Bring on the Food!

Surveying my options
Trying it out
Learning to drink from a sippy cup
Thanks, Steve & Emily, for the sippy cup--I love it! RTR!
Carter had his 9 month Dr. appointment on Thursday. Dr. Bergsten said that she couldn't be happier with his growth and development. He weighed in at 19lbs, 8oz and is 29 and 3/4 inches tall (35% and 90% respectively). He was NOT happy to be at the Dr.'s office and was as clingy as I have ever seen him!
We got the ok to feed table food and she encouraged us to start him drinking from sippy so that he could be off the bottle around his birthday. Carter started his table food yesterday morning--he ate pieces of a blueberry muffin at school. His teacher called me to say he was loving it! She said he was shoveling it in, licking his lips and fingers and just loving being at the table with everyone else.
Nick and I offered him pieces of banana, cheese, and biscuits this morning. He wasn't too into the banana and cheese, but loved the biscuit. He hasn't mastered the sippy cup yet, but he sure looks like such a big boy trying!

Yeah Carter! You are such a big boy. I can't wait for you to show off your new tricks when you visit Bama!

Before you know it, you will be eating Poppies' ribs with the rest of us--or at least gnawing on a bone! Looking forward to the beach trip!
Love you!

At this rate he will be leaving for college next week. Will you please hurry and bring him back south so we can make a southern boy out of him.
