We had our 15 month check up last week with our new pediatrician here in Houston. She was wonderful and made me feel better about Carson’s head being in the 81st percentile. He weighs 25 pounds (58%) and is 30 inches tall (25%). I feel like I can’t keep up with every funny and entertaining … [Read more…]
Carson took his first step back in November, about a week after his first birthday. Since then he’s really just taken 5 or so steps at a time, and usually has to have some smiling face and a pair of open arms at the other end of his trek to make it worth his while. … [Read more…]
Ben suggested we take a little day trip to Galveston after church today, and while this meant I would get nothing done around the house, I agreed. We drove around for a while, walked along the sea wall, sat and played on the lawn of the Hotel Galvez, then went to Gaido’s for dinner. It … [Read more…]
Howdy, y’all! Special thanks goes out to everyone who helped make this cowboy party so very wonderful! There is no way I could have pulled it off alone, and it wouldn’t have been so great without all the family and friends who came out to celebrate. Thanks for making Carson’s 1st birthday party such a … [Read more…]
I remember a year ago today perfectly. At exactly this time 1 year ago, Carson wasn’t officially here yet. We were at BSA, and had been there since about 7am. Carson didn’t arrive until 9:58pm. People always make a terrible face when I tell them this. You were in labor ALL DAY? We went to … [Read more…]
Getting Carson in this outfit and snapping some shots of my sweet little crab (or at least what we think is a crab…it’s a confusing costume) was all we did for Halloween this year. I thought about trick-or-treating around the circle my parents live on, and then eating the goodies myself. But that felt a … [Read more…]
When I started writing this post I noticed 2 drafts in my WordPress. One draft for 10 months, and one draft for 11 months. I have not been keeping up. I blame it on my ever increasingly mobile child. Is it bad to blame things on your kid? I think it is. So I guess … [Read more…]
Just some examples of what Carson got himself into today. I do not look forward to some of the tumbles, busted lips, and broken household items that are inevitably in our future…
Carson has been army crawling for some time now. Here are some shots from yesterday afternoon. He’d crawled into the dining room, so I went in there with the camera and sat on the floor in front of him. The camera was a great incentive for him to crawl over to me. He’s grabbing for … [Read more…]
9 months and 9 days, actually. But the day after Carson’s 9 month birthday we were on our way back from California for my cousin Katie’s wedding. In the Denver airport on our way to catch our connecting flight to Amarillo Ben was offered a job in Houston, which he accepted. So, we will be … [Read more…]
