August and September

So I'm starting to notice that I get so busy spending time with Carson that I keep forgetting to take pictures! My August and September collection is SO SPARCE that I decided to just put them together.

**I vow to do better...


August brought communication from Carson...it started with a "da" here and there. Tony was adamant that Carson was referring to him--I allowed him to believe that :-).

Pretty soon, Carson agressively spouted "da-da-da" AND "ma-ma-ma." My favorite thing has always been to try to get him to say one thing: "ma-ma," and while I am still saying that, he would start to say "DA DA DA!"



Solid foods began to play a big part in Carson's "meal plan." (Just to clarify, Carson skipped completely over 'pureed solids' straight into actual solids. It's been one fun discovery after another :-))


Our little crawler was getting really good at manuvering all around AND pulling himself into standing position!



After a LONG day of crawling and pulling into standing position, both of my boys were exhausted...

September brought more "busy-ness" with school in full swing. Tony and I both learned (and are still learning) to juggle planning, grading, coaching, AND spending time with our little man--all while trying to keep our house in some semblance of order! If there's one thing I've learned, it's to let things go--nothing is more important than this sweet boy...




..he loves his ravioli!! (Please note the chair on his right-GOOBERS all over it! Who is the lucky mommy that gets to clean it up??)
