I just had to get a video of Carter walking in his brace. It has been one week since getting the brace and in one more week we will be getting some more x-rays to check on the status of the break. It was an excellent idea to put on the removable brace. There have been numerous times that I find sand, dirt, rocks in the brace when I take it off for bed or a bath. He does pretty well when the brace is off, but knows very well that it is better to crawl because walking is still pretty painful.Carter loves to be outside and is very fascinated by animals: squirrels, bunnies, bird, and best of all dogs. In Carter's world they all say "grrrrrr". I officially put Carter's bottle away; kind of sad that his is getting so big. He just has grown up so much in the last couple of months. He seems to understand so much. He is not talking much, but I can tell him so many things and he will do it. He continues to be an excellent sleeper sleeping about 11hours at night with a 3 hour mid-day nap. Food has suddenly become of interest to him once again; this seems to come and go. His love for Taylor is quite obvious. I'm not quite sure why this is. Hailey does seem to "mother" him a bit more and therefore Taylor gets lots of snuggles and open mouthed kisses. Carter does have one down fall and that is he has temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way. He does them by falling to the ground on his stomach then rolling back and forth---The funny thing is that he does them quite gently since he has hurt himself in the past, but feels that he still needs to get his point across.
