The Walking Saga
Carsten is walking, however, he still prefers to scoot or crawl. He will now stand alone for a long time in the middle of the room. With strong encouragement he will take a few steps and with really strong encouragement he will walk longer distances. He is even moving on his feet and hands at times. He doesn’t trust himself, but he can do it! He is just a few days shy of being 17 months, so he did walk before his brother. It is so fun to watch them grow.
He is also cut at least 1 more tooth that I have seen and his little gums are so bumpy he is bound to have more and more coming through. It doesn’t stop him from eating anything! His favorites right now are cereal bars and anything from someone else’s plate. Mark comes home from work after we have had dinner and often Carsten will stand by his chair and beg for food from his plate. He was so bold the other night that he picked up 1/2 a chicken breast right off Mark’s plate. So funny!
