We had our second boat trip of the year tonight and we ventured across the lake to get pizza.
Mallory was great with letting us put her “boat coat” on and then went to point out EVERY.SINGLE.BOAT on the lake. We saw sailboats (last summer she called them “bow boats”) and a kayak and jet skis.
I had the camera but Mallory isn’t so photogenic with a sippy cup in her mouth and lake-effect wind blowing her locks all over the place. And Carson slept the whole time.
That’s all I have tonight; I’m writing from my iPhone and it’s too hard to …
Month: May 2009
One
On Sunday night, Mallory asked if she could play before bed. She wanted to “pway for ONE WHILE”.
Then on Monday night, Mallory asked if she could play before bed. She wanted to “pway for ONE SECOND”.
From the mouth of Mallory – May 17, 2009
We were sitting on the patio yesterday at Gigi’s house. Mals pulled her chair to be close to where Gigi was weeding, but then she pulled the chair closer to me and said “let’s talk about football”. LMAO.
Another funny from yesterday: riding in the car, Mallory puts her bear blankie over her head to play peek-a-boo with me. Then she covers her head again and says “Tell Carson where Mallory is!” which translated means “Ask Carson ‘where is Mallory?’”.

I started back to work on Friday and it didn’t suck too much. Seems like people were happy to see …
See dis M?
I realized the other day that I hadn’t gotten much video of Mallory lately and I had to rectify that. I don’t want to forget her little lisp and her raspy voice.
Anywho, here are Mallory & Carson pre-bath time last night. In the very beginning you hear Mallory say “…be quiet a second” – I didn’t start recording fast enough to get her saying “HEY WICK” before the “be quiet a second”. Rick was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I wanted him to be quiet while I videoed (is that really a word?) the kids…so I hollered out …
Crybaby
I was chatting with a friend today about Carson and his gassiness and she was telling me about her son cried a lot when he was an infant because he had a lot of gas. I replied that Carson seems to cry a lot too – but she didn’t believe me since I hadn’t blogged about it. So Kim – here you go (I advise you to turn down your speakers):
All during this crying spell, he was kicking his legs trying to work out the gas. Poor kid!
I’ll add that Kim said she cut chocolate out of her diet for …
Mallory & Carson ~ May 12, 2009
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again – for as ornery and grumpy as Mallory is with us for bringing home a baby, she is in love with her baby brother.
After her failed attempt to pick Carson up in the video above, Mallory wanted to hold him on her lap:
And here is a close-up of her making she she is holding his head:
And here she is burping him. What you can’t see is the burp rag across her chest/under her arms…
I wanna have spinach!
Monday night.
Softball Banquet.
I’m invited.
Mallory isn’t.
Tell Mallory she is going to Miss Cheri’s because mom & dad are going to dinner.
Here is the conversation:
STB: Mom & dad are going to dinner – you get to play with big Mallory & Bryce!
MCB: I wanna go to the ressaurant!
STB: No, mom & dad are going on a date.
MCB: I wanna go on a date!
STB: We’re just going to eat spinach
MCB: I wanna have spinach!
STB: Well, really we’re just going to have corn (figured this would work because she told us the night before that she doesn’t like corn)
MCB: I wanna have …
Rolling x 3
Carson rolled over on Sunday. Twice. From his tummy to his back. And then he did it once again on Monday.
He’s holding his head fairly well too and using his arms to push up on us when we are trying to burp him.
He isn’t even six weeks old. We are in big fat trouble. This kid is freakishly strong.

Carson has been taking some naps in his crib – having graduated from the bassinet in the living room, and, in lieu of the event listed above, no longer naps on the couch next to me. We’ve …
How about?
Funny conversation with Mallory yesterday. We were out in the backyard – I was sitting in a chair feeding Carson, and she wanted me to push her on the swing. I told her to lay on the swing on her belly and swing that way. Cha-CHING! Go MOM! She did that for about 10 minutes!! Anyway, I really wanted my cup of water and wanted Mallory to retrieve it for me from the table by the house. I kept asking her to get it for me and she kept saying “jussa minute”. Finally, after she told me to watch her …
My Mother’s Day present
I got a fancy double jogging stroller from Rick & Mallory & Carson & Cooper for my Mother’s Day present but Rick will be happy to know that my favorite gift was the free one I got…Carson’s first smile!!! Now I am acting like a crazy lady trying to get him to do it more and more :-)
