One Lonely Tooth

July 22, 2009

See it? Right in the middle of the bottom? I wonder how long it will take for that other bottom tooth to come in so his tooth isn’t so lonely. Mallory got all of her teeth in pairs so we’ll see what happens with Carson.

We knew it!

July 15, 2009

Those doctors don’t know ANYTHING.
I wrote a few weeks ago that Rick & I thought Carson was teething – it seemed like he had some bulges where his bottom two teeth should be and he was drooling like C-R-A-Z-Y.
At his doctor’s appointment last week, I mentioned that we thought he might be teething but the doctor looked and said he wasn’t getting any teeth.
But I think this picture proves otherwise…just a short 9 days later – a TOOTH! This might also explain some of his sleep issues from the past couple of weeks. Interestingly I gave him Tylenol a couple …

Busy busy

July 9, 2009

I’m sure you all have been wondering where I’ve been and why no posts (probably thinking my post notification email system was on the fritz again).
Well, have no fear – a new post to the blog is here!
This week has been very unusual and the combination has really cut into my evening time to myself (when I do my best blogging).
Carson’s sleep issues continued (however last night was *almost* normal). I ended up taking him to the doctor on Monday and turns out he has an irritant rash on his back and some eczema on his elbows. I was instructed …

Carson at 3-months

July 5, 2009

Our sweet baby boy turned three months old this week and with it he turned into a HORRIBLE sleeper. He has been waking up at 1a and Rick brings him upstairs, where he (Carson, not Rick) will kick and grunt and toss and turn and butzie (aka “fart”) for hours until it’s time for us all to wake up. And then he falls asleep for two hours while the rest of us are awake. It sort of ruined our long weekend seeing as how I got zero sleep. Rick would get up with him and try the usual tricks …

Time is a-flyin'

July 2, 2009

How on God’s green earth is my little boy three months old already? How is it already July? How have I not yet seen my first firefly of the summer?
This week has flown by, as they have been known to do lately. Both kids are good – I’ll entertain you with some Mallory gems first:

I was helping her get dressed the other night and pulled her jammies up over her belly, maternity-pant-style. She pulled them down and told me not to do that because she doesn’t have a baby in her tummy.
I like to try to have us talk about …

Carson @ 12weeks

June 25, 2009

I mentioned back in April that Rick is trying to work on some project with all of my belly shots and then pictures of me holding Carson as he gets bigger.
Seeing as how Rick has been busy with work and stuff lately, we haven’t been getting the pictures as regularly as he would have liked but we took one last night. 
So here is Carson at one week, and then at 12 weeks. I think I was holding him a little higher in the second picture but still – he is such a big boy now!

Blowout

June 13, 2009

Well, it is a week of poop around here.
Carson had his first true blowout today. You know, the kind of poop that climbs up the back of the onesie? Daycare calls it “lava poop” (it didn’t take Mallory six months to have her first blowout even though it reads that way in that post).
My mom was holding him and told me he needed a diaper. I guess my mom forgot the rule that whoever is holding the baby when he needs a diaper change is in charge of actually changing the diaper. But I changed him and it took like …

Random thoughts

June 9, 2009

So, remember this post? The one where my dad did the math and I was 6.1% bigger at 36wks with Arlo/Carson than I was at 40w with Fred/Mallory?
Not sure why it took me almost 10 wks to remember that post and then realize that NO $HIT I was bigger, since Carson was so gigantic at birth.
I thought about it today as was scurrying around at work, remembering my physical therapy and the pain in my lower back when I was still pregnant (and wondering if I’d ever be able to walk normal [or is it normally?] again).
