Bye bye daddy

For the past few weeks Carson has been doing some really funny things that are so adorable. Every morning when daddy leaves for work, Carson runs to his room to look out the window to watch daddy go. He waves to daddy as he goes by, and then watches him go down the street. It is so darn cute! I missed the picture of him waving this time. Maybe next week!

Words!

Well, our little Carson is finally saying some words! It has been a long time coming. We have been worried that he hasn't started talking yet, but the past month he has really turned into quite the little jibber jabber. He has said Mama, dada and baba for quite a while but not much beyond that until just recently. His most favorite word right now is BALLOON! Sounds more like boon though. There have been some hot air balloons in the early morning around our house and every morning he tries to spot them out the window first thing! If he spots it he yells out BOON! He will stay there as long as he can see it, until it flies too far away. It is so darn cute. Just makes my heart melt! :) Other words we are enjoying him say are: juice, please, no, no mama, don't touch, duck, uh oh, whee, this, that, ben, ball, eww, out, off, shoe, and baby. We are so excited he is finally flourishing in his vocabulary. Last night we all sat down at the dinner table for dinner and Carson dominated the whole conversation. He was telling us quite the story with his little hands and all. It really brought a tear to my eye. We love you our little Carson! You are going to be 2 next month!

The joys of having a toddler!

I can't tell you how wonderful it is that we have a fun little boy that we can enjoy every minute with! My most favorite thing to do is play with him and watch him explore new things. He is the joy in our lives. We waited so long for our special boy. Our lives are now complete :)

Just a little peachy

We went to the big Peach Days in Hurricane! We had a lot of fun walking around and looking at all the displays. We ate some really good food and watched a little entertainment. It was a fun, relaxing Saturday... just the 3 of us :) It was really hot though. Carson came home with some cute rosy cheeks!

Water Fun!

Over the past few weeks, we have discovered that Carson loves playing in the water! So we have been taking him to the Town Square Water Park. It has been so much fun watching him have a blast! This weekend we are going to take him to the pool and see how that works out. I really think this is going to be a fun summer :)

Tunnel of fun!

Carson just LOVES his new tunnel and tent that he got for his first birthday! Thank you Auntie Jamie and Joni! :)

Catching up!

These are some of my favorite pictures from the past few months. From bottom to top: Carson's first airplane ride in October. We flew to the East Coast to visit my sister and her family. Carson was wonderful on the plane. He really had fun! On Halloween he was a chunky monkey!! He was so adorable, although he didn't really like the costume too much. Carson was Santa's little helper at Christmas. We dressed him up as a Christmas Elf and passed out candy to all the kids. Carson's first black eye at 9 mos :( He pulled this table over on himself and a picture frame that was on it hit him in the eye :( That was a sad day. Next thing you know... Daddy is bolting all the tables to the wall!
