2 month doctors visits and more!

He likes to laugh at even the worst jokes!

On Saturday the 30th, Adam and I went to the WSU game at Qwest Stadium. We woke up early, dropped Carson off at his Uncle Steve and Aunt Paula's, and went off to Seattle. We both met up with Scott and Sarah at Safeco field, where they had their bars open. Since no alcohol is served at Qwest for college games, we took advantage of the alcohol there. After having a few drinks, we went to the game. Our seats were actually really good, and we were close enough that we could probably spit on the field if we wanted. The sun was out, and it was pretty warm. It was a great day to watch football. Sadly enough, the Cougs lost to Oklahoma State University. It was a pretty sad game. We left at the end of the 3rd quarter, so we could get back to Carson and enjoy the bbq that was going on.

At least they kind of look like a football team...

We had awesome seats and alot of fun.

Carson got lots of loves from his cousins though, all his cousin Mateo wanted to do was hold him. It's always nice to know that he'll have lots of friends when he grows up!

Giving lots of loves!

He's trying to sing something, I'm not sure what, but it didn't help the Cougars...

Sunday, we had a bbq at Scott and Sarah's. We had steaks, ribs and corn...and Adam grilled some of his best steaks yet! Carson got to hang out with his Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah, which he loves.

Carson stole uncle Scott's Harley Davidson hat..

Uncle Scott! Aunt Sarah! Change me!

Adam had the next two days off from work, which were spent relaxing.

He's trying to tell me about his day, but I can't understand what he's saying!

Nap time!

Mom has me now, story time, time to go to sleep!

So, on Thursday, Carson had his 2 month well baby checkup (at 2 1/2 months!) The nurse weighed him correctly this time (face down), and he is 12 lbs, 10 oz. He is only in the 50th percentile for weight, so he's kind of on the skinny side. He is 24 1/2 inches long and in the 75th percentile for height. We still call him chubs at times, just cause of his round face, but he actually is long and lean. Carson loved laying on the table with the paper in his diaper. He would kick and kick, loving the "crinkley" noise that it made. The doctor asked if he was holding his head up at a 45 degree angle, and she had to put him on his stomach to look at his back...the second she did that, he showed her that his neck control is amazing, and he held his head up really high. It was so cute. The doctor said that he's perfectly healthy, and doing great. So then he had to get his shots :( The two nurses first gave him the oral vaccine, which he absolutely LOVED. He sucked that thing down, and probably wanted more. The two shots in the legs were rough to watch though. The nurses poked him at the same time...and his reaction went from startled, and the "what was that?" look, to the pouty lip, to full on screaming. Really sad for Mom to watch, which is why Dad was there!

And they wonder why kids hate getting shots...

Dad...just a little to take the pain of those shots away..

Dad wins, baby is alseep!

Carson was pretty fussy for the rest of the day, which was difficult. He did sleep a lot, and I was able to give him infant tylenol...thank God for that stuff!

Friday, we got up and went to Costco and to Fred Meyer. Adams Cousin, Sarah, donated money for Carsons outfit for the wedding...and we got him a little suit. The white shirt is a little snug, so we're getting another one...but the tie, vest and pants will definately fit for the wedding.

Ladies -- Look out!

Saturday was the day of the Coug game. Adam went golfing with Carsons Grandpa Dave, and was back home by noon. Soon after, Adams Mom, Grandma and Aunt Barbara came over to visit. I think Grandma Dorene needed to get her "Carson fix". He was still pretty cranky about the shots, and was tired on top of it...so he was a little fussy. Carson got lots of new clothes from Grandma Dorene. He is going to definately be a well dressed baby! We then watched the Cougs get stomped by Cal. It was a pretty sad day. Carson and I ended up going to my parents house, where we hung out, roasted hot dogs, and talked.

Sunday was another day of football. The Hawks got stomped by the Bills. We all went over to Scott and Sarah's, where Carson got lots of Tummy Time. Gizmo wasn't too thrilled about having the baby in his territory, and was confused about him being on the floor, but he loves babies! After an incident with our slow cooker not working, we made a roast in a BRAND NEW slow cooker! Adam played his new game he got. It was a pretty relaxing night.

Parker is now very involved with Carson. He loves laying down with him for tummy time, and is obsessed with licking his "baby brothers" face. Anytime Carson is on the floor, Parker is right there with him. It is really sweet, and I'm so happy that Parker loves his brother as much as we love him! He adopted a piece of Carson's tummy time mat.

Not sure what to say other than, that's sad..

Carson getting "Corgified"..

So that is it, we are all ready for the wedding in October, and are just enjoying the last of the "warm" days. Fall is upon us, and so is football season. Carson has some Cougar gear, which I'm excited for him to grow into...not that we want him to grow too fast!

Hope everyone is well....we'll update soon!

With Love,

Adam, Taran, Carson and Wiggles (aka Parker)
