Bath Time

Carson's umbilical cord FINALLY fell off last Saturday. Yea!! I couldn't believe it took so long, 3 weeks and a day. Sydney's came off pretty quickly if I remember right. Anyway, our pediatrician said he could take a real bath, rather than a sponge bath, a week after the cord fell off. We only cheated a little and waited 5 days instead of 7. It looks like it's healed well though. He loved sitting in the water and Sydney had a blast getting to be in the bath with him. He did take a little tinkle straight into the air after sitting in the warm water for a few seconds. I've been told several times that little boys do that. It was so funny watching Sydney when she saw it going up in the air. This is not a new thing for Carson, but a first in the bath. He's tinkled a few times when you change his diaper or give him his sponge bath, but it's always been aimed at his own face. He gets so mad (as would I), but it's so hard to catch. I only have so many hands!! Having a little boy is definitely different in that department.

Carson's 1st Trip to Church

Last Sunday was Carson's first trip to church and my first day back since he was born. He was a really good boy. He slept the whole time!! He was definitely teasing me though...there were several times that he made that "I'm about to scream" face, but I was always ready with a passy to stick in his mouth or a hand to rock his seat. Didn't he look adorable in his little blue outfit. Thanks Laura!!

Sydney Loves Carson

What sweet sugar!
Sydney just loves holding Carson. She's pretty fond of stealing hugs and kisses too. She has been such a big girl and helps out a lot with him.

First Visit with Kyle

Don't they look terribly interested in each other.
My friend Valerie and her son Kyle came to visit us last Friday. Kyle was born January 27th, so he and Carson are close in age. We are looking forward to them being buddies as they grow up, but looks like it's going to take a little while. :)

Napping with Bubby

You can always count on Bubby for a good nap. In case you are wondering who Bubby is, he's my baby brother. Kyle was only 11 when Sydney was born, so he was a lot like a brother to her. She started calling him Bubby and that's been his name ever since.

Such a Hansome Boy

Carson is finally getting used to having his eyes open in the light and he's learning to deal with my camera flash. It's in his face a lot! I just thought these pictures were adorable and wanted to share them with you all.

Caught With My Eyes Open

Carson is starting to get used to the annoying camera flash. It took me a while to get a picture with his eyes open, he kept shutting them when the flash started. He has started staying awake and looking around more in the past few days. Today he had two long awake periods of about an hour and a half each. He has his shorter ones as well. It's so fun when he's happy, hanging out, and looking around.
