"DOG!"

Carter is learning new animal sounds everyday!! Brad has made a powerpoint presentation for her to look at every day with animals (17 to be exact). She knows most of the animals and what noise they make. She knows the sign for them too. Elephant has got to be her favorite one! But anything with 4 legs is usually a "DOG!" first. She is learning to say her name too!! We come down the stairs every morning and there is a picture of her at the bottom. She starts pointing to herself and saying "Car-ka, Car-ka!" It is pretty cute.
We are getting excited about Halloween!! Carter is going to be a pumpkin! (unless I can find a "DOG!" costume before Friday) We are going trick or treating on Friday morning with our playgroup at a nursing home! That should be fun! I have decided I am going to give out toys when kids come to our house trick or treating. HAHAHA! Just kidding. I am giving out toothbrushes and I am going to tell scary stories of my root canals! MuHahahahaha!

Well, more to come later!! I am sure we will have a load of pictures after Friday!

Pumpkin Pumpkin

Today we took Carter to the Pumpkin Patch! It was a Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch, complete with homemade root beer! She was quite shy in the pumpkins but warmed up after we gave her a little pumpkin to call her own. It got many hugs and a few licks!

She has developed a cute little, often difficult to deal with, personality. She has learned to point to things and say "DAT!" She woke up this morning and greeted Brad by saying "Dada Dada, Mama Mama Mama, Dada!" She babbles non stop and if she ever decides to use real words, we will have to start actually paying attention! It is easy to tune out these days! Dancing has become her favorite past time! Sometime she picks up on music playing that I don't realize is there until she starts dancing.

We decorated some pumpkins this weekend and put them on our front porch. She likes to pick her poor little pumpkin up and roll it down the steps! We have a feeling her pumpkin may have some internal damage right now!
