New things (the list goes on)

Singing a song!

Carson got his first tooth on 1/30!! We woke up that morning, and there was this tiny little hard spot poking out of his gum. He only has started getting the left bottom tooth and it is SO cute. He sticks out his tongue and plays with it...I love it. He is now starting to also get his right bottom tooth. If his gums weren't so emflamed, he probably would have it by now.

First tooth, can't see it that well and he's definately not that happy when they are coming in...

Carson also started crawling on 1/30! He goes for a little bit, and figures out that he gets around a lot faster army-crawling, than actual crawling. But, he is an active little guy. Into everything you could possibly imagine....and if you look away for a second, he's across the room. He definately has been keeping us all on our toes, that is definately for sure! He loves chasing after Parker, and just getting into things he knows he shouldn't. It makes for some interesting nights. We have now put the pack n play in our living room, with tons of toys in it, for those times when he is into things. He loves playing in it, and it keeps him occupied for 30 minutes :)

Locked up!

Yeah, like that!

On 2/10, Carson sat up unassisted. He went from crawling and just sat up like a big boy! He is very proud when he does it. Sometimes he falls over, other times he just goes back to crawling. He is figuring it out though!

99 pictures of me sitting up is enough...

On 2/12, he randomly started clapping. We noticed it when watching American Idol (I make fun of the way Paula claps on a regular basis), and he started doing it! Now, he claps when he's happy, he claps when he's crying....he loves it.

Carson turned 8 months on the 19th...Adam and I were in the kitchen talking. Carson was crawling around the living room, and when we walked in, he was climbing up the coffee table, in a standing position! He was SO proud!! He was hitting the table, smiling, making tons of noise. I must say, it nearly gave us a heart attack! I wasn't expecting it! He did start getting into a semi-standing position while playing with the toys in his bouncer. He would get on his bouncer, and start bouncing on it while on his knees. But WOW. We are definately proud parents!

Better keep those tables cleared off now...I'm Big Boy!

Adam has been getting Carson to say Dada a lot. All he says is "Dada", and forgets about poor Mama. I am trying to change this ;) It's a battle...but it will be won!
