Anne Carter is 11 Months Old!

Standing

A couple of weeks go I took Anne Carter to the pool. We were sitting on the ground playing with some toys when she just all of sudden stood up. I spent the rest of the time with my phone ready to snap a picture just in case she did it again. Well, she did it a couple of times and I got the shot. Of course for some reason it would not let me save it so I had to take a picture of the screen with my camera. So here it is, documented with pictures! I think she looks like a Sumo wrestler in he bottom one!

A Little Rascal?

The other night after Anne Carter's bath I was brushing her hair and somehow it ended up like this.













I don't know what made me do it, but sometimes her usual side swept hair can get messed up by a blanket, etc and can look like a butt cut. It also is easy to twist a strand or two from the top of her head and make it stand up.













Do you think she looks like Alfalfa? I may have just found her Halloween costume! Throw on some freckles, high-water khakis and a shirt buttoned all the way to the top?

By the way, she had the best time playing naked on the floor with all of her pacis! She could not decide which one to put in her mouth and which ones to hold and was constantly switching them out.

Anne Carter is 10 Months Old!

I have been working on this post for about a week now! I would upload a few pics and then get distracted and not get to finish. Anyway, Anne Carter turned 10 months old on the 23rd. Her latest trick is standing up from a squatting position without holding onto anything. I do have a picture of that and I will try and post it soon. It only took bout 2 weeks from when her first tooth popped through for 4 others to follow. She now has 5 little chompers and has handled it great so far. Enjoy the pics!

First Tooth!

Anne Carter got her first tooth last Friday, August 14th! It was kind of funny because our friend Colleen texted me on Thursday to tell us that Mary Carlisle, who is 5 months old, had just gotten her first tooth and she wanted to know what we had done for pain. I had to tell her that well...Anne Carter does not have any teeth yet! Then, on Friday night Anne Carter was chewing on my chin and I thought it felt a little different. I actually just thought it was that hard piece of gum between your two front teeth, but I stuck my finger in there to see what I felt and I definitely felt her first tooth! She seems to be doing things a little out of order like crawling before sitting up, so I am not too surprised that she got her upper left tooth first (usually the bottom ones come first)!

Beach!

A couple of weeks ago, Anne Carter and I went to Wild Dunes for a few days to visit our friends. Pictured below are: Hampton, Edward, Julie & Berklee. We had good weather and really enjoying spending time on the beach.













I am always the one taking pictures, but Berklee decided that the hairdo she gave me was picture worthy. What do you think?










Anne Carter absolutely loved the beach in the late afternoon! South Carolina Beaches are great when the tide is out because they are big and wide and the waves roll up forever on the sand. It was perfect for her to crawl round and splash in the water. She ended up eating plenty of sand as well.

Favorite Noise

Anne Carter makes this noise all the time! I was finally able to get it on video. Usually when she see or hears me get the camera out she gets quiet and then tries to put it in her mouth. The other day at the grocery store she was doing this noise so loud. Everyone kept looking at her. We passed one lady going down the aisle who said, "I wondered where that noise was coming from!"

Hope to be back soon with more updates...not much sitting at the computer these days!
