Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!



Thank you for loving me so much and for taking such great care of me. Thank you for changing my diaper every night before my bedtime and reading to me my favorite books with your silly voices. :) Thank you for giving me the best baths, for playing with me whenever you can, and building towers out of my blocks and plastic cups so that I can knock them over. You are the best daddy a boy could ask for...I am so blessed to call you my dad! You set such a great example for me of what a man of God looks like. You work so hard, and I hope I can be just like you. I can't wait to tell you how much I love you next year, but for now, this will do. :) I love you so much...Happy Father's Day!
Love, Carson (with help from mommy). :)

Also, Happy Father's Day to our dads! We love you both! :)

9 Months!

Wow...9 months already...where has the time gone?! I feel like each month keeps getting more fun with Carson!



This past month, Carson started doing so many new things! It's been so much fun to experience life through his eyes!

This past month, Carson started:
-army crawling everywhere...we can't take our eyes off of him for too long anymore :).
-eats cheerios with a pincher grasp.
-babbles a lot, and finally said "mama." :)
-eats stage 3 foods, and likes them all.
-can hold and drink from a sippy cup (a little help is needed at times). :)
-squeals and giggles when he is really excited.
-can get into a sitting position from his belly on his own.
-can stand on his own while holding on to something.
-loves going for walks in his stroller and being outside.
-does not like the feel of grass. :)
-will come and find me if I leave the room for a second. :)



Man...we love this little guy so much and are so thankful for him and the joy he has brought to our lives! We love you Carson...happy 9 months!! :)

Moo!

This past weekend, we went to visit our families so Nick could join the Martin men for free fishing weekend in Wisconsin. Here is my hubby's catch of the day...a 20-inch Walleye...way to go babe!



While Nick was out fishing with his family, Carson, Grandma, and I went to look at the cows.



Carson may be a bit too young to appreciate the complexity of the bovines. :)
