On the move, breaking through and standing tall....

This post could not wait until 7 months. Boy have so many things happened in such little time.

To start with, I was brutally sick on April 13th. I even stayed home from work, which is so unlike me. I was so sick that I couldn't move to take care of Carson so I called my mom and dad. My poor mom who can barely move because of her foot laid in bed with me and helped with Carson. I am so glad she was there.

April 13th went from a bad day to an AMAZING day. Carson has been rockin' and rollin for a couple of weeks now. Rockin' and rollin turned into movin and groovin. I hear, "he's crawling, he's crawling". Sure enough, Geoffrey and I both got to see it. Carson made his first moves! Now, we are always on the move. There is never a resting period. When you put Carson in one spot, he ends up on the other side of the room.

To think that was just enough for us, Carson decided to push it to the next limit. He was in his crib and I walked out for a moment. I come back in, granted this is all in the same day, he is standing up! AUGH! He's only 6 months old. PAUSE! PAUSE! PAUSE! Needless to say, the mattress was put a few notches down at our house and at my parents house. The photo taken of him is not from that day, but from another day since.

On Saturday, April 17th, I checked Carson before I headed out for Monique's Bachelorette Party. No tooth. I knew it had to be coming soon because he has been extra fussy, snotty and just not like himself. On Sunday, April 18th, there it was. The new tenant to his little mouth. I wasn't able to get a great photo, but this will do for now.

And the last of our news. Carson had to go to the dr today because of all the stuffiness he has had. It started last week and even after the tooth came in, it didn't go away. Good thing he went, because it was turning into an ear infection in his left ear. We were given amoxicilin and sent on our way to come back in 2 weeks for a check up. Oh! And he was weighed... 19lbs!!! Whew! I'm starting to get some guns from carrying this little man around! ha!!

Talk to you at 7 months unless he starts walking.. AUGH! knock on wood..

6 Months

6 Months Old

From his 5-6month (below)

Height: 28 inch
Weight: 17lbs 12 oz
Consistently sleeps through the night.
Food: Eats like a horse. This boy can eat!! Loves his solids.
We've moved on to stage 2 foods now.

We celebrated Carson's first Easter at Nannie and Poppa's.

Carson was so spoiled, it was like Christmas. Mommy and Daddy bought Carson a little steering wheel toy and a tool bench. He loves the little steering wheel the best. We get a kick out of it because he actual steers it.

Uncle Joey spoiled Carson beyond belief. He filled Carson's toy box with tons of fun toys to play with. Thanks Uncle Joey!!

Nannie and Poppa got Carson an adorable outfit for the pool (which we can't wait for it to warm up)

The Bufalos and Miss Cathy took care of their favorite little boy. Carson's very first ducky Easter basket and books and clothes!

And...Jeanie and David bought Carson his very own, Scout! It is awesome. It says, "Hello, Carson", "I love you Carson",etc. He loves this dog. His eyes open up so big when the dog says his name.

This is one loved little boy!





From the fifth to the sixth month, we really didn't have too much of a change.

He has perfected sitting up, we really don't use the Bumbo anymore.

He is a professional belly sleeper, as he rolls onto his belly as soon as he gets on his back.

Big news! He had his first sleep over with Nannie and Poppa. He did great (and so did Mommy and Daddy).

Bigger news! He is doing everything in his power to crawl. He gets up on his hands and knees, rocks back and forth and then down. A couple of times he has moved an arm or a knee forward, but then down. I feel like any day now he is going to come crawling around the corner.

Babbling, tons!! From the moment he wakes up in the morning its, ba ba da ba, etc. in all different tones. I just love it.

It's hard to believe it has been 6 months that we have been blessed with the most amazing baby boy. He has brought so much joy to our lives. He has opened our eyes to what is important and closed them to the unimportant. Our world revolves around him. Every morning is like Christmas. God is amazing. So completely blessed. 100%
