Carter's First Pictures!
Well, the lucky little guy received his first camera today. Can you tell the we finally got tired of Carter trying to grab (and break) ours at every opportunity? The new one is totally indestructible, and even has a view-finder, like Mom's! It doesn't take the greatest pictures, but that really isn't the point, is it? Here is one of his first shots - well, he might have had a little help from Nana...
Some Carter-isms
Carter has had some particularly cute moments during the past few days... here are a few favorites:
"Aw, I love her!" said while hugging every animal, blanket and toy that we own.
When we were reading Noah's Ark, we asked Carter, "What did Noah do?" He promptly replied, "Ho! Ho! Ho!" Hmmm... I know they both have a white beard, but really?
"Oh, goodness! Oh, goodness!" repeated endlessly, whenever we are changing a poopy diaper. Apparently the smell even bothers him!
Carter grabbed his favorite stack of books (all bible stories - Thanks Gma Jan!), and sat down, saying, "Jesus? Yeah, Jesus!" And when he accidentally knocked one of the off the couch, he said, "Silly Jesus!"

Pillows, Blankets... Little People! Oh, my!
Carter has just discovered the immense joy that comes from hiding his toys around the house. Often, this means that he wanders around, very sad because he can't find what he is looking for... and can't remember just what drawer/box/closet he stuck it in. Last night, as Chris and I had just turned out the light, I hear Chris- "What the..?" Well, sure enough, there were at least 5 Little People thoughtfully stowed away inside his pillowcase. Comfy!!

My Little "Helper"
I decided to make banana muffins with Carter this morning. He is finally getting to the age where he likes to help stir and mash and all that fun stuff. We were SO close to finishing the batter... I was just giving it a final stir... when, my darling child comes up from behind and shakes a bottle of GARLIC POWDER over the bowl. He was so proud - "Carter put the sauce in!". Apparently I shouldn't leave the spice cabinet unattended...
YUM.
... don't worry... you can't even taste it :)

Jingle ... Hair??
Carter is at such a funny age. He is starting to create his own song lyrics set to the songs he knows. Today, he found some Christmas ornaments in a box, and proceeded to sing, "Jingle Ball, Jingle Ball..." for the ball ornament... then "Jingle Frosty". Later, while I was holding him, he was playing with my hair, singing, "Jingle Hair, Jingle Hair, Jingle all the way!" So musical :)

Christmas Pageant
Grandma and Granddad took Carter to the Phoenix First Assembly Christmas Pageant yesterday. It is the most amazing show - singing, 'flying' angels, real tigers, elephants and camels. Carter was in awe of it all! He is still talking about the angels - "Carter touch the angels? Noooo! Angels are up high!" Precious :)

October - At the Zoo
So happy!
Carter and Mommy on a Camel Ride
Carter loves the Tractor!
He has a total fascination with pumpkins... maybe next year we'll actually carve one??
We have a pass to the zoo, which we have been using a lot lately. Carter can't seem to get enough of the animals! He loves to bring the wagon, but he doesn't always want to sit in it. He prefers to be Mr. Independent and just walk. These pictures were from an October visit - thus the pumpkins :)
