Smile!

I was able to get Carson smiling on camera! It's not a very big smile, but it is a smile none the less. I love watching him as little personality starts showing.

Photo Shoot!

I haven't found my camera, but I did find my old digital camera and it works fine, so Carson and I had a little photo shoot this morning. He changes so much week to week. Here are a few of my favorites. I had to take the pictures in his diaper because I think he has the cutest little boy body.

Thanks Regan!

My sister Regan painted these darling pictures of Curious George for Carson. She is so talented. They look very cute in his nursery.

I Feel So Refreshed!

This is the second night in a row that Carson has only woken up once to eat! Miracles of miracles. I forgot how good if felt to be well rested. He usually wakes up around 2 am to eat, then again around 4-5 am. I think I found the trick. He is still waking up at 4-5, but I don't get up unless he is really upset. For the most part he just talks to himself, wines a little and then falls back to sleep after 5-10 minutes. This ignoring thing really works! So, how long does it take for something to be habit? Hopefully he will keep this up. On another note, I still haven't found our camera, so no pictures this time. =(

Finally some video!

So, we have temporarily lost our digital camera- at least I hope it is temporary...I have no idea where it is and it is driving me crazy! Since we haven't taken any pictures since New Year's Eve (last time I knew where the camera was) I decided to do some videoing of Carson today. He doesn't do much yet, but I think he is still fun to watch! He has started smiling and I was able to get a little smile on video. Enjoy!

Chicken Parmesan

I've been scrapbooking all week, so therefore I've been neglecting my blog, sorry! It's hard for me to find time for both. Anyway- Last night I tried out a new recipe and it turned out delicious, so I thought I'd post it. It is nice to be cooking again. See, the first half of my pregnancy I felt too sick to cook and the last part I was too big and tired. Okay, here it is:

Chicken Parmesan

1 beaten egg 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon oregano
6 chicken tenders 1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup crushed Ritz crackers 1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons melted butter

• Combine egg and milk in a small bowl.
  
• Combine crackers, cheese, oregano, paprika and pepper in a medium sized bowl.
  
• Dip chicken in egg/milk mixture, then roll and coat in cracker mixture.
• Place coated chicken in a greased 9x9 pan and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.
• Serve with spaghetti noodles and marinara sauce.
  
• ENJOY!!
  

Bringin' in the New Year Trailer Trash Style!

Our friends the Ricks decided to have a trailer trash theme New Years party. You had to dress white trash and bring "gas station" food. Steve was all over this theme. He already had a costume and loves gas station food! We dressed Carson the best we could. He had a thermal and a onesie that said something about heavy metal on it. I am not pictured, but was wearing a John Deer hat and cowboy boots. The party was a lot of fun. There was hot cheese sauce, chips, lots of Hostess pastries, burritos, etc. Steve and I even managed to stay up until the ball dropped. Happy 2009 everyone!!
