New Words and So Much More

Carter's vocabulary has exploded again. He has lots of new words, including zoo, play, boat, house, pee, poop, and many more. He's still not very clear and often needs us to translate, but we're getting closer to having conversations.

When Carter doesn't know the answer to a question we ask or where something is at, he'll tap his chin or lips with his index finger and make a "hhhhmmmmm" sound. It's so cute! I need to get a video of this.

When I ask Carter if he wants me to help him and he wants to do it himself, he'll tap his chest with his hand and say his name (which sounds something like "car-car").

Carter likes to be silly when doing puzzles with us. He'll often put a piece in the wrong place and then look at us out of the corner of his eye with his eyebrows raised. Then he'll shake his head, say "no", and put the piece in the correct spot.

Carter picks up actions from books really easily. Some recent things were looking up and looking down. Brian's the best at teaching him new stuff like this.

When Rylan is crying in the car and finally stops, Carter will say "yea!" (which often startles Rylan and gets him crying again). Sometimes Carter will keep saying "mama" as if asking for me to make Rylan stop.

Carter and Rylan are interacting more and more. Carter is good at making Rylan laugh at him. He also gives Rylan hugs and kisses all day long. Hopefully they are going to be good playmates soon!
