My little man turned 10 months old last week! Carson has reached some exciting new milestones recently. Last month he officially mastered crawling and now is crawling all over the place. He loves his new found mobility and freedom to explore. He gets so excited when he escapes down the hall that he just giggles like crazy. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever! Little moments like that make me feel so grateful that I get to be a stay-at-home mom. He's also discovered how to climb stairs. We don't have any stairs in our little apartment, but the other day at a friend's house he found their stairs and knew right what to do. Discovering the stairs of course got Carson very excited and again there was lots more giggling. Love it! Any of you who have ever met Carson or even seen a picture of Carson know that he is quite the little drool monster. He's been drooling none stop since he was 4 months old. I thought he'd been an early teether for sure with that much drooling, but boy was I wrong. Here we are at 10 months and he is just finally getting one little tooth beginning to break through. Wahoo! We went to the doctor this Monday and Carson had another ear infection. This is his 6th one. We opted to have the antibiotic shots before going straight to tubes. 4 trips to the doctor this week and 3 shots later we are keeping our fingers crossed that these shots work.
Here are some more things about Carson lately:
- Loves to babble and says mama, dadda, and babba (hearing him say mama just melts my heart)
- Loves to play in his crib during nap time and throws his binkis out of the crib at least once or twice before finally going to sleep. (Needless to say we've lost many binkis because of this)
-Finally decided he likes food after all and doesn't like baby food any more. Some of his favorites include pancakes, bread, muffins, burritos, yogurt, potatoes, french toast, cherrios, graham crackers, and animal crackers.
-Loves being around other kids and thinks they're so funny.
-Busy, busy, busy. Doesn't like to hold still for very long...too many new things to check out and discover I guess.
- Is tall and skinny. At his last doctor's appointment we found out he is only in the 4th percentile for his age. Maybe he's got a bit of Chad's genes. :)
- Figured out how to click his tongue and does it randomly throughout the day.
- Loves paddy cake and singing songs
Carson loves to dump out all his toys
Our good friend let us borrow her johnny jumper. Carson has turned into a jumping machine.
This is his favorite shelf to clean off multiple times a day. See how pleased he is. :)
Plays and plays in his crib at nap time until he ultimately ends up just crashing in the funniest positions due to pure exhaustion.
Playing with the matryoshka dolls on his favorite shelf.
He loves picking up this canister and yelling into it to hear the echo. So cute!
Continues to be such a happy boy full of smiles!
Chad has fun finding random things do with Carson...this time was putting him in a box.
