Great Visit

Okay, so this post is a little out of order…oh well. My roommate from college, Lily is pregnant and due in April. I went to her baby shower in Santa Rosa Sunday 2/20. It was so great to see her!! She and her husband just recently moved back to California, so I’m hoping maybe we’ll see eachother a little more often than every 6 years!! Here is a picture of Lily looking very cute…and Carson not being very cooperative. And of course he had Sophie the Giraffe with him…one of his favorite things to chew on is Sophie’s nose.

Cousins

We met Grandma Prudhel and Cousin Shawn for dinner last night. Then we headed over to visit Auntie Carol, Uncle Jim, and Cousin Samantha. Here’s a picture of the cousins.

First Trip to the Park

We have a park just a couple of blocks from our house. Saturday we took Carson down to the park for the first time. Wasn’t the best day to be down there. Although it looked like a beautiful day it was COLD! We didn’t stay too long.

Carson loved the swing!

He didn’t quite know what to think about the slides.

Rolling Over Again

Last Saturday (2/19) Carson started rolling over from his back to his tummy. He is now a pro and is doing it all the time!

Here’s a video of him. You’ll have to excuse my horrible videography skills!

Great Grandma Bird

Saturday we drove up to Red Bluff to see my grandma…Carson’s Great Grandma Bird. It was the first time the two of them met as well as the first time Carson has met his Great Uncle Robert. We decided to surprise Grandma since it is her 89th birthday on Tuesday. She got to spend some time with Carson and we took her out to lunch. It was a long day, but well worth it!! We hope Uncle Robert and Grandma enjoyed it as much as we did!

On our way home we stopped at Grandma Prudhel’s house and went to dinner with her. She was happy to see Carson…especially since the last time she saw him he wasn’t feeling so good and was a little cranky!

We have a whole series of pictures of him smiling and laughing. I think we’re going to put together a print that will show the whole series.

Finding His Toes and His Voice

In the last week or so, Carson has really started to take an interest in his toes. He actually sits up pretty well by himself for short periods of time, but those toes are so interesting that he bends in half and takes a header most of the time trying to get them in his mouth.

In addition to finding his toes, he’s also found his voice. He talks and talks and talks.

Apparently our cat, Sam, understands Carson’s language. Here they are having a conversation.

Mirror mirror on the wall…who the heck is that baby and why won’t he talk at all??

Toes make for great entertainment.
