Christmas 2009

This year we spent our Christmas in Washington with Austin's family. It was good to get away from Rexburg. We enjoyed making and decorating cookies, spending time with family, and celebrating the birth of our Savior. I think that this Christmas was more fun for me because of Carson even though he didn't know what was going on and we ended up opening his presents for him anyways. I'm looking forward to him getting older and being able to explain why we celebrate Christmas and him enjoying the holiday season. We are looking forward to the new year and seeing what 2010 will bring us.

Carson didn't know what to think of Santa

December Fun

December was a busy month for us. Austin had lots of projects at the end of the semester for school so Carson and I didn't see him too much. We also went on a little trip without him. We went to Salt Lake City to see the lights with my sister and her family. It has been a few years since I have been to the temple during Christmas time to see the lights and have wanted to go back for a while now. It was fun and the weather wasn't too bad. We also went to Thanksgiving Point during the day ad went to the dinosaur museum. That was fun to look around.

Happy Halloween!

Carson is growing up so fast. In a couple weeks he will be 6 months, time flies! We weighed him about 2 weeks ago and he was 14 lbs. He just starting eating solids a couple days ago. He has only had green beans but he loved them. He kept pulling the spoon closer to himself, I guess I wasn't fast enough. He is getting better everyday at sitting up by himself. After a few minutes he falls over but its getting better. He has rolled over a couple times but hasn't cared to roll over much since then. He is such a happy and playful little boy. He loves to babble too.

Little Update

We are in Washington for the rest of the summer. Austin has been working for a funeral home here in Washington for the past couple weeks. This is the same company that he is going to work for when he graduates. They needed some extra help, so here we are till school starts again.

We tried taking Carson to his first baseball game last weekend, but the Mariners were playing the Yankees so the game was sold out. Oh well, maybe next time.

Carson is growing and growing. He is three months now. Yesterday we were out running around and out of no where he just started laughing. I have never heard him laugh like this. It was so cute and funny. It last for a few minutes too. We are sad that we didn't have the camera with us. So our goal is to make him laugh so we can get it on camera. So far he hasn't laughed like that again, but that's not stopping us from trying!

I'll post some updated pictures of him soon. I can't remember where I put the cord to download them to the computer. I'm looking for it, so hopefully within the next day or so.

Growing little boy

Carson finally made it to 10 lbs. He is still tall and skinny! He smiles and coos all the time, but I have yet to catch the smiles on camera. Once I get the camera out he knows what I am trying to do and just stops smiling. We went and got professional pictures a couple weeks ago and the photographer was able to get some pictures with him smiling, so at least we have those.

Carson loves his swing and is starting to notice when no one is in the room with him. He doesn't like that so much. He is a fun little boy and we enjoy every minute of him.

Carson spit up all over Austin and got all over him. I thought it

was funny so I had to take a picture of it.

We went to Utah a few weeks ago for Austin's cousin's softball tournament. They live in California so Austin doesn't get to see them alot. It was fun to see/meet them.

6 weeks

Carson is now 6 weeks. He is growing up so fast. He now weighs 8lbs 10 oz, 22 inches long. Tall and skinny. He is still such a good baby. We got lucky with him. We still just get to hang out all day. We have been going on more walk now that the rain has stopped which has been good for me. It's some type of exercise. It is so fun and amazing to watch carson grow.
