9 Months Old

Carter is 9 months old today! He's starting to figure out so much!

Today Carter enjoyed handing small toys to us and us handing them back to him. Usually he refuses to give anything up! It was neat to see him willing to share.

Carter is starting to really like the ball popper my mom got him several months ago.


It used to scare him when we turned it on, but now he gives a happy scream. He likes to hold on to it while sitting on his knees and try to grab the balls before they shoot out.

We've nicknamed the little guy "Carter the Destroyer". We got a bag of Mega Bloks recently and Brian and I will build stuff while we play with Carter. As soon as we finish something, he loves to knock it down and pull it apart.


So, 9 months after giving birth to Carter, I am down to 5 pounds below what I was when I got pregnant (I'm currently at 122 lbs). Unfortunately I still can't get my stomach to tighten up. I see a tummy tuck in my future when we are done having kids! I got no stretch marks on my belly when pregnant but I really look like someone that was obese and lost a lot of weight quickly so they have a bunch of extra skin. But when I look back to my pregnancy pictures, it's amazing my stomach has recovered as much as it has! Carter was sticking so far out that I looked like I had a basketball under my shirt!
