Happy Birthday Carson!


My baby turned 1 today!

I still can't get over how fast this last year went by.  My baby is so not a baby anymore.
We aren't really celebrating his birthday until Sunday when we have family over for his big Elmo/ Cookie Monster party.   I can't wait to see him when we sing, and what he does when he sees his Elmo cake!

Since we are waiting for the birthday stuff, we took the boys to Homewood for dessert and then to  the park for a fun evening for the birthday boy.  Carson hadn't been to the park since he could walk so he loved it!  I loved it too, boy is it so much easier now that he can walk around on his own!


 Carson points all the time, he was telling me about the big tree I guess!
 Playing on the Merry go round with brother and Grandpa Bob
 Our boy loves the swings!

Carson at 1 year you 

-are walking everywhere!  You can even get up in the middle of the floor and walk you don't need to pull up onto something first anymore
-doing more and more babbling
-wearing 12 months 
-still have the same 4 teeth
-are a pretty good but messy eater.  You and Noah at your age were opposites in that department.  You are starting to turn down the veggies now that you have tried a lot of other things, bummer! 
You won't hardly sit for anything in your high chair since you are so messy, everything is everywhere,you throw things you don't want.  I think you are permanently going to be moving to Noah's booster soon so I can keep you down and clean up your messes easier. 
-love trash cans, toilets, my kitchen cabinets, turning on our big garden tub water in our bathroom, pretty much everything you shouldn't do!  You keep me moving!  
-have the cutest wave!  
-are pretty much down to 2 bottles a day and have one more day of formula left, then it's milk only!  We have been doing milk at mealtimes and in the morning so I'm hoping you do okay without it.  We will probably just put it in a bottle for you for a little bit longer.  
-still taking 2 naps and your afternoon one is usually a pretty long one.  Mommy thanks you for that!
-has the cutest laugh.  
-Speaking of the cutest laugh, you also throw some not cool tantrums.  You sure do have a temper young man!  
-You love to wrestle with mommy and love being tickled.  
-You love to read books and  to cuddle with mom while she sings you songs.  You aren't too much of a cuddler for me during the day but usually before bed I can get you to cuddle while I sing a few songs.  
-really starting to figure out more and more about your little world

Carson, you are a lover.  You can be so cute, and you definitely love to be with your momma.  I can't even express to you how much we love you and have enjoyed getting to watch you grow this last year.  We of course have had some times that we are glad we are past but you have brought so much joy to our lives!  You have always been a smiley one and just have the cutest little face!  
We are so thankful we are finally sleeping through the night and couldn't imagine what it would be like without you, but blessed are we because we don't have to!  Carson you are such a wild little man, I can't get over how fast you move and how much you are into things and it has been so neat to see how you and Noah are so alike but yet so different.  We have had areas where it has been a whole new experience with you and I love that!  

We love you more than we could ever say bubby!
Happy Birthday Carson!
