5 month old Keeb!!

Carson is 5 months old as of yesterday! We are so happy that he's growing and learning new things!! We really couldn't imagine life without him, but at the same time, it's flying by so fast! It feels like just yesterday we were in the hospital....

He talks and talks, but we can't understand him yet..

More exciting news, on 11/17, he rolled over back to front for the first time. He was getting pretty good at the belly to back, but had never rolled back to belly before. Watching it was amazing...but it happens few and far between, as he really isn't a huge fan of tummy time.

And there he goes...

I think he's about as happy as we are for him to roll over

On the 11th, Carsons Grandpa Brent came to visit all the way from Florida. It was great to see him, and see him get to see his grandson for the first time. Of course, he fell in love with Carson, and it makes me so happy that he was able to bond with him for a day.

Jet-lagged, but never too tired to hold the grandkids.

The day after Grandpa Brent left, Carson, his Aunt Paula and I went to the Olive Garden for lunch. Carson LOVED looking at all the decorations, and even got to try a little tiny piece of bread. Seriously, it was smaller than a grain of rice, and he acted like it was poisen...gagging and all. Poor kid. I was lucky enough to get the reaction on camera....

Screw the binky, bring me some food!

Adam went to Wenatchee to go hunting on the 14th with his dad and uncle Sandy. It was hard to watch him go for the weekend, while Carson stayed here...but we did have some fun while his Daddy was gone :) Saturday, we went over to Matt and Tonia's to watch some football with Paula, Steve and Nolan. Carson got to play and Mom got to relax for awhile. It was nice. On Sunday, we decided to Surprise Adam by driving over to Wenatchee. It was A LOT colder over there! But Grandma Dorene and Grandpa Wayne were very excited to see Carson. Adams cousin, Ashley, was also there to visit.

Adam and his Dad shot a deer on Tuesday morning. The deer was shot at Mission Creek; after a mile and a half of hiking in, we spotted this one around a hillside road. Not too bad for a last day, last minute buck. We're looking forward to deer steaks and backstraps! We headed back to Kirkland that night. It was a nice break.

'bout 9:00, time to smoke some pinners and get whiskey drunk

Carson is such a great baby, he really never cries and is always smiling. We are both so lucky to have such a happy baby around! We couldn't have asked for a better son. We are probably going to be starting rice cereal soon, depending on what his pediatrician says on the 26th. We are going in for a checkup, and to get the Hib shot that he missed (since they were out at his 4 month appt). He still has no teeth, which is fine with us! But he is a drooling machine. He also likes to put anything and everything in his mouth....so hands must be clean at all times.

Things that are exciting for us, we are seeing Twilight tomorrow night while Carson is being babysat by his Uncle Scott and Aunt Sarah. Saturday is Apple Cup, so he will definately be decked out in his Coug gear. He does have his doctor appt check up, and then Thanksgiving!

Wonk!

We are blessed, and so in love with our little boy....

Adam, Taran, Carson and Teh Parker
