You don't say??

Fun with the GPs!

Grandpa Dennis returns from Mandalay Bay long enough to feed Carson his dinner!

Playing with Papa Dave

By the Town Square Christmas Tree with GB

Still in the pool in November...

Kind of look like this guy....Uh oh!!

Hugs!

Carson is having a great time with three of his grandparents in town!

We haven't taken any pics with Grandpa Dennis yet, as he has been at Mandalay Bay all day long, browsing the nickel slots. But if and when we see him again, he will be absorbed in wonderment with Mr. Carson. The Hurricane Dennis and the Smiths are loving grandparenthood more than ever now that Carson is the biggest ham on planet Earth.

Carson has a few new tricks these days. He gives hugs! If he's sitting on the ground and you say "Hugs!", he holds out his arms and leans in towards you and gives you this big juicy baby hug. It is the sweetest thing ever. He is also moving quite a bit more on his belly, rotating in almost a full circle by kicking his legs and waving his arms. I am thinking that crawling isn't too far behind.

Uh oh! Here are some pics from the last couple of days.

Carson and Papa Dave

Below: Carson with his rattle from Great Grammy - thanks to her for this awesome toy.

He loves it!

And finally........Hugs!!

Cuter than average

Just some pics from our playtime today. Carson looks particularly cute today. He just woke up today and is somehow cuter than yesterday. I don't know how!

Carson is obsessed with the remote. Yes, it has begun. I don't have a chance of watching Gossip Girl once I have to try to steal the remote from both Jason AND Carson!

Does this make my butt look big?

As of yesterday, Carson is the proud owner of a cloth diaper.

Yes, I said it. A cloth diaper!

I ordered one for him.....notice I said ONE....just to see how it would work. One of the moms in my mom's group recommended the "Bum Genius" type to me and said that she really likes using it. Now, I never pictured myself to be the cloth diapering, homemade baby food making, breastfeeding until after 6 months type of mother. But alas, here I am, doing all three.

The funniest thing about Carson's cloth diaper is that it makes his butt look massive (see above).

Let it also be known that Jason thinks I am utterly crazy for even ordering a cloth diaper.

There is a very good chance that I am.

On a side note....you can see Carson's mullet in the picture above. Carson was born with all of this crazy brown baby hair all over his head. Over the last 6 months, it has receded into this perfectly shaped, 80's style baby mullet that refuses to go away. I can't bring myself to cut it. It is Carson's style....the way he was intended! There is a good chance that in Carson's lifetime, the mullet will resurface as high fashion. But for now....we have a baby with a stylin' mullet that wants to stay the course. We will be sure to show it to his future prom dates.

The weather is perfect here right now. Above is Carson pictured in his stroller....our favorite thing to do right now is to get out and walk in the mid-70's and sunny weather! We have some visitors coming to see us this weekend - Grandma Barbie and Grandpa Dave arrive on Friday night and the Hurricane himself, Grandpa Dennis, blows into town on Sunday. Should be a fun week before Thanksgiving!!

Giggle Monster

While Carson and Jason were playing today, I think we determined Carson is TICKLISH! Here he is giggling with his daddy!

Jump around!

Carson inherited his godbrother Isaiah Oliver's much heralded jumperoo this weekend. We retrieved it yesterday from the Oliver house and Carson has been enjoying it ever since. It's been a great weekend thus far. The weather here is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and we have been taking tons of walks. Carson is more and more the explorer these days....he will get into anything he can get his little chubby bubby hands on.

At Springs Preserve with Mom, Kellie, and Parker. Below...corn in Nevada?!?!?!

Some pics with Mommy....we are never pictured together because I am always taking pics of him! Mamarazzi alert!

Carson rocks some serious peach fuzz on his dome these days.

Loving his jumperoo....Who says that white babies can't jump?!?! :)

Loving dinner with Dad.
