Walking and Climbing

It's official, Carter is full fledged walking. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Even though we count him as walking a week before his birthday (he started taking steps) he is now walking all over the place without any help. His balance just seemed to click one day and he can stand up from a sitting position without the aid of another object.

He is also climbing into everything...the ottoman, his toy box, any table type toys that are off the ground...I'm seeing flashes of him getting out of his crib in the near future. Often when he's standing against something he'll bring his knee up like he's trying to climb over it.

We didn't get a lot of great "in stride" shots, but it's hard to try and take pictures while clapping and cheering.

Here is Carter playing inside the ottoman, one of his favorite things to open up and climb into.

And here he is climbing into the base of one of this table top toys.
