Holy cow – my baby is going to have his first birthday in less than two months. OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!OHMYGOD!
Sweet baby Carson is still so much fun. He smiles ALL THE TIME (except when battling an ear infection…read on for more on that) and his big sister can ALWAYS get him to laugh. Mallory has all sorts of goofy tricks up her sleeves, ranging from peek-a-boo to silly faces. His little giggles make my day, I just love it.
Carson has taken a few little tiny baby steps all by himself and would probably take more except every time he does take a …

Dashing through the snow…
You knew these were coming – what with all the snow we got last week. We took to the hill in the woods by our house. Cooper had a blast being crazy snow dog – it’s so funny to watch him go nuts in the deep snow, because his front legs get buried and he ends up doing a flip. Probably need to make sure gets an anti-inflammatory today.
Mallory trying to bury herself:
Carson wasn’t a big fan of the snow:
Carson sort of liked riding down the hill:
A flash of me being a fun mom:
And then Mallory rode down the …
Just for me
Breastfeeding and nursing and pumping are all discussed in this post. Not in a gross way. This is your warning – feel free to not comment (mom & dad) about how you can’t believe I wrote a whole post about this AND posted pictures.

Tank is now 10 months old. I can’t believe it’s gone so fast. I know I’ve said this like every single month, but I could just freeze him at this age and it would be fabulous.
One thing that makes me sad is thinking about the end of breastfeeding. …
Speechless
Mallory’s cousin came to play this past weekend.
The girls get a little out of control when they get together.
Lauren is the dress-up QUEEN and probably the biggest reason why Mallory loves her dresses so much (remember it was Lauren who taught Mallory how to hold up her dress when going peepee on the potty).
Well, when two girly-girls get together and have a trunk full of Disney Princess dress-up props, this is what happens. You can see Lauren’s Cinderella necklace, and Snow White bow and some other princess’ yellow sequined crown.
And then there was Carson.
Carson’s 9-mo stats
I think that with our trip I forgot to post Carson’s stats from his 9-mo appointment.
He’s 21.54lbs (66%), and 29.61” (88%).
Other things worth mentioning about my nine-month old baby boy:
He is still exclusively on breastmilk. My supply is more than keeping up with him (sorry if that is too much information, dad) and we have a freezer full of frozen milk that we’ll probably end up donating in April.
He loves to eat. He eats whatever we eat at dinner, and enjoys veggie burgers and grilled cheese and leftovers for lunch. His teachers report that sometimes they only …
Mom of the Year
Which of these pictures makes me Mom of the Year? The first one where Carson is head-first into a storage bin looking for toys (and I grabbed the camera before going to save him, and I wouldn’t let Mallory help him out until I took the picture), or the second one where I took a picture of my son pooping?
Regarding Carson’s poop face – because of football season, Rick hadn’t been around much at dinner time (which is Carson’s normal pooping time), so the first time Rick was actually home for dinner and Carson started to turn red and make …
It’s gotta be the hair
Last night after the kids had a bath, I had some fun with Carson’s hair. He seems to have a little of Mallory’s curl. I don’t think Mallory’s hair was as long at 9-mos as his is, so it’s hard to really compare what will end up happening. But last night I let him rock a mohawk. This was all gel-less so with product I’m sure it would get even more rockin’.

Santa Monica
We spent our last day in California at the beach. (We were in Indian Wells for a week for a work gig for me – I think I haven’t really told this story in order. oh well).
Continuing on – our last day in California we drove to the beach. Mallory was NOT impressed with the big waves and would freak out when I started to get my feet near the water. I LOVE these pictures that Rick took of the kids and me checking out the surf. The water was freezing but I felt I just had to dip my …
My Favorite People
The resort we stayed at in California was gorgeous – and all week long I had plans to take some great pictures on the beautiful lawns with all the flowers and greenery. For some reason the timing didn’t seem to work out so well (what with the sun setting at 4.45p and all), so I had to settle for some quick shots the morning that we left.
This picture cracks me up. How funny are my kids? Mallory & her fake smile and Carson & his “O”-face.
