I have teeth!

 

6 months and going strong

Strong - that is Carson in a nutshell! Actually, he is so strong there is no way you can confine him to a shape even close to a nutshell. The little wiggle worm prefers to stand, will hardly let you wrestle him into your arms to rock and actively scoots or rolls to get to anything he wants to. His latest move is scooting towards anything that he can grab onto to try and help pull him to a sitting/crawling/standing position. I would be shocked if he wasn't crawling by 7 months - he tries with all his might to do it everyday now.

Now for the gushy stuff - our little Carson is the sweetest, cutest, most chill little man ever. We are amazed daily at his adorable, even tempered, tolerant (of sissy of course), inquisitive and happy demeanor. We are so blessed to have had this wonderful little angel in our lives for the last six months!

My little princess turns 3!

 My precious baby girl turned 3. Wow. I cannot say it enough - time really does fly. We had an awesome birthday celebration for her this weekend with a Cinderella bouncy house castle in the backyard. She loved every minute of it! Thank you to all our friends and family for coming to celebrate with us and brinding her such wonderful gifts!

Carson's View of the World . . .

. . . just got a little more upright!



He is officially sitting up at five and a half months and he loves it. In fact, when he topples over, he is already trying to squirm and scoot to try and get back to a sitting position. He also loves the new perspective it gives him to watch anything and everything big sissy is up to. She is still his favorite person by far!

Thank you doesn't say enough . . .

. . . to the most wonderful daddy and hubby in the world! Sunday we celebrated Tanner's birthday and father's day at home, just the four of us. It felt like a normal, relaxing day (if having a three year old and a 5 month old is considered relaxing). However, there is nothing just normal about Tanner. He has been the best and most supportive husband a girl could ask for over the last five months when our home life changed dramatically. He is a man who puts his family first, is involved in everything at home from cleaning to cooking to bottle washing to kid's schedules and still finds time to bring home the bacon and keep the best yard on the block. I love him for everything he does to try and make my life better and easier on a daily basis. From Kenzie, Carson and I - thanks for all you do for us daddy!

Five months have already past . . . really?

I cannot believe my baby boy is five months old!! Seriously, where is the time going? He has grown up in the blink of an eye and well, actually, he has blown up too! Ha! We definitely have a big boy on our hands. My guess is he will be over 20 pounds by his 6 month check up. His chubby thighs might make you think he is too big to move, but our little guy is a mover and a shaker. He is rolling all over the place (can't keep him confined), starting to try and scoot or sort of army crawl on his belly, sleeping on his belly now and about to sit up!
