Carsten is officially 9 months old today, 10/21/13! It doesn't seem possible that he is already that old. However, to look at him, you would believe it. In the last 2 days people have thought he was both 1 (in person) and 2 (in a picture)! Apparently, he looks "healthy." We're pretty sure that's the polite way of saying fat and/or huge haha :) After he learned to crawl, within a week he had figured out how to pull up on things. He currently cruises all around the furniture, and has even perfected standing up against the wall, a door, etc. We fear that walking may be just around the corner, which in Carsten's world is more likely to be running. Overall, he is a very happy, fun-loving little guy. He is hardly ever un-happy unless he's hungry or tired, or possibly if his impending teeth are bugging him. We've said it before, but we are very blessed to have such a wonderful child. He feels our hearts will joy daily!
Jayden is also doing well. He is having a great school year, and had a great football season as well (ok, not great, but he did improve quite a bit). His last game went out with a bang....low 40s and raining (hard), but his team stuck it out and lost...again....to keep a perfect losing record. Oh well, there's always next year. He seemed to have a lot of fun. The next activity that he wants to participate in is Ice-Skating lessons in the winter, followed by Baseball.
Here are a few pictures and movies of Carsten over the last few weeks. I need to be better about getting more pictures of Jayden, sorry.
For those of you that haven't heard of Bucket Fillers...the concept is that doing good things for people makes them happy, but also makes you feel good too. Jayden wrote this message for me on his white board yesterday. It melted my heart! He can be such a sweet boy!!! The picture is a heart letter with wings, next to a mailbox.
