Carson at 6 Months
December 30th, 20092 Months Old
August 26th, 2009I can’t believe Carson is already 2 months, time is going by so quickly. He is now 22 1\2 inches long and weighs 11 lbs 4 oz. (Still not as big as his uncle Taylor at birth!)
To celebrate his 2 months we took him to Disneyland. On Friday night we went and enjoyed a fun dinner at the Blue Bayou for Papa’s birthday. After dinner we took Carson on The Jungle Cruise for his very first ride, he slept through the whole thing! He did wake up towards the end of the night to get some playtime in.
Happy Birthday Papa!
So sleepy…
The next morning we woke up early to go meet my parents at the park. They were staying at the Disneyland Hotel so we were able to join them for early admission into the park. We were there at 7:30 in the morning. All of us had a great time. We took Carson on Finding Nemo, and thanks to Mimi and Boompa and the baby pass, Jordan and I were able to go on a lot of rides. The longest line we had to wait in was 15 minutes. It was a great weekend!
Carson was very excited to go to Disneyland two days in a row!

What a Month!
August 20th, 2009We 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.
One Month Old
July 22nd, 2009
Carson turned one month old today. And it was a busy day. First Court brought him by my office and we got to show him off to my coworkers. He then had a doctors appointment. He now weighs 9 lbs! That’s a 50% increase in just one month!

Lots of Pictures
June 25th, 2009Considering how rough the first couple nights at the hospital were, the first night at home with a newborn wasn’t too bad. We have had time to catch more hours of sleep than Monday or Tuesday combined. I was also able to transfer and upload a bunch of pictures. Here are a few. For more, click the photos tab at the top of the page or check out the photo set at Flickr.

More Showers
June 13th, 2009On May 30th my wonderful friend Pamela threw me a nice baby shower at Buca Di Bepo along with my friends Jessie, Kelly and Ana. Pamela, thank you for putting the whole thing together. It was a perfect day! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it and a huge thank you for all of your generous gifts. The Lyall family is very blessed to have all of you in our lives supporting us, loving us and praying for us.
Here is a picture with everyone who helped with the shower.

With the delicious cake!
I had my last day of work on Friday June 5th. I was planning on working until the 17th but Carson is wearing me out! I’ve been taking lots of naps and slowly getting things ready for the little guy to be here. On my last day of work everyone I work with pitched in and threw me a potluck lunch and gave me some cute baby clothes and a gift card to cover the cost of our crib. I am so grateful! Everyone at my school is amazing! The teacher I work closely with, and friend, Angela threw me a surprise baby shower with the families in my classroom. Jordan knew all about it and came to the shower as well. It was a great day!
The stepping stool that Angela and Vanessa had made for us. Cutest thing ever!
A huge thank you to Angela for putting the shower together and to all the families! It was a bittersweet last day. I’m thankful to be off so I can get as much rest in as I can now and take my time getting ready for the baby. But I already miss the kids and families so much!
As always there are a lot more pictures from these events under our photos link. If all goes as planned Carson should be here in 2 1/2 weeks! So, keep checking in!
Bakersfield Baby Shower
May 22nd, 2009On May 9th my sister, sister-in-law, aunt and cousins threw me a beautiful baby shower! I am overwhelmed with the amount of love people have for Carson already. He got so many nice things, I can’t wait for him to be here and use all of it. Thank you to everyone for making it to the shower and being such an important part of our lives. Your love and support means so much to us! A HUGE thank you to everyone who helped with the shower. It was an amazing and relaxing day for me, just the way I pictured it. I love you all!
This is everyone who helped with the shower.

31 Weeks
May 3rd, 2009I can’t believe I am already 31 weeks along with Carson. Time is going by so quickly. Things are going really well and Carson is healthy and very active. One of our favorite games is to play music on Jordan’s iPhone and put it on my stomach and watch Carson rock out. He loves upbeat music!
A few weeks ago Jordan and I went to Bakersfield for my friend Elena’s wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and Elena looked gorgeous! I was able to catch up with a lot of people I haven’t seen in a long time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera but my old friend Stephanie took some pictures of us and sent them to me. Thanks Steph! And congrats Elena and Mike!!!!
The day after the wedding we had a bbq at my parents house to celebrate Leah’s birthday. It was nice and relaxing and we had so much fun playing with our nephew Aidan. He is growing up so quickly!
This is my favorite picture ever!!
There are a lot more pictures if you click on our photos link. 
May is looking very busy with showers, birthdays and baby classes and we are looking forward to all of it!
