10 months old!



Carson Todd is ten months old today. He is such a busy and curious boy. He spends most of his time either being a super-sweet snuggler or heading straight for anything he is not supposed to have--garbage cans, shoes, kitty food, stairs, dust bunnies, window blinds, refrigerators [see above]. It makes our days a little hectic, but fun. He is blowing through all the "milestones". Eight teeth and walking already???? Definitely exceeding all of our expectations. I think we can say with confidence that he is destined to be an overacheiver. He's walking like a pro now, but if he wants to get to a dirty shoe before Mama can catch him, he gets down on all fours and crawls at lightning speed. Anytime you try to take something away from him he lets out a blood curdling scream that, if it's any indication of future tantrums, makes me very nervous.

Sweet Alivia Rose


We had a nice surprise visit today from Alivia (and Holly, of course!). Holly came to town to pick her mom up from the airport so they stopped in for a little visit. Carson remains enchanted by her and I think Luke thought she was pretty cute too! She has curls now, by the way...love it!

Carson Walks

We knew it would happen any day now, but I've been saying that for two months. Carson took what was a "half-step" so I grabbed the camera and turned it on. The next time he tried it he walked across the room and, thankfully, I got it recorded! I was a little bit excited. Luke and Drew said we should have a party. I think they are right!

In a perfect world...

See the message on the shirt. What kind of mother would make her children wear this??? Me. Maybe it will serve as a reminder and help me to not be such a pushover when it comes to these sweet boys. HA! They are so easy to spoil though!

How can I say no to a face like that???


And this little lovebug has found a way to weasle himself into our bed every night around 1am...
