Dear 9 month old Carson

Dear Carcar,
 You are 9 months old and I can't believe it. Time has gone by so fast. I can't believe that in just three months you will be one year old.
 You are such a joy to be around and you are so funny! It has be son fun to watch your personality develop over the last few months. You are always makes us and yourself laugh. Your newest trick is sniffing. You take deep breaths in through your nose and then you smile because you are so pleased with yourself. You also signed "more" and that same day you actually said more! It's so cute. When you say it, it sounds like, "mah." You have started to slither around a lot. Your mode of transportation was rolling but now you have discovered that you can push yourself forward with your feet. I love watching you go!! You are so curious. You are constantly looking around and taking everything in. You hardly ever sit still. You just want to go go go!! You definitely have your daddy's energy. You are almost always happy. And when you do get fussy it is pretty easy to cheer you up. You are a great sleeper. When you're tired you rub your eyes and that let's me know that you are ready for a nap. I lay you in your crib and you put your blanket on your little nose and go right to sleep. I am obsessed with watching you sleep. I love seeing you so peaceful. You are an amazing eater. You like everything. Some of your favorites are yogurt, mixed garden vegetables, ritz crackers and water. I tried giving you some juice and you didn't want it. I'm grateful for that! You can have as much water as you want baby. You have made it impossible for me to wear necklaces but that's okay. You love taking baths!! As soon was we walk into the bathroom you start smiling and squealing and kicking. You say a lot of sounds. The ones we hear the most are, "bababaa" "dadada" "mmmmm"  and then of course all your squeals and toot noises :) You also really enjoy hitting toys together and hearing the sound it makes.
 You are so smart and incredible Carson boy. Your dad and I love you so much. You have tons of extended family who love you too. You are such a joy and light in our lives. I love you more then you will ever know.

Love,
mamama :)

15 for Friday

I am in the process of blogging all about our vacation but you're going to have to wait for that one.

1. Carson is so happy to be home! I'm glad he knows this is home and he is happy here :)
2. Baby food with broccoli in it smells horrible!
3. Carson is getting his teeth in such random order. He has his top left tooth and the one next to it...not his other top tooth yet.
4. I am in serious need of some alone time. My eyebrows need plucking and my nails need painting but when I do get alone time all I do is read!
5. I really want to redecorate our living room.
6. I am very thankful for the power of prayer and the gift of the holy ghost.
7. Carson got a train whistle from Grandma Ganem in Colorado. Half the time he loves it, half the time he pretends to be afraid of it.
8. I am the worst mom ever. While holding Car today he leaned back just as I was walking into our bedroom and he hit the side of his head right on the corner of the door frame. He has a red mark and a bump :( I feel awful.
9. We got to see B and J yesterday!! We're so happy to be reunited with them :)
10. Rob and B are now going to be partners at work!!!! We are so thrilled!!!!!
11. My little brother really needs to shave his mustache
12. Summer weather has been pretty lame here so I'm ready for fall
13. Carson finds the most microscopic things to put in his mouth
14. Rob really wants to buzz his hair.....I'm not to thrilled about it
15. CARSON IS GOING TO BE 1 IN 3 MONTHS!!!! :( :(
