Carson's boo boo

Carson fell over my feet last night and hit his lip on my armoire. It was horrible! Poor baby was screaming and bleeding. He's okay, but Mommy is still having a hard time.

Uncle Scott's birthday

We travelled to Chillicothe with Grammy and Grampy on Sunday to see Uncle Scott for his birthday. Carson was more concerned with seeing Baby Ben, but that's okay. He was quite excited about Uncle Scott and Aunt Mary once we got there. The boys had a great time together, and Carson wanted to constantly hold and/or pick up Baby Ben. Oh, gracious!

Carson's purse

Carson is now carrying around this purse and saying it's his purse and he needs to take it everywhere. He "needs" it in order to leave the house, especially if we're going shopping somewhere. Cracks me up!

Cupcakes

Carson helped me bake cupcakes on Saturday. I asked if he wanted to make cookies or cupcakes, and he chose cupcakes. I even let him help with the beater!! He did a great job! He even helped decorate with chocolate frosting and colored sprinkles.These were the best cupcakes I've ever made - even Cj says so. They were still moist on Monday when I took them to work and Tuesday when I took some to daycare. I'm pretty proud of us. :) As you can tell by Carson's face, they tasted pretty good.

Tanner picked out this shirt for Carson - I love it!!

I tuck!!
having fun
Carson got a snowsuit from one of my insureds (thank you, Michelle!!) and we decided to test it out. Cj had to come home instead of going to the gym, so he could play with Mommy and Baby. It was quite funny, especially when Carson would fall. He would lay there and say, "I tuck" (I stuck). Cracked us up. Reminded us of the little kid in "Christmas Story" that had his arms out and couldn't move with all the padding. Carson had a great time and was not happy about having to go inside. I will say the suit was wonderful and he stayed warm and dry. Success!!

Fingerpainting with pudding

I had Carson home with me while I was off work between Christmas and New Year's. I got vanilla pudding and put food coloring in it as a fun art project. Plus, I figured it would be safer than regular finger paint AND it would be easier to clean up. It was a fun project that we may need to do again!!

Christmas with Uncle Scott, Aunt Mary, and Baby Ben

Uncle Scott, Aunt Mary, and Baby Ben came over the day after Christmas. Carson was SO excited to see Baby Ben and asked immediately if he could hold the baby. I think he kept hoping that Ben would get up and start playing. No such luck. :(

Christmas 2009

Santa brought Carson a kitchen that makes noise for Christmas and Mommy and Daddy gave him some kitchen accessories that actually work! The blender twists and makes noise and the coffee pot actually filters water. Carson's fave is the mixer and he carries it everywhere while "making noise." We couldn't get him to open any more presents after that! Tanner got a guitar from Dad and Danie and Santa brought him the Lebron James basketball shoes he was wanting. It was a great day! Grammy and Grampy had trouble coming over with the lovely snow and the horrible accumulation of snow that hadn't been plowed at the entry to our subdivision. Needless to say, Grampy watched the cars driving and the snow plows running like he watches the contruction in Cabo. Cracked me up! It was wonderful to have the family together.
