Yeah we do!

Carson's Crib (haha)

Stylish Little Dude

Here's Carson modeling some of the cute threads family and friends got him.

Greg wishes he had this shirt...

Whiggety, whiggety, whack!

While he can't even walk yet, Carson has quite a shoe collection.

Who do these remind you of? I actually bought these a few years ago because they were too cute to pass up!

From Great Aunt Sarah, hiking boots for summers in Colorado and...

a pair of cowboy boots (something every little Texan should have).

Juri and Risa sent him his own pair of Japanese geta.

What exactly does "Sleeping Like A Baby" mean?

As you can see in the videos below, Carson is a pretty good sleeper. During one of his recent growth spurts it was pretty rough but we're getting back on track.

We can't help but take photos of him sleeping because a) he's really really cute and b) he sometimes makes the funniest faces or sleeps in the funniest positions.

Here's a few of our favs:

Look at that pout...he gets that from his dad

We call this one "The Sumo"

Here he looks so contemplative

"The Monkey"

Snoozing after a good meal

"The Han Solo in Carbonite"

"Freeze!"

Whatchu Lookin' At?

Hey There Bright Eyes!

Carson makes some of the funniest and cutest faces but it's hard to catch them all on film.

We've had some luck though in capturing a few of the cute moments such as this one:

A standard look is his shocked/surprised look. We can't help but laugh at how wide his eyes get and how they'll stay fixated on something. At first we were worried about the lack of blinking until we read that it's typical for babies. He could smoke anyone right now at a staring contest.

"What!? You're taking me to the doctor!?"

Here he's making some sort of important declaration...

And a few of our other favorites:

Extreme Cuteness!

Best. Thing. Ever.

A few days after celebrating Carson's one month birthday (and were sure he had the hang of breastfeeding) we started incorporating two previous no-no's: bottles and pacifiers.

Greg fed Carson his first bottle and it went OK...he definitely made a "what the heck is this" face before chowing down. The bottles have given us a bit more freedom...well, more so for me. It's nice to have a break now and then.

And the pacifiers...what can I say about the pacifiers? Possibly that they are the best baby related invention ever. I know I'm still a novice mom so that's a strong statement to make but they definitely fall in the top 10.

Before introducing him to a pacifier he seemed content to suck the heck out of Greg's finger:

It took a few tries to get him used to sucking on one but he soon got the hang of it. We often have to hold it in place for a few seconds because he has a tendency to either spit it out or accidentally pull it out of his mouth.

"Soooooo gooooood!"

"Sorry Mommy...you can't have your hand back yet"

"Mmmmmmm"

Bath Time!

No video on this post...we decided to spare your ears. Carson is not a happy camper during bath time as you can see in these photos. He likes to show us how powerful his lungs are.

Since these photos were taken, we've started washing his body first and his head last as we discovered washing his face is what sets off the screaming. Even though this is opposite of the instructions the lady in our child care class taught us, we decided our sanity was worth breaking the rules.

No Sibling Rivalry Here

Oreo is doing a great job being a big sister. We think she's starting to get used to the little guy...it likely helps that he's now sleeping in his own room and sleeping more during the night.

She loves doing drive-by licks and luckily Carson doesn't seem to mind.

Oreo is often very interested during diaper changes and feedings. Lately she'll come into his room during early morning feedings and curl up by the rocker or the crib. We often find her toys in his room...it's as if she just can't wait for him to be old enough to play with her.

She's so protective she even helps with quality control: Here she's decided to check out how comfy a few of Carson's activity mats were...she seemed to approve.
