Dinner Time

It can get pretty crazy around Carson's dinner time...I'm usually husling around trying to get it all pulled together while Carson follows me around crying (Dad is usually on his way home from work), so I've started pulling out our little step ladder so that he can climb up and be apart of things. He absolutely loves it...especially when he gets to use utensils like mine...the only difference being I use them to cook with and he uses them to bang with! :)

Wet Snow is still Snow!

Saturday

Dan and I took Carson to the Children's Museum Saturday morning. We were both quite surprised at how outgoing he was with no friends with us. When we were in the little city area there were about 5 other little boys (probably 4-6 years old) and Carson would go right up to them and watch them play. He especially enjoyed sitting in the driver's seat and getting to play with all the bells and whistles.

Oma's Last Night

Last Wednesday was Oma's last night with us. We had all the Grandparents over for a little while and Carson was enjoying all the attention. Below are a couple photos of him with his Grandma's and a couple with Grandpa Gary. Grandpa Mark also stopped by for a bit but Carson had already hit the crib by then.

One of the dominant signs for a Leo is the fact that they LOVE to be the center of attention. While all the Grandparents were gathered around, Carson showed off his claim-to-fame...collecting shoes and giving them back to his owner. Here are two video clips I took of his enthusiastic show.

Slam Dunk!

Dan thought it would be funny to slam dunk CJ since he was putting anything and everything through it anyhow. Although he was a bit concerned part of the way he managed to work through it and wiggled his way out...

Photos with Oma!

Buggy Ride for CJ & AA

CJ's First Basketball Hoop

Oma took Carson to Toys-R-Us while she was in town visiting. One of her gifts for CJ was a basketball hoop. He loves to dunk anything and everything through the hoop!

Visit from Oma

Carson's Oma is in town visiting. The last time she saw him was last November at his Baptism. He has grown a TON since then! Here are a couple photos of them playing on the first night of her visit...he was showing off like crazy!

Sound Asleep

Last weekend I ended up having to wake Carson up from his nap because it was nearing 3-hours (an all-time record). I was able to turn the light on and snap a ton of photos before I had to take it to the next level and jostle him awake!

Costco Helper

Not only does he help hold the stuff in the cart but he unloads too!

Grammie w-the Grandbabies

What a great way to celebrate a birthday!

Carson's First Haircut

After 16 1/2 months of slowly growing some hair, Carson was finally ready for his first haircut! What a great way to start the New Year! Carson occupied himself with his favorite snack (as of today) pretzels, while Mom chopped and Dad took the photos. I was quite surprised at how much needed to be taken off...I guess I grew too fond of the little hair he did have that it took me longer to see that the cute little lock in the back was turning into a pony tail!

Drum roll, please...

Yup, there it is, the first snip! Only about 3 more to go...
