Yes, another week has blurred on by and now I sit down to attempt to remember something about it. Carter continues to get stronger, faster and more talkative, although he's still just shouting random syllables. (BAH!) I keep wanting to add "Humbug!" to the end of that one. He's putting all things in his mouth as always, but a new game has started where he tries to take something out of his mouth and put it in mine. If he succeeds, then he takes great pleasure in reclaiming whatever it is and sticking it right back where it all started. Big grins all around.
We've been going to the YMCA for several weeks now to take swim lessons, but on Wednesday Cierra took a few hours off from her 17 jobs and joined us for a family swim day. Carter showed off his moves, which mostly consist of floating around with a dazed look on his face. He is really good at crawling out of the pool if he gets close to the edge. (That is a survival skill, so yay for Carter) Reach and pull, buddy!
This is the week Carter discovered soy yogurt. Well, actually I found it at the store and figured that it couldn't hurt to try this stuff since Carter was turning his nose up at real yogurt. I tasted a little bit before giving it to him and it tasted like yogurt and whole wheat flour, with maybe a little talcum powder mixed in. Imagine my surprise when he gobbled down most of the container in one sitting! He's a hungry boy! Also on the menu this week, rice crackers. He thought it was a toy until I sat right across from him holding another one and slowly ate mine, taking tiny bites. Pretty soon he was going after it, using his new teeth to break off big chunks and then gumming them to death. 
Carter's also taken to enjoying the occasional cigar, Cuban of course. Just kidding, that's a log from the back of Carter's tiny logging truck. They are excellent for chewing. And why not? Everything goes in his mouth, so everything must be for chewing.
