Carter’s age: 8 months, 5 days

I am finally finding time to sit down and write about what’s been going on in the Jones house. Carter has changed so much in the last month. Much to the excitement of his mother, Carter has said his first words. He has been saying mama and dada, but I think he is still just babbling and not using these words discriminately. However, after many months of hearing “Get down Bella”, “Go away Bella”, “Leave Carter alone, Bella”, “Carter, that’s Bella’s ball”, etc. Carter started saying “Beh-wuh” when he would see our dog. It has been so cool! It also makes Bella’s role in our family seem much more worthwhile.

Carter’s physical development is changing daily. He started pulling up June 9th. He started crawling on all fours shortly after that. He is also able to feed himself some things such as Cheerios, rice puffs, bagels, and banana pieces. His third tooth recently broke through the skin. He is such a busy boy, moving all over the house and playing with everything he sees.

I hope to post more pictures soon!

We had a fun time seeing everyone on Memorial Day weekend! Here are some pictures from the ranch:
