10 Months!

Happy 10 months Carson! I just can't believe how fast the time is going and what a big boy Carson is becoming.



This past month, Carson:
-eats pretty much all "big boy" food, just mashed up or cut into small pieces. The only food he doesn't really care for at this point is broccoli, so we will have to keep working on that one. :)
-pulls up to a standing position faster than the speed of light. :)
-walks/cruises from side to side while holding on to furniture.
-still does a very quick army crawl (more like the butterfly stroke in swimming), but does crawl on his hands and knees at times.
-signs "more" consistently.
-can stand on his own for a few seconds at a time.
-has 3 teeth...we call him our little hillbilly because he has only one tooth on the top. :)



Happy 10 months Carson...you are such a blessing to us, and we are so thankful for you!! :)

Happy 4th of July!

Carson attended his first parade on the 4th!



He did really well, but did not enjoy the loud noises of the marching band or car horns honking. Carson and I mostly hung out in the shade, while daddy fought for some candy. :) Let's just say Carson was more interested in my water bottle than the 4th of July parade...we still had a great time though. :)



On another note...Carson started signing "more" this weekend! We are really excited! I think it's pretty incredible that babies are able to communicate through sign language before they can verbally communicate.

All in all, it was a great weekend! :)

Baby Pool & Other Firsts

Yesterday, Carson swam/sat in his baby pool for the first time. He absolutely loved it! He especially loved to play with/chew on his bath toys, splash, and jump up and down in the water with mommy and daddy's help.





Also, since the day Carson turned 9 months, he started pulling himself up on furniture to a standing position. He also loves to imitate facial expressions, especially when someone says "oooohhhhh," clicks their tongue, and he can even whistle if someone whistles at him first. :) He also started clapping yesterday....so much fun!

We just love this little guy to pieces. :)
