The Sannes Family!: Too much has been going on!

Too much is going on...we keep saying we'll update this, but then life happens and we forget.

Parker tries his best now to get attention

Carson is getting SO big! He's about 4 1/2 months old, and he just had his 4 month check up. He is 26.5 inches long and 14 lbs 10 oz. He is in the 75 percentile for height and only 30th for weight. The doctor is having us come back in a month, but said that it is normal for babies to drop off for a little bit in the weight department. As long as he's still growing, he should be fine. He is a chubby baby, so I don't think he's lacking in that department! He has rolls and chubby cheeks...that we are both completely in love with! He is teething and drooling up a storm, which creates for very wet outfits. Anything that is put in his hands, goes directly in his mouth...so we always are watching out to what he has grabbed onto!

Genius?

New things: He laughs! His laugh is adorable! He is tickelish on his thighs and sides...and will just laugh and laugh and laugh when you get him going. He loves his jumperoo more and more everyday, and loves chewing on the sun that is attached to it. He finally realized he can spin around in the chair. He also takes his binky out and puts it back in his mouth, even if he drops it next to his head, he'll find it and put it in his mouth. He still sucks on his bottom lip, a lot...which is weird, but it shows that he knows his lips are there! He also puts his feet in his mouth all the time...and will rip off his socks (when he's wearing them). His hair is finally growing, and he very rarely has the mohawk. I miss my "Noob", but I love that his hair looks normal now!

Very happy baby!

Since it's been so long, many new things have been going on! Scott and Sarah got married on October 18th. Carson got all dressed up in his snazzy suit...and was able to dance with lots of pretty people, and just socialize. We all had fun and it was a beautiful wedding. Adams cousin Sarah, who lives in Las Vegas, was finally able to meet Carson and Parker. She was shocked at how short Parkers legs truly are, and she fell in love with the baby. Jenn, Sarah's sister, was up here from Georgia for the wedding...and was able to meet Carson as well. She was in luck, she saw him during his happy moments....and got to experience more babies, since she is due to have a baby girl in early January!

Very cute couple

The week following Scott and Sarah's wedding, Grandma Dorene came over to house sit for Scott for the week. She enjoyed getting some time to see Carson, and cooked us dinner a few nights. Great Grandpa Jack was in town the day before he flew to Las Vegas for his 80th B-Day! We also had a chance to take the dogs to the puppy park.

Carson also got to experience a pumpkin patch before Halloween! We also carved him a pumpkin to sit in :) I guess you can call us "mean parents". For halloween, he dressed up as an "angry candycorn". On the onesie it said "I want candy"...and he wore his owl beanie. Him and Nolan (who was the cutest elephant ever), hung out on Halloween while we all watched movies at Carsons Uncle Steve and Aunt Paula's house.

Angry newborn, give me all your candies!

The close up of his face is priceless

Creativity..we salute you.

A handful of people around us couldn't figure out what we were doing..

Pumpkins that rotted before Halloween, Yes!

Erin and Brandon also came over to hang out with Carson. Erin is so good with babies, and Carson adores her...so it was fun. We even got Brandon to change a diaper!! He's good with babies too! It was great to see them, and hopefully Carson will get to see Erin a lot more now!

Ooh, what's this..new babysitters! Yes!

Carson did stay updated with all of the election stuff, and was awake to see Obama win the election...we both felt it was a huge moment, and we were excited that Carson was able to be a part of this historic moment! Mind you, we know he won't remember it, but it was still cool to see :)

Very tired by the time John McCain gave his speech...

So, we've been busy busy busy....and time is flying. LOTS is coming up. Carsons Grandpa Brent comes into town tomorrow, and he's really excited to see his Grandpa :)

And we want to welcome a new addition to the Porter house. Sarah and Jason welcomed their son, Jackson Douglas into the world on 11/7/08 at 5:25 pm :) We can't wait to meet Jack, and hopefully him and Carson will get lots of playing time in!
