What A Beautiful Mess

Only Carson could create such a sight and have it look beautiful to me.  True, I don't always love putting away everything he empties out of the cupboards and drawers only to find them all over the floor again two minutes later, but I do love watching him find so much joy in doing it.  I sometimes wonder why anybody buys children expensive toys... Household items have ALWAYS been Carson's preference.  We sure love this kid!

Carson and his cute cousin Serella.

 Grandma Jo came into town from Grand Junction, CO.  This was the first time Carson had ever met his Great Grandma and he liked her a lot.  It was so cute to watch them play together.

Catching Up

Mommy loves her little boy!

Carson is 8 months old and is our little pride and joy.  We love him so much and are so grateful that he is a part of our family.  He is a mover so he has already got a few battle wounds.  The wound above happened when he pulled a wooden stool on top of him as he was pulling himself up on it.  The wood top hit him right between the eyes and he didn't enjoy it one bit.  He sure is a cute little guy!
One of the perks of our new place is that it is right across the street from the chapel we go to.  Not only is it convenient on Sundays, but it has become an almost daily place for us to go to play basketball.  Brandon and I both love to play and Carson is a huge fan of crawling around on the pavement and exploring the new territory. 




Carson loves his bath time and especially his new alphabet toys that Grandma Toni gave him. 

Am I tricky or what?
I can't believe how fast our little boy is growing up!  He is on the go CONSTANTLY and climbs up on everything he can get his hands on (stable or not).  His new favorite trick is when I stand him up against the wall for him to lean on.  He loves that he can stand without using his hands to hold him up.  He also loves wacking the back of his head against the wall over and over again. :) He is a funny and very entertaining little boy!
Once Carson has got his sight set on something, it is very hard to keep him from it.  He is a go getter and we love his enthusiasm....except for when we are trying to change his diaper..... or keep him from the garbage cans...or the toilet...or the lamps....... :)
Carson wasn't a huge fan of posing for the camera with Grandma Wendy's Birthday sign, but he certainly enjoyed eating it!
