The latest and greatest...

Carson and his buddy Jackson

January has flown by!! Carson continues to grow and develop in ways that are just amazing!! We had his 4-month-old doctor's appointment today...Carson now weighs 16 lbs, 5 oz and is 25 inches long...he's in the 75th percentile. He also had his second round of shots today and he did so much better this time! Our tough little man barely cried! Carson has been eating rice cereal for a couple weeks now and he is doing great! We introduced baby food by adding a little to his rice cereal and today we got the "go-ahead" from the doctor to start him on straight-up baby food...so we are excited to see how he does!

The other day Carson go to spend time with his buddy Jackson...we babysat at our house while Jackson's Mommy and Daddy had something to do. It was so much fun...both of the boys were mesmerized by each other and it was the closest feeling to twins that I have experienced...I now have a new appreciation for my Mom!!

New Year = Try New Things

Big Boy!!

Seth, Casady, and Carson

So...we're into 2009 and Carson continues to grow! He is as big as some of his 6-month-old friends...it's crazy!! We had a holiday party this past weekend and it was a blast! Carson got to meet his new friend Casady Leone and he got see his friend Seth Kolterman again...man how the boys have grown since they saw each other back in October!!

Carson has been having a rough time lately with sleeping...so Mommy has decided to throw in the towel and try something new! Rice Cereal...here we come! The doctor said we would discuss introducing this into Carson's diet at his next appointment, but 3 weeks is an awfully long way away!! Carson has been waking up 2 times each night because he is hungry...the child just isn't getting full enough! So, we are taking matters into our own hands and we'll see how our first rice cereal meal goes this afternoon!! Wish us luck!
