What a crack up!

My mom wants a pic of Carson at 6 months. So I went with her & Carson to get a pic of him. There was a little girl (1 year old) with her family and they are going through their pictures. We are waiting for them to be done so Carson can get his pics done. Well he gets all giddy about this girl. He is just giggling and flapping his arms...lol...he is so girl crazy! My mom and I were just cracking up and so were the other people in the studio.

Sad to say though, he used all his smiles on her and we weren't able to get him to smile when it was his turn. Wish the photographer could have taken him while the little girl was there!

Here is a pic of him...all smiles!

6 months old

Well my baby boy is now 6 months old! We're halfway to a year old! At his 6 month old checkup he had to get 3 shots (2 shots in one leg!) My poor baby boy! Travis said he was tough though and quickly forgot about it. Carson now weighs 19 pounds and is 27 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile in both weight and height...our little chunky monkey.

I started back to work already! Our first babysitter for Carson didn't work out. But I found out that our neighbor across the street stays at home and watches a few kids. She has a 6 month old baby girl. Carson has been enjoying his time over there and he's happy. I feel so blessed to find someone that does so well with him. I feel at peace when I see him smiling when I drop him off and pick him up. Thank you Lord for finding a great person to watch Carson!

Here are some updates on Carson:

His first tooth is now all the way out.

He has a second tooth starting to pop out.

He is sitting up with support from his boppy pillow. He does a pretty good job for the most part of sitting up on his own. I just feel better with the boppy around him in case he falls.

He is babbling all the time. He loves to interact and smiles and laughs.

At bath time he loves to splash!!! He gets us wet from all his splashing!

He enjoys reaching for his toys that are around him and sticks everything in his mouth.

He is also scooting around when on his tummy.

He is such a joy and we love every moment we get to spend with him.
