Birthday Party!

Last Saturday we officially celebrated Carson's birthday by having our families come over for lunch. I had made chicken, pasta salad, corn on the cob, a variety of fruit and sweet treats for everyone. We stuffed our faces and had a great time. Andrew's cousin Lindsey was nice enough to take pictures for me at Carson's party so that is why there has been a posting delay, thank you for your patience.

I have complied a slide show of the day, enjoy!!

Carson didn't eat as much of his cake like I was expecting, but he did get the frosting all over his hands and face so the pictures turned out good. It was funny to see him (or Tanner actually) open his presents. Carson was extremely opinionated about certain ones that he didn't want other people to touch or take away from him. After the presents were opened he went outside and played T-ball with Uncle Dave and Dad while the elves got busy assembling his other toys.

I would like to thank all of the family that was there to celebrate with us, it wouldn't have been a party without you. We are so glad that we live close and get to share these happy occasions with you.

Father's Day

Andrew is the BEST Dad!

He has the magic touch when Carson is worked up, he isn't afraid of changing diapers (although if you were to ask him he would tell you otherwise), he will carry the diaper bag (my handbag), he is a park regular, and usually is the one pushing the stroller-lucky me. I am so proud that he is the Father of our Son.

It is so awesome for me to see them interact and play together.
Every time Carson sees Andrew, he just lights up...apparently I evoke the opposite response (see pic. below)

I thought it would be a fun tradition to take pictures of Carson in the shirt that Andrew wore to the hospital the day he was born, Carson wasn't too happy about it but as a result they are very candid...that's real life for you.

He's not sure whether to laugh, or cry. The funny thing is that I was trying to bribe him the M&M's and that didn't work as well as I had hoped.

Oh, looks like crying won. I think he is still cute even when he is mad.

What did you do for Dad? Do you have any Father's Day traditions?

Someone's One!

Happy Birthday Carson!

Ever since we laid eyes on you, we have been filled with awe and love. We have enjoyed seeing you grow and experience the world around you.

Hopefully every year doesn't go by as quickly as this one seemed to.

To our boy, that's not quite so little anymore, we love you.

Some things that he likes to do include:

watching Sesame Street

helping me clean

water "sports"
(I promise he doesn't normally hang out in his diaper but he was having so much fun so I took his clothes off and let him have at it!)

exploring the great outdoors

drummer boy, rocking out with Dad...but seriously if he isn't able to play he totally freaks out.
Another thing that he does is when he hears music he will either start tapping something or he rocks his body to the beat, it is pretty cute.

He is still working on his balance but that doesn't stop him from getting into everything.
