More teeth

Just a note to the blog:

2 more teeth coming in. 19 Months. Carson is getting his 2 lower canines and he has been a beast. We actually gave him tylenol the other night to calm him down.

Happy Mother's Day 2011

1 Year Later....

I'd like to say that I'm loving Mother's Day now more than my Birthday. ha! I had such a great day. And I was spoiled rotten! My mom bought me a beautiful Lladro of a mother and son, Geoff got me a spa day to go to with another girlfriend/mommy. And then, my brother Joey got me a spa day. I received so many cards and thank you very much to everyone for thinking of me on Mother's Day.

Just like last year, we packed up and headed for the beach for Mother's Day. This time, we brought breakfast along with us, so needless to say, we were there early. We had a VERY BUSY day ahead of us, so we ate our breakfast, played for a bit in the water, and then we left.

We went home, finished cooking and packed up for my parents house. There, we spent the rest of the day with family from near and far, and close friends. Delicious food, swimming in the pool, icy beverages, laughs and great memories made for a wonderful Mother's Day.

Happy 4 Years and 1st Cinema for Carson

Today Geoffrey and I celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary. Whew! It seems like yesterday that we were partying in the Florida Keys and having the time of our life. Cheers to many many more!!

Last year for our anniversary, our first with Carson, he was very sick with a double ear infection. Needless to say, our priority was at home with our little guy.

This year, we attempted to go out on a date, just the two of us, but it just wasn't meant to be. We planned on going to see the movie, Source Code and taking Carson along, that probably wasn't the best movie to keep his attention. Change of plans and RIO it was.

We went to a 6:25p.m. movie, which ended up being perfect timing. We were both a little nervous as to how he was going to react, but my gut was telling me it was going to be A-OK! As the previews were showing, Carson just sat there in awe. I don't know that he really knew what in the world was going on. Then the movie started, same reaction, just watching and listening. Movie is going and going and there he is, relaxed, eating his veggie straws and M&M's watching the movie with Mommy and Daddy. What a PERFECT Anniversary.

At the end of the movie, I sat him in his own chair and he clapped when it was all over. Another sign, that the itty bitty baby is in our sweetest memories and best photos. Carson is turning into the sweetest little boy. I've said it before and I'll say it again....I loved the baby days, but toddler days are SO MUCH FUN!

And yes mothers, I did bring my 18 month old to the movies (GASP). You never know how it will go unless you try! lol. Let your kids surprise you!! :)

***RIO such a CUTE CUTE CUTE CUTE Movie. I'd go see it again. Can't wait to buy it on DVD when it comes out.
