Carter Walking at the Mall of NH

He's getting stronger and stronger!

Carter walked the entire Mall of NH with his walker. People were stopping and watching and smiling and telling him what a good job he was doing. He would stop and look at people and smile and make sure they were watching him - yes that's my HAM- he even would stop at pretty girls and watch them walk away - yes Daddy's Boy-!!!!!! Chase was encouraging him to follow and when he got tired he would stop and sit at a bench. 1st we walked to the choo choo trains, then we walked to the carosel, Finish Line to see Emily, to the playarea - then we POOPED OUT!!! He walked so much today and played so hard that Mike and I were both in shock and exhausted from following him everywhere!

The best part of the Mall was the projector. In front of StrideRite there is a projector on the ceiling that projects a game on the floor and the kids have to stomp on the game to play. Chase has always loved this part of the mall and Carter always has sat in his stroller or crawled on the game. He always seemed a little frustrated that he could not STOMP on the games with his brother. Well tonight Carter got to STOMP!!!! Carter Stood up holding one hand with Mike and he STOMPED like crazy giggling and laughing hysterically. Which of course made Chase laugh and giggle hysterically which obiously drew a croud and you see the pattern here....HAMS!
A couple of times Carter fell on his bum and without grabbing Mike he tried to stand up all by himself, he got up on both feet, stuck his bum out and kind of balanced for about 10 seconds maybe 15 seconds then plopped back on his bum. When Mike helped him get up he barely used Mikes assistance at all. We are just so stinking proud of our little man!!!!!
