Lost Camera

I know that everyone waits on pins and needles everyday for a new post about Carter and I apologize for the enormous delay.  We have lost our camera....or it is playing a very long game of hide and seek with us.  I have no doubt that it is somewhere in our house, but I have continuously looked and had no luck!  So, without visuals to add to the delight of any readers, here is an update:  Carter is walking...almost running, now.  He is so totally on the go...he climbs, squats, reaches and speed walks all of the time.  Carter is wanting to be up on everything and will adamantly demand that you pull him "DOWN" onto the bed or the couch.  I have tried repeatedly to explain that he is actually wanting "up", but the closest we have ever gotten was "pup" and that was only once.  Carter is talking.  It is actually kind of freaky...he says all kinds of things that I don't remember ever teaching him.  He says a lot of animal names, animal sounds, names, toy names, he even says pumpkin.  This kid is about to be smarter than me....I swear!  Anyway, we are having so much fun with Carter and he is so freaking funny.  When Carter says "carter" I could just melt.  I will post video or photos soon so that everyone can see how big he is getting. And, for now, everyone cross your fingers that we find the camera:)
