He's not always a fan of 'tummy time' but this time he was having fun :)
Football fan in training.
He's getting so big!
His tongue is sooooo long!
Big beautiful blue eyes

An update.... :-)
These last few days have been a bit wearing on mommy. A little boy that doesn't want to take his naps is not so fun. Well at least won't go to sleep without holding him. My hope is that it's a little phase and it will end soon. Tomorrow is a new day right? :) Even when sometimes I feel so tired because he is just crying and won't sleep, I pick him up and he lays his precious little head on my shoulder and falls asleep, and all my frustration just goes away. It is the most heart warming feeling to have my precious baby sleeping on me, I absolutely love it. God knows exactly what we mothers need when we're tired too.....a little boy sleeping on me or a big smile just melts my heart! :)
He's just a little chunk-a-monk isn't he?! :)
Anyhow, Carson has began sitting! He'll sit there and often hold his little feet (as he does often anyway) and just look around. So adorable. He's so proud of himself too, he'll look at you and get the biggest grin on his face, we love it. He has not yet mastered this new position, but he's gotten a lot better over the last 2 weeks. Once he gets his balance, he'll sit for a while, look around, play, watch us, and then.....topple over. It's quite entertaining for us. Of course on the hard floor we catch him but on our bed, he just falls and it's kind of funny...he doesn't seem to mind at all.

So cute!
Ben loves this one....ride'n cowboy!
Always such a smiley boy!
He is very alert and watches everything. And oh boy, if you have anything in you hand, he WILL reach for it and of course it goes straight to the mouth. Some things it's funny to see the look on his face once it actually gets into his mouth and he realizes, yuk this does not taste good.

Where to begin...
It has been so long since either of us has posted anything....So sorry about that! Here's what's been going on in our lives the last month.
After a long house hunt (we wrote 6 offers and I will add that every offer was a full price offer, no low-ball'n) we FINALLY got a wonderful home. We got the keys mid July and moved our bed and some of Carson's stuff over that night so we could stay in our new home the very first night. We were quite excited, what can I say. So that whole next week we moved stuff every day. We had some wonderful help from family and friends which I will add a great big THANK YOU to! So, with moving meant being constantly on the go....not so good for a baby. By day 2 we realized that this was not going to work, we had a ourselves a fussy baby boy. So we tried to be home more (well at least I was so that Ben could move stuff) so that Carson could get back on his schedule. It was still a difficult week but we got through it.
Now it's been a few weeks and it's kind of starting to feel like a home....slowly. It's taking a while to get photos and wall hangings up but we're working on it. Seems like if I want to hang stuff one of the boys is always sleeping. Needless to say it's taken longer than I would have liked but that's ok. They definately need their sleep :)
We've been enjoying working out in the yard, mowing the grass, transplanting plants, getting rid of plants we don't like, etc. It's actually quite fun, I had missed being able to do yard work. Oh and I cannot forget the 2 new members to our family....our kittens! I just love them, they're so spunky and full of energy, sometimes too much but I still love them. Ben might say otherwise though... but deep down he likes them :)
So that's the update with our living situation! We are so happy here and so thankful to have our first home! Now onto something else...our handsome baby boy!
Carson is now 4 1/2 months old. We're not sure how he got to be this old, but he has. He is doing so many new things, almost every day there's something new it seems like. He loves to smile, all the time, such a happy boy. And if he's not smiling he's looking at you with a very intense look, it's quite funny. He found his toes and loves them, especially on the changing table. As soon as that diaper is off, his little toes are in his hands. It's just the cutest thing. He giggles, even laughs sometimes, drools a lot, sqeals A LOT when he gets excited, sucks on his fingers (usually 2 or 3 at a time), drools a lot, loves to stand, still working on the sitting thing but the bumbo seat is fun, loves to do airplane over your head, drools a lot (did I mention that)...there's a few things and there's tons more. He is absolutely our everything. He brings us so much joy and happiness, and the love that we have for him is incredible. So many other parents told me when I was pregnant about the undescribable love you have for your child when he is born but you never fully understand until your baby is here and it is so, so true. Children are a gift from the Lord!

Eating..
So a month ago...or probably longer, man time goes fast, he discovered that he can chew on his hands. They are constantly in his mouth. Ben always says he's 'eating his hands'. Well he has recently discovered (w/in the last week or so) that he can eat our skin too. If we're carrying him back to the changing table he's usually chewing on our shoulder. Or holding him on our lap, somehow our arm ends up in mouth. It's so funny! And of course he's eating his fingers as we speak :)
