Off to Chicago!
Carson is spending the day getting psyched up for his second ever plane trip tomorrow. We are off to Chicago and Iowa to spend the holidays with our beloved family. We can't wait to see everybody and to have Carson spend his first Christmas surrounded by all the people that love him so much. An airplane ride always promises to be an adventure with a baby. We will be bringing the Southwest airlines drink coupons to pass out to our fellow travelers that will be raspberried upon by our baby boy. We made the decision to fly during Carson's bedtime...a decision that will prove to be either extremely genius or completely stupid. Only time will tell us which it is!

I can't put my arms down!
Step 2: Enter coat, mittens, and hat. Carson is officially paralyzed because he can't move his arms nor his legs in this contraption.
Step 4: Remove all clothing and stare at mom like she's crazy.....because she is!!
Holy smokes!
A little ditty from the Weather Service from today....I like how they have to describe what a winter storm warning means.
SNOW REACHING THE LAS VEGAS VALLEY FLOOR BEGAN TO FALL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND SNOW IS NOW EXPECTED TO ACCUMULATE ON THE VALLEY FLOORS ACROSS CLARK AND SOUTHERN LINCOLN COUNTIES. SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT BEFORE TAPERING OFF THURSDAY MORNING. THIS RARE SNOW EVENT IS EXPECTED TO BRING BRING ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES TO THE VALLEY FLOORS AND UP TO 10 INCHES TO THE FOOTHILLS ABOVE 2500 FEET. A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE FORECAST FOR THE DESERT ROADS WHICH RARELY SEE ACCUMULATIONS. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL...KEEP WARM CLOTHING...AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT...FOOD...AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

I didn't sign up for this...
Most of you know that Jason and I moved to Las Vegas because we hate snow and cold weather.
Looks like we're going to have to move to Cabo because it's snowing in Las Vegas today!
Here's a short video from our front doorstep this morning. Not that you all haven't seen snow before....but in Las Vegas, this is a major event!

7 month wonder boy
The only constant is change, especially when it comes to Carson's hair.
His mullet has all but disappeared, leaving TONS of wispy, white blonde hair on his head that sticks straight up. Unless we put gel in it, it sticks up hopelessly. It reminds me of Carson's Aunt Annon, age 10, who was born with a full head of hair that nothing could tame....not gel....not Vaseline.....which remained for months and months until it was long enough to lay down.
Gel works on his....but untamed, it is pretty hilarious!

Ball handling skills
Carson can now "roll the ball". Check out his super fly skills!
Harlem Globetrotters....be ready!
Thanks for the fun, Smiths!

Carson is drinking the "hatorade" when it comes to asparagus. My baby food book said that he can begin eating asparagus in the 7th month. I made some for him and we tried it today.....his disgust is pretty hilarious in the video. I have to say that Carson is a GREAT eater, though. He eats basically everything....even baby foods that smell nasty (like spinach with carrots...for instance). He isn't picky and pretty much mows down whatever is in front of him. He eats A LOT. At dinner, he ususally eats 4 tablespoons of cereal, a big jar of baby food, and then eats a full bottle before bed. Fatty!!

Precious!
Check them out!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Coincidentally, the special first night of sleeping through came on the night we put up our Christmas tree. It's a Festivus Miracle!
Carson is getting funnier by the day. He is a busy, busy boy. We had our first "forward movement" where Carson pushed off my leg with his feet and grabbed a toy while on his belly. He sits up well enough that he can play by himself for awhile while seated and I don't worry about him toppling over. Papa Dave baby proofed our cabinets the other day and I am thinking it won't be long before we're glad we have that done!
