Really? 7 months? It’s true. I cannot believe it. I have a feeling that I’ll blink and he’ll be running around outside getting into all kinds of dirty, germy things. Then I’ll blink again and he’ll be graduating high school. Yikes. This boy loves to eat, even though he isn’t great at it yet. He … [Read more…]
My baby food maker is wonderful. It’s the Babycook from Beaba. Could the same results be achieved with a steaming basket and food processor? Of course. But this is so small, convenient and cute. Did I just call an appliance cute? So far I’ve made sweet potatoes, green beans, pears and peas for Carson, and … [Read more…]
Carson had his 6 month check up yesterday morning. He weighs 16 pounds and is 28 inches long, 22nd and 92nd percentile respectively. He had to get 3 shots. Not fun. But after a long nap he and I had a great day getting lunch with some friends and then spent some time in the … [Read more…]
Last mother’s day Ben took me out to eat and had roses waiting at the restaurant. He’d gone out earlier in the day and dropped them off. How did I snag such a wonderful man? We both knew I was pregnant with baby Z then, but I wasn’t very far along in the pregnancy so … [Read more…]
As of today, Carson is actually 5 months and 5 days old…mom is just a little late on getting this post up. Our little guy is changing every day. He is eating rice cereal for dinner now followed by a bath since no one is left clean after a meal with this kiddo. I made … [Read more…]
Kate and Ellie flew in to Amarillo this weekend. It has been so nice to have them here! We’ve really enjoyed our time with them and will be sad to see them go. I love where we live, but I don’t love that we don’t get to see our families more often. I think this … [Read more…]
We haven’t quite mastered this, but we get better every time we try it!
On Monday, Carson’s 4 month birthday, he got 5 vaccines and started medication for his congestion and nasty little cough. He weighed in at 14 1/2 pounds, in the 40th percentile, and is in the 90th percentile for height. He rolled over twice last week, but hasn’t done it since. He’s grabbing a lot more … [Read more…]
This doesn’t really qualify as a ski trip for Carson, but he did have his first trip to the mountains of New Mexico. We spent last weekend with Ben’s parents in Angel Fire. It was nice to have a weekend away. I skied with Ben and Steve on Friday, but I just lasted a half … [Read more…]
We got a good one today along with a few laughs. I know this isn’t big, exciting news to many people, but these little things make my day!
