Blog Dump!

It's been sooooooooo long since I've posted anything on here! We have been taking lots of pictures and videos of Carson, and it's insane how much he's grown already in just 6 months! I can't believe that it's really been that long. So this dump will probably go from his blessing all the way to now! Enjoy...

P.S. As an update Carson is growing like a weed! He was only in the 10% for weight and 25% for height when he was born. At his 4 mo appointment he weighed 15 lbs. 8 oz. and was 26 in long putting him in the 80% for weight and 93% for height.

Day at the Park # 2

Carson, Kaleigh, Jenna and I took advantage of the beautiful day today and went to the park. The main attraction.... ducks! The kiddos enjoyed watching them as they swam around and fought over the bread chunks we through in at them.





These never quite worked out and caught everyone in them... but Kaleigh's eyes look awesome in this picture!



Carson always does that with his head because he is trying to find something to chew on.



Checking out the ducks.











Aunt Jenna and Kaleigh



aw shucks....





Carson is constantly checking everything out now, it's so much fun watching him learn about new things.



Jenna's favorite duck...

Day at the Park

Jason and I took Carson to the park to see the ducks today. We forgot to bring bread so we used a crumbled up granola bar to feed them instead... Not sure that worked out so well for them.











After we had our fill of ducks we checked out the playground.

Mmmmm applesauce.... Or not!

Jason hates applesauce, and apparently the apple doesn't fall from the tree... hehe

The jumper and bumbo

Haha, this bib was courtesy of Aunt Sam...





I love this crooked smile!





Hope his eye's stay gray-green like this.

Stinky Feet!

This totally cracked him up!

New hike

We found a new hike that's not too far from the house (thanks Jer)! The river is deeper and wide there so the dogs love to swim in it and it has a lot of trees and undergrowth so it doesn't feel as "deserty" as a lot of the other places we go!





Proof that AZ does show some seasonal changes, ha.



Sometimes the hikes get a bit long, so Carson usually crashes before we head back to the car.

Bath time!

He's like a fish in water... He loves to kick around and play but has also fallen asleep in the tub because he gets so relaxed...







Titus checkin in to make sure he gets clean!



Time for bed!

Visits

We found out this fall that my Grandpa Smith (my dad's dad) has a large heart aneurysm. It took a turn for the worse and started leaking in November so I decided to make a quick trip out to see him with Carson before Thanksgiving instead of waiting till the spring. My dad and sister ended up being out there at the same time, and we had a nice visit. I'm glad I went then because my grandfather passed away in January, so it was nice to spend some time with him before then.

Grandpa Smith, Me and Carson and Great Grandpa Smith.



It seems like every time these two are together they decide to take a nap.



Grandma Julie lovin on Carson.





Auntie Sam with Carson in his infamous moose pj's.



We got back in time to catch the tail end of my brother's families visit to Phoenix. So we were able to spend an afternoon with Chris, Esther and her bump, and Jay. Esther took some great pictures of Carson and then the two cousins!



This is probably Jason's favorite picture of his boy so far!





Funny how much of a size difference there is right now. Carson and Jay are about 1 year and 4 months apart.



I think Carson was done with the pictures by now, but Jay loves smiling for the camera!

Kaleigh's Blessing

Carsons twin.. er I mean cousin, Kaleigh Ann was blessed today. And it gave us the opportunity to take some good pictures with family.
The cousins and their mamma's!
