Carter Update

For as long as Carter has been able to talk he's had a hard time with the "TH" sound in the middle of words. He says mudder{mother}, fadder{father}, udder{other}, brudder{brother}, anudder{another}. You get the idea. The other day, out of nowhere, he began saying, "mother". It was so exciting, we've been practicing all the other hard to say words. He is very proud of himself, and still has to think about it to get it just right. I'm a little sad, that his little boy speech is turning into big boy speech, but am glad that he's developing new skills.

He thinks it's so fun and funny to say mother, that he calls me "mother" all the time instead of the regular old, "mom". I've asked him to please say "beautiful mother" instead, and so far it's really boosting my ego!
