The one where Carson sleeps
* * * This is in no way intended to be a brag post. I am well aware we are lucky and all that jazz. This post is meant to be a memory of how our baby boy goes to sleep. It just so happens that he goes to sleep very VERY easily. And funnily. Carrying on. * * *
Sweet Carson is a fantastic go-to-bedder. When I was still nursing, he’d nurse for a bit at bedtime, then play for about 20 minutes, and then he’d let us put him right in bed and out he’d go. Same sort of …
A Trio of Spring Pictures
Just a few snapshots I took of my chill’en today. Carson refuses to sit still for a single picture so I am afraid that I’ve joined the ranks of those moms who will never have a good picture of their kids together again for a long time. I mean, honestly, look at the stink-eye I’m getting in that second picture because how DARE I make him sit next to the flowers with his sister?
A funny about Mallory’s ring: she told me that I have a sparkly ring and she has a sparkly ring but that my …
Carson’s New Trick
I almost titled this post “Carsie’s new trick”, because Mallory & I call him “Carsie” a lot (or should it be Carsy? anyway…). I don’t know that Rick is excited about the nickname but oh well. Mallory calls Carson “Cars” sometimes (with a soft S so it doesn’t sound like carz, but rather carce – does that make sense?) which cracks me up. Not sure why I changed the title of the post from Carsie to Carson but here we go.
ANYWAY – what’s his name learned a new trick today. He was in the playroom playing (good boy! doing …

My baby.
My baby is one.

Soooo behind
You are getting a bulleted post today because I can’t formulate real writing right now. Must be my age.
Carson is almost totally weaned. I am amazed that I made it a year. He’s nursing once or twice a day now and this morning was the first time in a month or so that he came to our bed early in the morning to nurse. It was very sweet. And then this afternoon he was getting fussy and I turned around to see him crawling towards me, dragging my nursing cape behind him. Yeah, that was really great for the mom …
Just a few pictures…
I still owe you all pictures from the big birthday party from last week but I will pacify you with some one-year-old sweetness for a few more days :-)
yummmmm…dirt.
the eyelashes. honestly?
couldn’t you just eat him up???
trying to grab Cooper-Dupe’s tongue.
FINALLY…he eats cake
Carson & I have some pretty big birthdays coming up. Later this week I’ll celebrate the 19th anniversary of my 21st birthday, and Carson is, obviously, turning one.
You’ve all seen my failed attempts at the cake smash but once we had him strapped in his high chair with no options to crawl away, my sweet baby boy went to TOWN on his birthday cake.
More about the party later – I have to finish editing some pictures from last week, but I’ll tell you that Carson’s cute blue & white & yellow striped button-down is currently in the washer on “super-soak”.
What they’re up to…
Mallory’s latest “things”:
Mallory. Mallory Mallory Mallory. She continues to be awesome and fun and smart and sassy and bratty and silly and loveable and oh so three.
She’s been able to count forever, but just this week she’s started to count on her fingers. Who’d have thought that flipping up one finger at a time could be so difficult. It’s so funny.
She’s been working on her letters – BIG TIME. She is constantly spelling her name, and Carson’s name and Mom and Dad. She’s started to identify letters on signs as we’re driving, and tonight she got grumpy because she could …
My Mobile Baby Boy!
The video speaks for itself…
Carson’s been taking some steps for the past few weeks but just this past weekend he’s really started walking for real. He seems to do it more when we aren’t egging him on – apparently my “Look at him go!!!” cheer scares him. Especially because now Mallory will get him up on his feet to make him walk, and then SHE yells “LOOK AT YOU GO!!!!”
I think crawling is still his preferred mode of transportation but we’re having fun watching him learn his new skill.
