We found out Two Weeks ago that we are having a baby boy!!!!!! I know everyone has been wondering how far along I am. I'm 21 weeks and due the 19th of November.

Time has been flying by this summer. This is what we have done in the past few months: camping, six flags, the beach, Carson's first father and sons, Riley coming home from his mission, my birthday, Taylor's birthday, and a fun trip to Washington DC ( Carson got two black eyes, and a goose egg in the middle of his forehead)

How much fun can one little boy have with two grandma's

If you have wondered why I have not posted a blog in a long time this will answer your question. Carson has had both Grandma's stay at our house over the past month. He had so much fun with Grandma Leishman these are a few of the things Carson loved doing with Grandma Leishman:

Playing hide and go seek
Running on the grass
hours and hours of playing cars
The famous stories at night. I was always kicked out of the room at bed time.
Going to the Mets game and eating Cracker Jacks.
Central Park on the carousel and eating lots of Cream.
Body Slams!!!!

We miss you lots!

Then Grandma Warner came to visit. These are a few of the things Carson had fun doing with Grandma Warner.

Playing with his dump truck in the dirt.
Going to the beach.
Hide and go seek. This is Carson's favorite game.
Going out to lunch.
Going to the Park and throwing rocks with grandma.
Making lots of good treats.
Laying in the Big Boy Bed.
Fixing projects around the apartment.

We miss you both and can't thank you enough for all your help.

Carson's Birthday

My little Boy is 2

I never understood why parents would say "I wish time would slow down" until I became a mom. I have been looking at some pictures and it feels like just yesterday I was holding him for the first time. I feel so blessed to have him as my son and to have a husband that works so hard so I can stay home. Here are just a few things that make me laugh that Carson does or says.

1. Almost every morning when he wakes up he says "Mommy hold you, Mommy hold me" I have corrected him so many times that if he wants me to hold him he says "mommy hold me". It melts my heart every morning.

2. He has just starting saying Love you mommy.

3. Carries his toy cars with him everywhere he goes; this includes bedtime. I have to go in after he has fallen asleep and collect 7-10 cars. If I miss a few he rolls over them during the night and wakes up screaming. I try really hard to find all 10.

4. He loves to be with me all day. It does not matter if I'm doing dishes, making the bed, or cleaning.

5. If you know Carson well enough you know he goes by Carso. I don't know how that nick name started but it has stuck. It makes me laugh when people ask him his name because he replies Carso.

I love this little person so much and wish time would slow down a little bit.

Fun Weekend

On Friday night Carson and I decided to make homemade pizza. It was a lot of fun for Carson to put the cheese and Pepperonis on; he calls them "ronis". If you know Carson, you know that he never eats. Well while we were making the pizza I looked over and discovered that a big portion of the "Ronis" were gone. In my mind I thought did Carson really eat something that was somewhat healthy for him. I kept watching him to see if it was really true. YES! my child was eating some turkey pepperoni. It didn't last long but at least he ate something.







Saturday night we went into Time Square. We visited the Toys R Us store. This store is huge! We went on the ferris wheel inside and Carson got his picture taken with the giraffe. It was so funny to see Carson's reaction when we got to the Car section. He was grabbing all of the car packages off the shelves. He finally narrowed his selection down to a toy tractor.

First snow fall.

It snowed about 6 inches last night so Carson and I decided it would be fun to play in the snow. We called the Burr's and they came with us. Carson liked being pulled on the sled with his buddy Damon.
After sledding we went over to the Burr's and had yummy hot chocolate. What a fun morning.

Notice that Carson is still holding his toy cars even while sledding. He does not go any where with out them in his hands.

Love Long Weekends

Last weekend was so nice to have Taylor around. Every morning Carso wakes up and asks if Daddy is home? Taylor is usually gone before he wakes up, so my answer is the same "no Daddy had to go to work". Carso gets so sad. This weekend was especially nice for Carson. He loved waking up in the morning and having Taylor home to play cars with.

Taylor's parents gave Carson a gift card to the science center for his birthday. We decided to use it a little early, and go on Monday. It was a lot of fun. We went to a 3-d showing of the sun; Carson wore the glasses the entire time. He kept pointing, grabbing, and saying "balls daddy". I think his favorite part of the day was blowing into the giant bubble.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the fun day.
