Life with the Lin Family

Last week Carter started walking with his walk to ride who goes by the name of “Lion” in our house. It is the most adoreable thing to watch him wiggle and waddle as he pushes Lion everywhere. I am now a professional “chaser” and “turner”. I am expecting he will walking on his own within the next week or two at most.

Yesterday on the way home from church Jimmy and I were discussing how Carter is really started to come into his own personality. We originally recognized alot of Daddy’s laid back characteristics, but the older he is getting I am afraid I am seeing more of myself in him, yikes. Yesterday at church he did NOT want his diaper changed by one of the nursery workers and made sure that was known with a little temper tantrum followed by some dirty looks once the change was over. He had long been through crying when Jimmy went to pick him up but he made sure to give a few dramatic deep breaths as soon as he saw Daddy to emphasize how upset he had been.

At home I have been dabbling in a little discipline with him. He understands “No” from me and like to respond assertively with “DOH” when he hears it. Right now it’s cute, we will see how long that lasts. Oh man, we’re in trouble :0) Look at this face though…
