Roll Over Beethoven, er, Carter

Been a little lax in my posting, as work and life have all been pretty busy for us lately. Whoever finds the magical "balance" to all this will be a gazillionaire! I know it gets a little easier (my folks are saying "HA!" to that!), but in the end, it's all worth it, right?

Anyway...back to today's post...

You see, Carter has been trying like heck to roll himself over. He gets his little leg going (looks like he's trying to kick-start a motorcycle or something) and his technique paid off today! One time only, but he did it! I was folding up the laundry and had him on his belly and before I knew it, I wasn't folding anymore, I was cheering my boy on!

Daddy missed it (still out back working on the yard...), but we know it's just the beginning of his mobility! We tried again later and instead of rolling over, he just stuck out his tongue in concentration and decided giggling was more fun than any 'ol rolling over.

Had the camera nearby when we were trying for the repeat performance and got this goofy shot (yes, tongue still hanging out in utter concentration...and the afghan is handmade by Aunt Katrina):

Carter has really beefed up his giggling (especially when Daddy blows raspberries on his belly) and is quite a peach to be around (except when he's fussy from some pre-teething). We're gearing up for the big Greenfelder Luau in August, so he's working on his charm for all of our guests :)

Hope you have a great week!

PS Another THANKS to David for some super-babysitting-time while we went out to the Mayor's Charity Ball on Friday! Carter even sent us a text message after sundown saying what a great sitter David was! Who knew our boy was so techno savvy?!
