Sorry, it's been awhile since updating again. Life has been busy busy busy lately, and so the blog has been neglected. Pretty soon, it will slow down again...and we'll update regularly!
Tummy time will pay off..
Carson is growing like a weed...which is to be expected for a baby. He's now 3 months old, and on the 19th (his 3 month birthday), we measured him and weighed him. He is now 25 inches long and 13.6 lbs. He's still pretty skinny though for how long he is, and is STILL wearing most of his 0-3 month clothing. Adams co-worker was generous enough to give us TONS of baby clothes, and most of it was barely worn! He is set when it comes to most 6-9 month clothes and 3-6 month clothes. I think we are so fortunate that we have people that think of Carson and his clothing needs. Grandma Dorene and Grandpa Wayne also got him a whole bunch of clothes in Idaho at a Harley Davidson rally. It's also cute how Grandpa Dave buys all the grandkids PJ's...Carson got a sleeper with a green dinasaur on it. He's actually wearing it right now, and he looks adorable!

We decided to go to Wenatchee on 9/12 for Sarah's bridal shower the next day. On Saturday, one of Grandma Dorene's friends gave us an amazing gift. She made a quilt with pictures of us all from our time in the hospital when Carson was born. I mean, there are actual pictures on this quil,t on cloth. It's amazing! She also put the birth announcement on the back of the quilt. We know she spent TONS of time on this, and we cannot thank her enough! Thanks Anna!! While Adam, Scott and Wayne played golf...the girls went to Barbara's house for Sarah's shower. During the shower, we played the game where there are groups and each group has to have a "bride". Carson was our groups bride...and he looked so cute! Unfortunately, he lost to his Great Grandma Gwen. We had to leave that night though, due to having plans on Sunday for my neice, Erica's birthday celebration/shopping trip. Adam made a beef briskit for the Hawks game on Sunday, and was able to enjoy it with Scott.
I do not have and never will have memory of my son dressed in a toilet paper dress..
Fun at the bridal shower

Tuesday the 16th, Carson and I and Grandpa Dave and Grandma Pam all went to the Puyallup Fair! Carson had fun looking at cows, horses, goats, and even a corgi named Princess. He also got a taste of whipped cream and whined for more. Yes, we have a 3 month old baby that whines. It's cute though, and we try not to cave into it. After much stimulation at the fair, we went home, where he was too excited to go to sleep.
Friday, Scott and Sarah came over, and we had Pina Colada's (due to the lack of alcohol in my life for the past year...) Carson got lots of love, as that is never ever ever lacking in his life. Saturday, we watched the Cougs actually win a game! We were all shocked, and Carson was sporting his coug gear on game day. Sunday, Carson and I went with his Grandma Pam and Regina to celebrate her 14th birthday. Carson got to go shopping, and out to lunch.
Someone wake that child up for a Cougar's Victory Dance, uh-rah!
This is where the big news comes in :) We get home on Sunday and Adam put him on his tummy time mat. We try and give him as MUCH tummy time as possible, as he does have a tiny tiny tiny flat spot on his head. So I see that he is starting to roll onto his side (but this time, it looked like he would roll over....) and he DID! He finally rolled over! I, being the over excited mom that I am, start jumping up and down yelling and cheering. Parker runs over and gives Carson kisses, and Adam is super excited too. Carson just laid there, looking like he never wanted to do it again, if he got that response. We are definately excited that he did this. He was so close for awhile, but it's amazing to see your child learn new things. Crazy that 3 months ago, he was a floppy newborn....
Moments after he just rolled over..notice the confused look and his eyes are looking to where he used to be.
His new things are: He LOVES chewing on his hands. They are always in his mouth. He also stares at his feet constantly, which is cute. His hands aren't always fists now, and he grabs stuff. He also loves standing! We are going to get a jumperoo for him, because that is his favorite thing to do. He also goes crazy when his dad plays guitar for him (which he loved when I was pregnant as well!) He also loves his bumbo seat more and more, we set him in it when we eat dinner, so he feels included!

Mom showing Carson he's a big boy..he'll be walking soon.
What can I say...BUMBO seat!
Life is good for us....not one complaint all!
Until next time...
Adam, Taran, Carson and Parker
