Kid Update

Last time we were at my parents' house, Spencer found one of my dad's Car and Driver magazines. He kept turning the pages and yelling, "Yeah, baby!" Guess he likes sports cars.

Carson is developing more of a personality all the time. When he finishes a meal or snack, he hands me his cup and says, "All done!" Last night Andy was changing a stinky diaper and (of course) exclaiming about how bad it smelled. He pinched his nose and said, "P-U!" Carson thought that was so funny, he started pinching his little fingers together near his nose and giggling. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, he opens his mouth wide in a shocked expression and then laughs. We call it "deeply shocked." He's such a little clown. He's been taking lessons from his brother.

By way of information, Carson is doing great with physical therapy. Our second appointment was Monday and the therapist was quite impressed with his progress. She keeps telling me how smart he is. He is now able to pull to stand, sidestep along the couch, and sometimes pivot around corners. We are encouraging him to crawl, since this helps him move his limbs independently and bring his legs and hips in more. He gets so excited when he knows he's doing something new. He claps his hands and his face beams like the sun.
