getting so big!!

What a big boy!!!

boy oh boy...I love carson at this age. He can understand us and we can understand him! He is talking more and more everyday. He has adapted well to his new bed. He goes to sleep without crying. we do crack the door so he wont freak out when he wakes up. He usually wakes up around 6:30 now and comes into our room and lays with us for a few minutes before he tries to wake us up....UP mommy...MOMMY UP UP. or he will tell chad...daddy eat...EAT. Its cute to see carson following chad to the bathroom and get ready for work...he just watches intently to everything that chad does. He adores his daddy and chad says...that carson is "freaking awesome". Which I have to agree with chad...carson is such a good kid. This morning when I was walking down the stairs with him to get him breakfast...he stops and looks up at me and said.."I love you". It was such a cute moment. He is starting to be more independent and doesnt need me to be by his side all the time to play. He likes to read, play with puzzles and play with his trains. and he loves all the girls!!

Carson and Angela...look how happy he is!!

Guess who got a new bed?!!

A brand new bunk bed for a big boy!!!!

After much thought and "talking"....chad and I decided it was time to get carson a new bed. I wanted to get him a full size bed- chad wanted to get him a twin size bed. In the end he got a bunk bed. But for right now we are using the top bunk for carson since it has the side rails already attached. Once he learns how not to move around so much then he will get an additional bunk bed put on.

Carson was so excited to be getting a new bed. He was even more excited to be able to help daddy put it together.

After 2 hours of hard work, Carson successfully took his afternoon nap in his BRAND NEW BED!!!

All pooped out!!!

However, right now its 9pm when carson's normal bedtime is 7:30pm. He is still wide awake and crying that he doesnt want to sleep in his bed. Boy does Chad have his work cut out for him this week to train carson to sleep in his bed without getting up!

After Carson's nap, we went to visit nin-nin for Papa D's birthday! I made a carrot cake for him and it was delicious and moist!!! Carson was swimming the whole time we were there. He loved the water and was fearless on the water slide! He had a blast!!

And to top the day off...his auntie Christine came over to visit and he had fun chasing her around the house and dancing the night away!

san antonio -memorial day weekend

SAN ANTONIO- MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
Well, we wanted to go on one last family outing with just the 3 of us, we wanted to have a little fun with just carson...before the little girl comes along in august. It was a great time! The drive wasnt so bad at all. carson was sleeping for a good part of it. The first day we got into san antonio around 5ish. We stayed at the Emily Morgan Hotel, which was really nice. It was located right next door to the alamo and 2 blocks from the riverwalk.

MOMMY AND CARSON AT THE RIVERWALK!

We went to eat dinner at a mexican restaurant on the riverwalk and the Carson had a blast listening to the band. Daddy even paid them $10 for them to play one song for carson. He was dancing and all smiles!

MOMMY AND CARSON IN FRONT OF THE ALAMO!!!

The next day we went to Sea World...Carson really got into the show, compared to just a month ago at florida. He got excited when he saw the whales jump out of the water. We didnt really ride many rides there, but there was a water park there as well and Daddy and Carson played and splashed in the the wave pool and the water slides.

Carson chillin with the sea lions!

Carson really liked the water, even though he went under water at times...he didnt want to leave the water park. He kept trying to run away from us and jump in the pool. They played at the water park for 2 hours in the scorching hot!! It was close to 100 degrees outside!!

I being 7 months pregnant felt like a beached whale...trying to hide in the shade. Boy, I was sweating out of every pore on my body!! Carson and Daddy were worn out and we went to the hotel to take a nap before meeting up with Chad's buddy victor. On Sunday we went to the outlet mall in san marcos!! That was mommy's favorite part!

(what can be better than that?!)

First communion and Jayson's birthday!!

What an eventful weekend it was... Jimmy received first communion - can I get a hallalejua! I am so proud of uncle rodney for following through with all the classes and pushing little jimmy!

It was so funny, when jimmy was going up to receive first communion and drink the wine, he asked the lady that was holding the wine...Do I have to drink all of it?! lol. How cute is that.

We also celebrated Jayson's birthday -he turned one! He had lots of party guests and had a lot of fun! Stephanie did a great job putting it all together.

We went to the metromom event this morning - it was a lot of fun. we went to this venue called going bonkers. It had tons of climbing things for carson...Chad went up with carson and towards the end of the event - chad was exhausted. Carson was pooped out as well but had a wonderful time. Carson won the tot obstacle course and Chad won the dad a thon where he had to change a baby dolls diaper with one hand behind his back, drink 2 oz of water from a bottle and then remove the diaper and place it on a plate. He did great!!!

As for me..it was no contest for the hula hoop contest- with this big bump in front of me..I did good for lasting a minute!! But it was fun none the less.

Afterwards, Carson decided he wanted to try out his new birthday present that the wang family gave him...a cool swimming playarea!! He LOVED it!!!

Mothers day weekend!!

What a beautiful weekend it was! I cant believe I have been a mommy for 2 years already! I was just telling chad that I dont remember what life was like before Carson. Being a mother has been one of the best gifts!

Carson getting ready for mothers day luncheon

Christine helped chad and carson pick out a beautiful purple dress for me on mothers day along with one of my favorite themed cards hoops and yoyo! We started the morning out celebrating mothers day at diana with breakfast at her house and ended up at uncle rod's house for family dinner. We usually celebrate everyone's birthday on their birthday weekend, but for the past 2 months...it has been really busy busy busy and we havent gotten a chance to celebrate everyone's birthdays. So sunday we celebrated 7 birthdays!! Talk about cake overload!!

Happy Birthday!!

Carsons turns 2!!

Wow, how time flies! Carson is already turning 2 years old! I cant believe my last post was back in January. There has been so much happening since then. Carson has been growing up right before our eyes!! He looks like a little man now and not my little baby. I took him to get his haircut and didnt know what I was doing - and managed to get his hair buzzcut!

Hanging around at his friend's Matthew's bday party

It snowed a few times...one day we got 6 inches of snow. it was so pretty! Mommy and carson made a big snow man..carson kept eatting the fruit snacks that we used for the mouth and buttons. Mommy and daddy had a snow ball fight and carson thought it was so funny!

His daddy gave him a birthday party at chuck e cheese on his actual birthday...although mommy had to work - everyone had a great time and carson loved spending time with his cousins! He loved his Dora the explorer cake and partied till his bedtime!

Birthday party at chuck e cheese

After the chuck e cheese celebration...we decided to celebrate at Disney World! Mommy, daddy, carson, aunt christine, uncle eric, paw paw, and pou pou, and aunt trina all went to orlando for vacation. Carson had so much fun at disney world! He rode a roller coaster , played in the water, and got to eat with his favorite disney characters pooh and tigger. His highlight of the trip was being able to give tigger a fist bump! Carson really started to talk a lot on vacation - he even swam with his floaties!

Fist bumping Tigger!!

new year!!!

Carson had a great time at home with the family. He was chasing them around like he was a big kid! He is so fortunate to have so much family especially one that loves him so much.

Merry Christmas One and All!!!

The visit to Shreveport was a very short one, but a great one! All the kids are getting so big so quickly!

the cousins club!!

Carson stayed up till 4am opening gifts! He got the hang of it pretty quickly!

Carson in his cars suitcase!! he is ready for packing!

Our house looks like a disaster zone with all the toys everywhere. He especially loves his leapfrog tag jr books and his zhu zhu hamster which totally scares bruiser to death! Bruiser tore up one of carson's stuffed animals he got for christmas and he was trying to stick bruiser in timeout. it was a cute site. We had a few people over for new years, carson loved hanging out with his friend matthew and especially loved jumping on the air mattress with him and chasing him around the house. The next morning he was looking all over the place for matthew. However, the new year did not start off exactly how we would have liked..I came down with Bells Palsy on the 2nd so have been battling with that for the past few days. Nothing can compare to carsons hugs and him trying to wipe my tears away.It was one of those mommy son moments that I will never forget!

Mommy and her men!!!

Carson has been trying to talk a lot more lately, I can pick up words every now and then but sometimes he looks like he is so excited about what he is saying that I hate to interrupt him. He keeps getting colds, I think its from his school because all the kids were sick with runny noses. We are starting to get him used to the potty...hopefully he will pick up quickly, but being a new mom..Im clueless on the process. Its been a great 2009, hopefully it will be a better 2010! Happy New year!
