So ready for summer weather

This evening it was warm enough to get out Carson's sprinkler mat. We stripped off his clothes, hooked up the sprinkler and let him play. The water was freezing, but that didn't stop little buddy from soaking himself and loving it. I truly believe this will soon by an evening ritual...so glad our little one loves the water as much as his Momma and Papa.

Crazy 8

8 Months that is! Our little guy seems not so little anymore.  He is beginning to really want to move, whether it be rolling, scooting backwards or trying to stand and move along, soon enough we will be trying to keep up with him I'm sure.  Lately he has us constantly laughing too.  He seems to understand when we are being silly and realizes when he is being funny...lots of smiles and giggles in our house now. It has been another fun filled month of growing.... and Carson NOW...
8 Mos with Hungry Hungry


- Went up to Tahoe for Daddy's birthday


- Went to visit Jill with Mommy in Santa Cruz and got to play at the beach in amazing weather for March


- Got up on his hands and knees for the 1st time, and hated it, but hey we are making progress toward mobility


- Has his 2 bottom teeth!

- Has added to his meal time menu- blueberries (an all time fav), papaya, frozen peas, beets, sweet potato fries,  cantaloupe, bread, chicken, blueberry muffin, yogurt, tofu, cheerios, kiwis, pancakes and teething biscuits (the world's messiest snack). And now more than ever wants to feed himself, he is actually quite good at it, but leads to some messy mealtimes!
