Carson is 1!!

So actually he turned one 8 days ago on October 3rd…but as usual, I’m behind!

I can’t believe a year is already gone. It seems like we blinked and it was over. It is amazing to think of everything he has accomplished in a single year!

  • He is now a master walker (most of the time moving at a speed closer to a run!!)
  • He has a small arsenal of words…hi, mama, dada, daddy, nom nom (this is our word for his pacifier), bye bye, nigh nigh
  • He loves to read books!
  • He loves his kitties…especially Coco Bean since she doesn’t generally run from him. He’s actually pretty gentle with her too!
  • He loves to be outside although he’s still not so sure about grass.
  • He loves swings!
  • He has the sweetest little giggle and is always smiling.
  • He has 6 teeth…the 6th one popped through a few days after his birthday.
  • He always has to have something in at least one hand if not both.
  • He likes to “sing” and/or “dance” to music.
  • He does NOT like bubbles (or bubble baths)
  • He loves to go for bike rides…although we haven’t managed to go in a while.
  • He generally sleeps from 8pm to 6:15am.
  • He loves his little buddy Sofia from daycare (which is good because we switching from daycare to a nanny share with Sofia’s family).

He’s generally a happy, easy going little boy who is absolutely everything to me and Steve!

Since I’ve been awful at posting, here are a few pictures

Carson ate the entire carrot cake cupcake after eating a huge lunch! He methodically ate all the frosting off the cupcake first then ate the cupcake.

Sofia got Carson a cell phone for his birthday. They were both walking around during the party with the phones to their ears saying “hi”

When we did Carson’s 1 year pictures, the photographer let Steve use their lenses and their Canon 1D Mark 3 to take pictures at the same time. She also gave him some pointers for taking pictures of him in the future. We haven’t gotten the pictures back from the photographer yet, but here are some pictures that Steve took. I haven’t had a chance to do any color correction or editing yet.

The last picture is Carson in all his biking gear!! He loves riding on the back of the bike!
