Merry Christmas!

We are so excited about our first Christmas with Carson! Even though he is too young to know what is going on, we cannot wait for Santa to come and we are excited to see all of our family! Christmas Eve we are going to Alabama to visit daddy's extended family. Then, on Christmas day, we are dividing the day between mommy's family and daddy's family here in GA...it will be busy, but so much fun!

We want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!!

Home Sweet Home!

Carson with Nanny and Poppop

Carson with Uncle Rob, Aunt Cindi, and Robbie

Mommy and Carson at Ice World...brrr!!

Carson loved to sit in Robbie's highchair!!!

We got back from our trip to Baltimore, MD yesterday! Carson and I had such a good time and were sad to leave our family, but we are happy to be back home with Daddy! Carson got to meet his Great Uncle Rob, Great Aunt Cindi, and cousin Robbie! Robbie's 6th birthday is coming up, so we were there for his birthday party at Ice World...it was so much fun...and SO cold!!! Nanny and Poppop were also in town for the party, so we got to spend time with them as well! Carson did so good on the airplane...he slept about half of the way going up, and the whole way coming back home!!

BIG BOY!

We had our 2-month-old doctor's appointment today! If you have little ones...you know what this means...SHOTS!!!

Well, first we want to update you all on Carson's stats...He now weighs 13 lbs, 2 oz and is 23.5 inches long! He is in the 90th percentile for his weight and the 75th percentile for his height. The doctor said he is definitely not malnutritioned...he's the size of a 4-month-old!!

So after an exam by the doctor, the nurse came in to give the shots! Cindy immediately handed Carson off to Johnathan and we all prepared for the screams! Carson received 3 needle shots in his legs and one liquid shot...not the alcoholic kind, although it probably would have helped the little guy!! Daddy had to hold Carson down, Carson screamed bloody murder, and Mommy cried!! It was all over quickly though and he held Mommy's hand the whole way home and finally fell asleep. Thank goodness for infant Tylenol!!

Welcome Caroline Elizabeth Stover!!

We are so happy for our friends, Julia and Patrick Stover...they welcomed a baby girl into their family yesterday! Caroline Elizabeth is beautiful and we cannot wait to meet her!

It's the Holiday season!!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This year, we are so thankful for our Carson-man and all of our family and friends...it has truly been a wonderful year for us and we are so glad to have you all to share it with!!

Now we're getting ready for Christmas! The next month is going to be hectic for us...visits with family and parties to celebrate birthdays and the holidays...we are really looking forward to it all!

We had to post this picture of Carson...his Aunt Liz took it and it really shows how adorable our son is...of course, we are biased, but we think you all will agree with us!

Cute little man!

So...Carson has started to really respond to us...it is awesome! He loves to hear his name and play the 'fore-knocker, eye-winker' game...it's a game his Bootsy (Cindy's dad) would have loved to teach him if he was still here. Carson is developing a fun personality and it is amazing to compare pictures from 8 weeks ago to now...he's growing so fast!!

We are so excited because Carson gets to meet his Nanny and Poppop on Thursday!! They are coming in town from Charlotte for Turkey day!

Go Dawgs...and Roll Tide too!!!

From the mind of Carson...

So...my Mommy and Daddy like different football teams. This poses a problem on gameday because I have no say in which team I am going to root for. See...Daddy is happy this year because Alabama beat Georgia...so I decided to wear an Alabama shirt for him a couple weeks ago...luckily Georgia wasn't playing that day, so Mommy didn't care too much. Today though...both Mommy and Daddy's teams were playing...what was I to do??? So...since Mommy feeds me and all, I decided she wins...so I sported my Georgia gear today! The dawgs won...yippee!! Alabama is playing LSU now and they are winning 21-14...ROLL TIDE!

Wow...it's been 5 weeks!

Okay, so we're not the best at this blog thing! Sorry! Carson is now 5 weeks old..time has flown by! We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and they said he looks great! He now weighs 10 lbs, 5 oz and is 21 3/4 inches long. He is in the 75 percentile for his weight and the 90 percentile for his head...wow! That's okay...we just think he has a big brain! We are having so much fun getting to know our little man...parenthood is awesome!!!

Carson David Sims

He's finally here! We've been meaning to update the blog, but obviously things have been busy for us the last 10 days! Carson David Sims joined our family on Friday, September 26. After a pretty hard labor, he was born at 9:17 p.m. Weighing in at 7 lbs., 7 oz. and measuring 20.5" long. He is beautiful and we are thrilled!! The last 10 days have been great...we've had a lot of visitors and lots of help and support from family and friends! We can't wait for everyone to meet our little man!

Getting Started...

So, we've decided to try out the blogging world!! To get this thing started, we thought we would give a baby update...since that is what is consuming our lives right now! Cindy is due on October 1, but as of the last doctor appointment, we know she won't make it to her due date! According to the doctor, the baby will make his grand appearance sometime in the next 7 days. Cindy is progressing with contractions and we're both just waiting for the "it's time" time to hit us! We'll be sure to post pictures and an update as soon as possible! Oh...and for those we haven't told yet, we have finally named this little guy...Carson David Sims!
