Puzzle Pro

We gave Carter a big USA map puzzle and a big World Map puzzle for Christmas. Yesterday night he put together the USA puzzle entirely by himself and was naming off a majority of the states as he put them in! He knows Uncle Cory and his family lives in South Carolina and he knows he lives in Washington... except when he's putting together the puzzle he says he and daddy live in Ohio..... there is a picture of a football on the Ohio piece and he likes to play football with Brandon (I guess footballs are more exciting than apples).

Way to go buddy! You're growing up so fast!

Update to last post

... Max can climb stairs now too!.... I think.....
I just left Carter and Max up in the play room while I ran down stairs to make a bottle. When I came back upstairs (like 3 minutes later) Max was in Carter's room! Our play room is sunken by two steps, so to get to Carter's room he somehow made it up those steps. I asked Carter if he picked up Max and he said no. Sometimes I would ask him again to make sure but he was quietly building towers with his blocks and I assume I would've heard screaming if this had actually happened.... so my friends.... Max can now climb stairs. I don't know if this is a trick that he'll only do while I'm not looking.... I'm going to investigate more tomorrow.... not sure if I want him climbing steps yet.... YIKES! He's grown up fast in the last month!

Max is 9 months!

Max turned 9 months last Friday (1/8/10) and he's made a few developmental landmarks as well... He started crawling on new years day, he can go from crawling to sitting up by himself as of last week, on Sunday morning (yesterday) when I came into his room to get him out of his crib he was standing holding onto the rails!! Today he climbed up onto the treadmill by himself!!! Watch out world here he comes!
