Helping Aunt Nat with Laundry

And, yes, that is a hair roller on his head:)

Taking a break...laundry is hard work, you know!

Bouncing Baby Boy

Bathtime

Fun at the Park

Natalie and Megan took Carson to the park before Derek's baseball game yesterday. He looks to be a fan of the swing (and the grass). This kid will eat almost anything!

Six Month Check Up

Carson had his six month check-up today. Here are his stats:

Weight: 19.1 lbs (75th percentile)
Height: 27 inches (75th percentile)
Head: 18.5 cm (off the charts!)

I was a little surprised at his weight this time around. I thought for sure he was somewhere in the twenties. He has only gained 1.5 lbs since his last visit at four months old. My back and knees are telling me a different story! His height stayed the same, even though he seems so much longer to me! He had to get four shots, all of which he was VERY MAD about. The patients in the waiting room could hear the screaming it was so loud. He promptly passed out in the car after from exhaustion. Overall, he is growing as he should be. He has been fortunate to be a very healthy baby from day one. Hopefully, that good health continues through the winter months.

Carson does pretty well at sitting up on his own now. He loves playing with his toys and anything he can fit into his mouth! He especially loves musical toys and those that make noise. He is rolling onto his stomach at light speed, but hasn't quite figured out how to get back over just yet. He loves the kitty and laughs whenever she walks by or gets close to where he is sitting.

We are excited to try all of the new approved foods now that he is six months old. I will be surprised to see what he turns away, if anything. So far, he has loved everything we have put in his mouth!

Go Rams!!

Carson is officially ready for football season with his "My First Rams Tee" t-shirt.

Outgrowing his Tub

Carson is so long that he is outgrowing his infant tub, but isn't quite ready to sit up on his own in the big tub. So, for now, we still squish him into his little blue tub every night and it seems to work. He loves to chew on his orange hippo , not the white one or the green one, the orange one. He actually has a preference on his bath toy. This is important stuff, you know!

Watching Football with Daddy

This is how he sat for a good half hour watching football on the big screen with his daddy. As you can imagine, Wally was thrilled!

Happy Kid

U of U Picnic

The Reproductive Clinic at the Univeristy of Utah had a picnic for all of the patients and their families. We are so grateful to them for helping us bring Carson into our world! They do amazing things when you feel like their isn't much hope. There were ALOT of twins at the picnic and even a set of quadruplots! We were happy to have our "singleton" as they call him:) It was fun to see the doctors and nurses that spent so much time making sure our dream of having a baby came true. It was also fun to talk to other couples who had gone through a similar experience as we had and shared the same outcome. We will definitely continue to go each year as Carson grows older. He will know the important role they played in getting him here.

I didn't take any pictures at the actual picnic (duh!), but here is a shot of Carson all dressed and ready to go show off how cute he is!

First Haircut

Carson had his first haircut today! He was such a good boy to sit still and let the stylist do her thing. A little Spongebob Squarepants on the tv in front of him helped, too! He got a cute certificate with his picture and a lock of his hair.
