5, 6, 7.

Am I allowed to do a quarter recap? Moving = free pass.
Our little man continues to be such a joy. Here are some quick highlights.

5 months brought his first tooth on the actual day! It was followed days later by his second bottom tooth. Kyleen broke her first tooth at 8 1/2 months so he has her beat by just a little! Poor guy battled his second cold with croup- it seems that his "bark" is the go to every cold we get. Wonderful.






6 months brings a much better sleeper! Hallelujah! He is finally getting into a set routine, with some much needed sleep training. It is has been hard to establish routines with our life being so hectic and not in our own house. He is settling in to 2 naps a day and sleeping about 9 hours, waking up to eat, and then sleeping another 3. Can't complain. Little man is sitting up sturdily but shows no interest or desire to move (just the way we like it.) Started solids just before 6 months and saying this boy likes to eat is an understatement. He screams if the spoon hesitates for even a second! Despite his heave appetite he is just in the 15th percentile for weight.







7 months and finally home! We are officially in our new house, and Carson must love his new set up because he has been sleeping great! He still eats like a champ, and is eating at least 2 meals a day. Just like his 5 month birthday, 7 months brought a top tooth. Shortly after he got his second top tooth. I really want to shove these ones back in because it makes him look so grown up. Carson's favorite activity these days is probably tubbies with his sissy! He just laughs and squeals at her the whole time! He definitely has the desire to be on the move, and does a great 360 scoot but still struggling with the forward motion.  It probably doesn't help that I have NO desire for him to be crawling so I do little to help and or encourage. Oh, how it is different with number 2!

School Days

I can hardly believe the time has come for our little peanut to head off to preschool. We are starting slowly, but I think this will be the perfect amount to get her adjusted to school and being away from us. She LOVES all the "proyects" and just about everything about school, but man does this girl have separation anxiety! They were impressed Week 1 with just how long she could cry. :) Week 2 was an improvement, so we are hoping things continue to get easier for her.

Meet the Teacher Day!

The Fishy Class!

The Official First Day!





Silly girl!

Kyleen is SOO lucky to go to preschool with her best bud, and cousin Casey.
Seconds after I snapped this at the door she came running and screaming out of it! 

Movin' On Up

Well, it's official. We no longer live on Tricia Street. I've called that house "home" for over twenty years so it was a bittersweet goodbye for sure. Only God knows the address we will end up at right now, so as we wait for Him to tell us, my parents are graciously welcoming our hectic foursome into their house. 





4 Months

Well we are just about out of that dark tunnel of infancy. Our smiley boy is definitely growing up. He chomps on those fingers non stop, loves sitting up in his bumbo and playing on his playmat, and still gives us those killer smiles all the time. He is now 25in long, and weighs 14lb 6oz. He is definitely below the 50th percentile, but to us he is our little chunk when we compare him to his peanut of a sister! Life has gotten more hectic for us for sure with me going back to work and moving, so I am giving him a break at the moment for his sleeping patterns...but I am hoping I will have good news in that department to report at 5 months!








Baptism


On August 11, 2012 we gathered with family and friends to bless our handsome little boy. Carson was lucky enough to share his special day with his 2nd cousin Audrey, who is 1 week older than him. The two did AMAZING as the center of attention. Carson was so blessed to have his God parents, Dave Burns and Auntie Cindy, there to share in his special day. 






There's our little stinker.


Not bad for a family shot.









Perfection.

Best Buds.
