What a Month!

August 20th, 2009

We have been so busy this month. Carson is growing quickly! He loves to smile and make some very silly faces. He’s also becoming pretty vocal. There are nights when we will put him in his crib and we just listen to him grunting and sighing. His cries are becoming stronger and he has discovered fake crying. There are times when he will look at one of us and say, “wah” and then he will just continue staring. It’s hilarious!

Here are some of our favorite faces he makes.

We took Carson to his first trip to the Disneyland Hotel to visit with Mimi and Boompa. We had a great time pushing him around in his stroller and eating a nice dinner. I can’t believe we forgot to take pictures!

Uncle Cory’s birthday was this month and we joined him for dinner at Alcatraz. Carson wore a special rock outfit just for his Uncle.

Carson’s Uncle Jeff, Aunt Leah and cousin Aidan came by this month to visit. We had a wonderful time with them. We put the boys in their strollers and walked to Oggi’s for lunch and then stopped by a park to play when we were finished. I had so much fun with playing with my nephew on the play structure. He is getting so big and says the cutest things! Aidan finally warmed up to Carson. We started out just by having him feel how soft Carson’s skin is and a little while later Aidan was giving Carson kisses. It was so sweet!

Carson’s Gram and Papa threw a family shower for him last Saturday. It was such a fun day and it was exciting to have everyone over to meet Carson. A huge thank you to everyone who came to the shower and for giving Carson such nice gifts. We are truly blessed to have so many close friends and family that love and pray for our little guy.

After the shower Gram and Papa watched Carson so Jordan and I could enjoy our first date since he’s been born. It was a little strange not having him with us but it was nice to get out enjoy a nice dinner. Thank you Ken and Heidi for such a great day!!

I should also mention that it was Uncle Taylor’s birthday this month as well. He is still in South Africa so we couldn’t celebrate with him but we definitely thought of him.

We are looking forward to another fun, yet busy month filled with Disneyland trips, birthday parties, having friends over, and Carson’s first trip to Bakersfield! If you want to see all of the pictures from the past month click here.

It’s a Boy!

January 29th, 2009

So we asked the ultrasound technician to keep the gender a secret, write it on a piece of paper, and seal it in an envelope. We shared the special moment at a nice dinner out.
