Christmas Already??!!

There's Thomas!!
BRRRRR..I feel like a penguin!
All Aboard the polar express!!!


Oh gosh, I cant believe that christmas is this friday! Wow, how did this year pass us by so quickly! I cant believe Carson is starting a new year with us! It has been SO busy and I have been literally exhausted trying to get the presents wrapped and preventing carson from opening them!! Carson helped daddy decorate the tree...sometimes he will go over there in the room and sit on the couch and just look at the christmas lights on the tree. Its pretty cute! I started giving carson his christmas presents little by little a few days ago so he could appreciate them a little bit more, I am sure he is going to have a ton of toys for christmas! We went to the gaylord to see the ice exhibit. It was nice,but Carson wasnt all into it and he certainly hated the parkas that we had to wear! Yesterday we went to see the trains at Northpark Mall...he really liked those. He was running around like a madman chasing the trains! Carson cant wait to see everyone for christmas!! we are going home on wednesday night!! That's the best christmas present ever...family!!

halloween!!

Today I was off and Carson and I went to the wiggly playcenter for some great fun! He got to wear his costume and was roaring all over the place! Carson has adapted well to school...he doesnt cry anymore when I drop him off...which is a step in the right direction! We took our christmas and halloween pictures at Jcpenneys last week and needless to say...it was VERY hard with Carson and Bruiser. How do people do it?!! Pou Pou and Grandpa are supposed to come in this weekend to spend it with Carson! We are very excited!

texas state fair!!! Its finally here






Cotton candy, turkey leg, corney dog, and lemonade!!! The state fair is finally here! Today we went to the state fair with our friends Amy, Marvin and Matthew. It was such a nice day although it got hot as the day progressed.

At the Midway...
We saw a dog show, the petting zoo and the farm. Carson really liked the little farm...he got to act like he was milking a cow, planting vegetables and feeding hens then collecting eggs. He was all about it, he had a apron and everything.


Life on the farm....




Carson making eye contact with the hen to distract from the fact he is taking eggs
He also played at the lego booth...he really enjoyed it a lot...I have a feeling he'll be wanting some for christmas!

By 2pm he was pooped and fell asleep in the stroller. What a great day it was!

first day of Montessori




SO, Carson went to his first day of Montessori... it was a BIG adjustment for not only him but for all of us. I teared up when I was leaving...carson was crying for me but I knew he would be ok. Chad said that when he was picking carson up at 11:30am he had just finished lunch and they were trying to put him to sleep...but Carson had OTHER plans...he was screaming his head off. I was so down all day today. Carson took his flu shot today...chad said that the nurse gave it to him in his leg and he didnt even make a noise. How brave is that!!! Carson is really starting to make a lot of sounds and speak in "babytalk". I have a feeling that he's going to be talking soon! I cant believe he is 18 months already...where does the time go? It seems like just a few months ago I was breastfeeding him and Now he is going to school??! He is so independent and fearless.... hopefully that will play to his favor!

disneyland!!!






So, we went to visit Trina in California and we went to Disneyland. Carson and Chad had a blast..it was hard to tell who of the two was having more fun. Carson rode all the rides, but his favorite one was the dumbo ride. He did really well while we were there with keeping with his schedule and he did OK on the plane ride although it was definitely a stressful ride for chad and I. Carson kept wanting to walk in front of our chair so he accidentally hit the chairs in front of us a few times...boy did we get some glares. Carson met Owen in california and they got along well,besides carson taking a BIG bite out of Owen's back. Poor guy!

We made it to Santa Barbara beach and farmers market. Carson got to play in the sand and ride the pony. He had a GREAT day! Carson is getting very independent and stubborn. He wont let us help him with anything and he is FEARLESS. The swine flu is going around pretty quickly...I have been washing Carson's hands all the time when we go out. Hopefully Carson wont catch it...but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Fun day at the arboreteum






Mommy and Carson!!!!



Today was my first friday off!! I was so glad to be able to spend it with Carson! Today we went to the arboreteum to listen to a speaker talk about the new phil and ted products.... It's pretty neat. The strollers are outrageous and they have a thing called the me too that connects to the table and acts like a high chair. Carson really liked the chair...AND to make things better...they GAVE us one!!! Some of the mothers were commenting about how good carson was...it kinda funny...that thats what they considered GOOD! lol. Afterwards Carson and I were able to walk around the arboreteum and have a good time.  He kept pointing to trees and saying "tree" and He kept running away from me and thought it was so funny!



" Yes Carson...its a TREE"!!!
  Carson running away from me and laughing!
IT was so hot today...his little cheeks turned all red and he was downing his milk! 

Carson went to the wiggly play center hula party with his cousin brigette....he had a great time!
He loved watching the girls hula dance and loved riding in his little push car...he even rode on the roller coaster with his cousin!!!

Brigette & Mommy

chuck e cheese!!!


Two of Carson's bottom teeth are coming in...and needless to say...he is GROUCHY! But he sure has a mouthful of teeth! So his rash from the MMR shot is gone and his eczema has cleared up pretty good with the new med his dermatologist prescribed him (Elocon). He is getting interested in books now...not so much sitting down and reading them, but at least he goes to get the books and turns the pages. I figured I should read to him when I am feeding him breakfast...at least he is in one place and I have his attention. He loves books that you have to lift the tabs, or has things that you have to feel. I can tell he is getting his own personality....he is so smart and curious and yet SO stubborn with lots of ATTITUDE!! I think he gets the latter part from his daddy! 
One of his favorite places to go is to Chuck E Cheese.... I finally got join him for lunch! Along with his cousins and aunts!!!

Double Trouble! They look so innocent....


On the airplane....going UP and going DOWN!!!


Giddy Up!!!  Carson's favorite ride!!

Bike Ride







Well, we bought a bike trailer..
hopefully we will use it. Chad took carson on a 2 and a half mile bike ride...and I could only make it twice around the neighborhood! Man, what a great workout! 

We went to pump it up jr...since his friend matthew had so much fun there. And it was really fun. Carson was doing the obstacle courses and had so much fun going down the slides!

On your mark...get set....GO Carson!!!!

Zoom Zoom Zoom!!!
 On saturday we went to see a car show, we got to see lots of neat cars and carson even got to eat a banana split!! Oh how he loved it so!!
Carson loves his daddy so much...he wanted to buy him something special....this is what he got..

Dad rules until mom gets home!!!

Story time at the library

What is she saying???
This is fun!!
We went to the haggard library storytime today...Carson had a blast. He sat still when they were reading the books and got up to do the dances! At the end of storytime, they started to pass out colorful hankerchiefs for the last song and when carson saw the basket full of the hankerchiefs, he got up from my lap and weaved in and out of the crowd straight to the lady...he put his hand out for a hankerchief and when she gave him one..you should have seen his face...He turned around with the hugest smile on his face and was practically running back to me to give it to me!! They blew bubbles for the children and he was running around popping the bubbles. He was so upset when it was time to leave.

First Run....


Today was Carson's first run with his daddy. Chad took Carson on a 3 mile run today on the jogging stroller. Carson woke up extra early today...5:30am, so Chad took the opportunity for an early run. You can tell from the picture that Carson just woke up!! Talk about bedhead!
I was a little worried, a little after they left I heard it thundering...but they came back safe and dry! Aunt Christine came to visit today....just a eat and run visit, but it was still nice to see her. 




      Daddy and me....what's going on??!!!

15 months old!!!





He's getting so big!

He's learning to eat with his own spoon/ fork

Carson had his 15 month check up today. He had his MMR vaccine today which I was a little leary about, but Chad said that he promised he'd take Carson to chuck e cheese if he was brave..so carson cried for a little bit, but got over it pretty quickly...especially when they made it to chuck e cheese. The doctor says that he is doing pretty good. Here is his measurements:
weight: 23.13 lbs (30%)
height: 33 1/4 in (95%)
head: 48 cm (75%)
He is looking good!!!
