of May. I can not believe how fast time has flown! These last few months Carter has grown SO MUCH in every way and keeping up with him has been fun and tiring! Carters 18 Month stats:

Height: 34 inches (90%)
Weight: 25 lbs. 2 oz. (25%)

Carter is 100% boy, he loves anything with wheels! You can usually find him pushing a car/truck/train/tractor, ect around the floor.He runs on his toes and it is the cutest thing EVER.
He is off his baba and drinks juice, water, and milk out of sippys or a straw.
Boo boo is finally good at restraunts, he will sit at the table and eat all of his food, good boy :)!
Carter is a very quiet and thoughtful reader, he reads everything (dvd's, books, cd's, cereal boxes, food labels, ect). He will read something for a good 5 minutes before he moves to the next thing/page. The only noise he makes when he is reading is if he see's something he recognizes like, "ball", "manny", "quack quack", ect.He is transitioning to only one nap a day (against my will, haha) but still sleeps for a good 2.5 hours when he naps.
Carter goes to bed about 8:30 pm and wakes up about 8 am.
He makes the sounds of a kitty, dog, bee, monkey, train, elephant, chicken, duck and tractor.His vocabulary has EXPLODED in the last few months, it includes, hi. no. yes. ball. bath. thank you. mama. dada. out. baba. juice. nana. hot. shoe. baby. kitty. dude. cheese. oh no. i do. i NEED. i know. i don't know.
Carter LOVES to go to the park. He loves everything about it, the slides, swings, bridge, all the other kids, and especially checking out all the cool bike tires on all the bikes at the park, haha! He also loves to count everything... 2, 2, 2, 2. so funny!
Almost everything I tell Carter he responds, I know. It cracks everyone up, never known a boy who knows so much, haha!!Carter loves strawberries and can down a carton in a day or two.
Carter loves Mickey mouse, handy manny and chuggington.
He would play outside all day if I would let him, he LOVES the outdoors just like his mommy and daddy.One of the favorite things about Carter is how much he LOVES babies. He pets their heads and says "awwwwww" and then tries to take care of them. If they cry he gives them a binkie or a baba. He loves to makes babies smile and laugh. It makes me feel 100% better about how he is going to react to our new baby.I love being this little guys mommy more than anything in the whole world!!!
