12 months!

Wow....12 months old!! I cannot believe Carson is a year old already! I also cannot believe how much joy this little man has brought into our lives! It's hard for Nick and I to imagine our lives without our little guy.

A year ago, we were in a hospital, snuggling with our precious baby boy.



Now, we are chasing after our little walker, and hoping we get at least one snuggle in a day. :)

Carson is doing so many exciting things right now. He is:

-Walking all over the place! He also just started standing up on his own.

-Plays peek-a-boo with his hands, or by turning his head away and looking back at us again, or by hiding behind the couch and then popping out on the side with a big grin. :)

-He does "Soooo big" by himself. He tries to say "Soooo" with his arms in the air, and then brings his arms down on "big."



-Loves to "help" fold the laundry. :)

-Tries to say "banana," "cup," "dada," "so big," "all done," and other words that I can't think of right now. He babbles constantly, and loves to make other sounds like whistle, smack his lips, and roll his tongue like a Spaniard. :)

-He consistently signs, "more" and "all done" and is working on "please" and "drink."

-Loves swimming lessons, but is not so sure what to think about baby lapsit at the library. :)





-Shakes his head, "no thank you."

-Loves music and books.

-Is able to get several objects when we ask him to get them. (His receptive language impresses me each day!). It's amazing what he understands. :)

-He finished nursing on his 1st birthday, and now only drinks from a cup with a straw or a spout.

-Loves pretty much everything we feed him, except broccoli. :)



-Loves being outside.





Happy belated birthday Carson!! You are such a miracle, and we are so thankful for you!! We do not take for granted that God entrusted Carson to us. We are really trying to enjoy each stage he is at, because we know this season of life will not last forever, and one day, he will be in school, and then possibly off to college, and then hopefully one day married. So for now, we will just enjoy this stage of life. Happy belated birthday Carson!! :)
