Mr Studious

When the boys are at my parent's house, Carson always wants to wear my dad's reading glasses. So they ended up buying him his own pair so he could stretch them out, scratch them, do whatever a 2-yr wants to do with glasses. Here he's contemplating what he can get them to buy him next...

Thankfully the marker was a dry erase marker, so it wiped off easily.

Almost walking...

Caleb is 10 months now and on the verge of walking. He's been cruising around for a month or so, but just in the past week has he found the courage to let go of the furniture on his own initiative.



While Carson loved all his push-behind toys (he needed the security I guess), Caleb doesn't have much use for them...this is a rare photo of him pushing one. He's just ready to take off on his own.

Week-end in Jackson

Last month we spent the week-end in Jackson, TN to visit with Shea's sister and her family. No one entertains Carson quite like his cousin Bryson. They stayed busy bouncing on the trampoline....




Then Bryson gave Carson a wild ride in his gator. Carson thought he was big stuff splashing thru the puddles.

Lining things up

When I went into Carson's room yesterday to get him up from his nap, I walked into this....
obviously he was playing instead of napping


But what made me laugh out loud was that he had taken every pair of shoes out of the drawer and lined them up perfectly. He wasn't able to tell me the purpose of the line, but it was certainly straight. And if you know Carson, you know how he lines up everything, from his cars, to now, his shoes.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We stayed home this year and enjoyed our church service and lunch with my family. And yes, the boys are in matching outfits!

My 3 favorite guys!

Carson on his first Easter egg hunt. We hid a few eggs in the backyard and let him find them while we waited for lunch to be ready.
He did pretty good finding the eggs. I did put some candy in the eggs, but he was more interested in hearing the candy shake in the egg than actually eating it...for now anyway!

Happy 2nd Birthday Carson!

Carson turned 2 on Feb 2nd! He's a little boy now, but still sweet as ever!
Thanks to Carson's loving grandparents and aunts & uncles, he wasn't deprived of presents....

Since he is obsessed with CARS, it was only fitting that Lightning McQueen be on his birthday cake. I never though I would watch a movie so many times, but he's yet to tire of it. At least it is a cute movie.
Enjoying every bite!
Kackie never comes to visit empty-handed, so she brought the boys matching outfits. Here, Caleb is modeling his in the 'downward dog' pose (I don't know where he learned this, but he's certainly perfected it).
Happy Birthday Carson. We pray for you daily, that you will accept Christ as your Savior one day and that you grow up to be a man after God's own heart. We love you dearly!

Caleb is already 6 months old?

Where does the time go? I can't believe Caleb is already 6 months old! It really does go by faster with the second child! He had his 6 mo checkup earlier this week and needless to say, he is quite healthy. He already weighs 19 lbs (75%) and is almost 29" in length, which was off the charts for his age. And for those of you who think he may have gotten his dad's 'Pope' head, it was actually quite 'normal' (50%)...rather surprising, I know! You're a cutie, Caleb, and we love you very much!!!
