You made it!

You did it!  You DID make it!  I was beginning to wonder, but you beat the one year mark!  YOU'RE WALKING!  I just THOUGHT you were a man on the move when you started crawling.  You are UNSTOPABLE now, Buddy! 

I love how you walk like a drunk man - keep working on that balance.  And you're determined not to fall, so you run.  I've got to get this on video - what am I waiting for? 

And you're so smart!  I'm your momma, of course I'd say that.  But it's true! 

I love to make you "say" please in sign language!  We're so blessed to have Grandma and Grandpa Koop love you and teach you so many big boy things! 

Your "thank you" looks a lot like your "blowing a kiss," but keep working on it!  At least it is consistent!  Now we just have to teach you to SAY please and thank you. 

You're just growing up too fast my Carter Boy!  I love you!
