I am up so early because Carson soaked through his diaper so the poor baby was freezing! He also sleep pooped. Don't you hate when they do that? It makes his poor little bummy sore.
Carson can go up stairs. Did we teach him this? No. We don't have stairs in our apartment but we do have them right outside our front door. I wanted to see what he would do so I let him wander out there and up he went!
Carson can also climb up on the couch now. Seriously, you cannot take your eyes off this kid!
In other news, we have some really exciting changes coming to our family!!! Stay tuned to find out what!

I liked this.
A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."
Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"
"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.
The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.
Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"
God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.
I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world,
yet gentle enough to give comfort.
I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.
I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.
I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.
I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.
I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.
And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."
"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

10 for Friday
1. Carson just wants to he held today. He's heavy but I don't mind. Between lifting at the gym and carrying him around I am going to be Buffy McBuffster. 
If only I looked as patient as she does.
2. Rob is growing out a mustache for No Shave November. Ew. He is one gorgeous man but he does not look good with a mustache. I told him No Shave November is No....ahem....November. We'll see how long he keeps the stache ;)
3. Last night we had 3 other couples over for game night. It as a blast! It was also nice to be able to hang out with just grown ups. No kids! We're planning on having game night once a month. Thanks everyone for coming!!
4. It's really hard to be on the computer when Car is around.
If only I looked as patient as she does.5. Ok, have you watched the show New Girl? If you don't, you should. It. Is. Hilarious. We literally laugh out loud. I hate to say this but......we like it better than The Office. Seriously, it's that funny.
5. Current obsession: Cold Milky Way. De. Lish.
6. Carson is standing next to me doing this.....
7. We got new curtains for our front window. I LOVE them. They are also wonderful and keeping the heat in.
8. I was really excited for daylight savings time on Sunday but then I remembered that I have a one year old. It totally throws babies/kids off.
9. We didn't get ONE trick-or-treater this year!! Oh well, more candy for me us!!
10. Carson knows who Jesus is. When I ask him where Jesus is he looks right at the picture we have on him on our living room wall and says, "Zeesus." It's darling.
Well that's all I've got for now. Carson's diaper is starting to stink up the whole room. Maybe next week I'll actually have 15 for Friday. Have a great, safe weekend!!

My baby is ONE!!!!
Happy birthday Carson Boy!!!!
On October 16th my baby turned one year old!! He had a great day! Rob and I kept saying "Happy birthday!!!" And Carson would reach his arms up in the air and laugh and clap. To celebrate we had my mom, my 2 brothers and B and J and their kids come over for cake and presents. At first Car wasn't too sure about the cake but eventually he dug in. I'm pretty sure more of it ended up on his face and hands rather in his mouth though ;) Car got a ton of new toys and he is in heaven with so many new things to play with! Thank you to everyone that wished him happy birthday!!
Here are some of his latest....
-He still loves pretty much anything to eat. He does not care too much for fruit though. He loves his veggies.
-He isn't walking yet but that's okay!
-Still no stranger danger for this kid. He loves anyone!
-He doesn't prefer one parent over the other except in the morning. He would rather I get him up and hold him for a few minutes. It doesn't take long for him to warm up to dada though! :)
-He has discovered that he can take of his pants. He only does it when he is supposed to be napping.
-He is hilarious! He is always cracking us, and himself up!
-He is pretty much always happy.
-When I go to the bathroom he sticks his chubby fingers under the door. Make me laugh out loud every time!
-He LOVES bath time! We have to spell bath because if he hears us say it he starts heading for the bathroom.
-He repeats pretty much everything we tell him to say!
-He is never quiet. That boy has so much to say all the time. I love it!
-He has done amazing without having bottles anymore. I was worried about it but he doesn't miss them.
-He is FINALLY sleeping through the night! We're talking 12 hours straight! It's wonderful, even though I miss giving him midnight snuggles. (I may or may not tip toe into his room while he is asleep, pick him up and rock him for a few minutes)
-He is getting molars on the bottom and it's so painful. The poor boy is such a slow teether. His teeth take forever to come in.
-One of his favorite things to do right now is take things out. Example, he'll take all the toys out of the bins, clothes out of a drawer, blankets/binkys out of his crib, pots and pans out of the cupboard.
-He is also really into banging things together to make noise.
Carson is SUCH a joy and light in our lives. This last year has been so incredible. It went by way to fast but we have loved every minute of it! It is so bitter-sweet that his is one!! I look forward to watching him continue to learn and grow this next year!
WE LOVE YOU CAR MAN!!!

Goodbye 21 hello 30.....Uh I mean 22
I am now officially 22! Ugh that just sounds so young! I feel like I'm 30 :) Hopefully by the time I really am 30 we'll have lots more babies!
Rob worked on my actual birthday but my wonderful, beautiful friend J and her darling kiddos came over and brought me lunch, a gift and an awesome cake made out of maple bars! How amazing is that?! We had fun chatting and eating and the kids were extremely well behaved! Such a great friend to come and spend the afternoon with me! My wonderful and beautiful mama also stopped by with some beautiful flowers and an ice cream cake! These ladies sure know how to make me happy!!
Tonight we are all celebrating together. My fam is coming over and we'll have dinner and cake!
Anyway for my birthday post I am going to post 22 facts about myself that you probably didn't know. Here goes....
1. I can put my feet behind my head.
2. I hate brownies and pie.
3. I can't sleep unless I am wearing socks.
4. Speaking of sleep, I LOVE IT! I could seriously sleep for 18 hours a day....if I didn't have a life.
5. Snickerdoodles are my all time favorite cookie.
6. Spiders make me cry.
7. I don't believe in big foot.
8. I love my sweet son so much it makes me cry.
9. I absolutely love to dance. Ballet is my happy place.
10. I love to have everything neat and tidy. I can't go to bed if there are dishes in the sink.
11. I have an awful relationship with my father. I could easily be bitter but instead I choose to be grateful that my children will have wonderful relationships with their dad. Knowing that brings me much peace when I am hurting inside for my own dad.
12. I am a size 2 and 120 pounds but I struggle when I look in the mirror. I see someone much bigger.
13. I really don't have a comfort zone or boundaries. I have to remind myself that somethings aren't appropriate to say or talk about.
14. I was born and raised mormon. I love my religion and I am so grateful for the wonderful blessings it has brought me.
15. My mom is the most amazing woman I know. Seriously, do you know her? You should. She's fantastic!
16. I don't like reading parenting books. It makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong.
17. I'm terribly clumsy. Especially in the kitchen. But it's fun and makes my Rob smile :)
18. I love to have Rob play with my hair. LOVE it. It puts me right to sleep.
19. I would love to have 6 or 7 kids.
20. When I was little I had a fear of vomit. Being a preschool teacher and mom gets rid of that fear fast!
21. I was 9 months pregnant on my 21st birthday. My birthday was my due date! How cool is that?! Car came 3 days late though :)
22. I love change. I welcome it! In fact, I thrive on it. I get tired when everything is always the same.
