Hi and Bye

Carter just started saying "hi" when he waves hi yesterday. And now today he started saying "bye" when he waves bye. For some reason he seems so much more grown up to me now that he can say these!

Carter also impressed me today with his building skills. Carter and Dominic got these Take-A-Part Airplanes from Brian's parents when we were at the cabin a few weeks ago.


You use the drill to take the screws out and the plane ends up in several pieces. Then you can put it back together.

Brian helped Carter take the plane apart a few times and put it together, and then Carter started doing a lot of it himself. Brian would put two pieces together and then Carter would find a screw, put it in, and drill it into place.

Carter was able to take apart the plane almost on his own. Brian would just hold the plane in place while Carter located a screw and used the drill to remove it.

Carter also knows that there are 2 different types of screws and that he has to change the drill bits. He can't get the bits on by himself, but he seems to know which one he needs for each part of the plane. It was very, very impressive.

Now I just need to get videos of all this stuff!
