Cheeky Monkey

Today I ran a quick errand over at the mall and picked up some new tennis shoes for Carter. Since he's standing around, it's only a matter of time before he's walking. And well, the girls at school said it's finally time to be putting him in some shoes (I've put it off as long as I could...because, well, non-walking-babies and shoes...what's the point?!).

He's not QUITE walking yet, but he's starting to "cruise." Yep, grabbing on to furniture, chairs, our legs, etc. to get himself around. Actually pretty amusing, as you can almost SEE the little cogs in his brain working to figure out how to get from Point A to Point B! Also pretty funny to watch him "dismount" (as we call it)...it's just sort of a PLOP down on his tush. Good to see that he isn't one of those kids that freaks out because he can't figure out how to get down now that he knows how to get up!

Took a couple photos tonight while he was jumping (yes, jumping...) in his crib. I'm too lazy to adjust the red eye and well, he looks a little evil against the red wall, eh? (Click to make them bigger.)

In other news, he's got an appointment tomorrow with Dr. R to check out his rash on his cheeks. It's definitely gone down, but it's still hanging around. Doesn't appear to be itchy or burning or anything like that, it just makes him look goofy (and not nearly as adorable as he should be). So we'll check it out with the doc and have a report tomorrow.

As you can see in the next couple of photos, it's still red and still looks like he got a nice sunburn.
And this next one shows off his choppers pretty well...of which he has a new tooth on the bottom. Took a while for this one to come in, but finally it poked through. So our little man now has SEVEN teeth. More than any of the other babies in his class! That's right, he's an over-achiever already! Will post something quick tomorrow after the doctor's report, so cross your fingers that it's just something simple. Like my laundry detergent choice. Or something silly like fuzzy toys. Or whatever... Just something non-serious.

Alrighty, time to wash up some dishes. Have a great night!

  1. Carter looks so proud of his moves - and he should be!! Totally, adorably cute, red cheeks and all :0)

    And maybe the rash is just a side-effect of the teething? Or it really could be your detergent... Liam used to get irritated if I used anything other than Tide Free (no dye, no scent). But as long as it's not bothering Carter, I'm sure it's nothing serious either way!
