Dear Carder

You turned 9 months too last week. We're so happy you're apart of our family. It's been so fun to be your parents and watch you grow and enjoying you. Here are a few things about you:

- You love to smile and giggle. One of the ways we can tell you apart from your brother is that when you smile you have the cutest cheeks I've ever seen. You giggle at just about anything and sometimes during church you'll just start giggling and it's so cute I don't even try to stop it.
- You are easy to tickle and playing with your foam giraffe always makes you laugh.
- At the moment your favorite toy is the spring door stopper-thing in the play room. It entertains you for a long time.
- I can say without hesitation that you love to eat. You get very angry when I give a bite to your brother and sister. You sit there with your mouth wide open waiting for the next bite. I don't know how much you weigh, but you're heavy. You're already wearing 18 month clothes!
- You have a very sweet and peaceful demeanor. And I promise, you could not be more handsome. It's ridiculous how cute you are!
- To calm yourself you suck your pointer finger and your middle finger on your left hand. Thank goodness for that. You are a great sleeper!
- Until yesterday you showed no desire to crawl around. You're just starting to scoot. You probably learned that to survive around your brother and sister and get the toys that you want, you better learn how to get there first.
- Mom loves it how you try to give her slobbery kisses.
- Your bottom two teeth have come in and they could not be cuter. You think it's funny to shake your head and try to eat everything in site.

We can't imagine life without you Carder. You are so sweet and make everyone around you happy. We love our Carder Boy.


Love, Mom and Dad

I love the picture of Carder on this post, what a thoughtful expression he is wearing. He calms himself with the two fingers Ander uses, I never used to think it was cute but obviously I've changed my stance on that :)
