Ever since we started Carson on solids, he immediately goes into the tub after dinner (we usually can’t get away with not doing bathtime every night). He still insists on trying to shove the spoon in his mouth but I’m getting back in the groove and my speed is improving so I am getting better at avoiding his grasp. But he always still ends up with some sort of food leftover on his face.
I just started having him sit up in the tub and so far he’s only fallen once.
Here is the happy bather with carrots on his face…

One of my favorite things about being a mom is that I get to watch as this little person I made learns something new every single day.
It’s hard to believe that Carson is already old enough and big enough to learn how to sit up.

I’ve been dying to get a picture of Carson’s sweet cheeks (not the ones on his face…the other ones). I just love his little dimply tushy, especially when he sleeps with it sticking up in the air. I almost brought him upstairs with me last night even after he’d been asleep for an hour, just because I wanted to snuggle with him.

Mom of the Year that I am – I left Carson on the living room floor while I went to take pictures of Mallory & her spinny bress (another post will be coming about that). Notice that he isn’t where I left him.

He gets where he gets by rolling and spinning on his tummy. He isn’t crawling. Yet.
Editor’s Note: I know the photo is not clear, but I snapped the picture quick so I could rescue my sweet boy from the hard kitchen floor…

We are continuing with Carson’s introduction to the world of non-boob-food. So far he’s had rice cereal and just this week we started oatmeal. I got some Stage 1 fruits but decided we’ll wait until closer to 6-mos to start those.
He took after his big sister with regard to eating the cereal. I remember it took Mallory all of three days to realize that the cereal is good stuff. Carson loves it so much that he uses his hands to help rake the spoon into his mouth and then he gets sticky cereal all over his hands and face (and …
