Interesting Baby facts

I get a weekly update from babycenter.com and this week it had some interesting things to say.

--The good news is that your baby's drool coats toys and other objects with disease-preventing proteins. That's fortunate — since she'll continue to explore anything she can get her hands on.

--Whether your baby is a night owl or a morning lark, a long sleeper or short sleeper, she'll probably stay that way throughout childhood.

--Can you spoil a baby? Answer, No and once he understands that you take his cries seriously, he'll be less likely to cry for no reason. In the long run, responding quickly to your baby's needs will make him less clingy and demanding, not more.

Playing DDR With the Petersons Last Night

Steve has MAD SKILLS...

Carson in his "old man shirt" that his auntie Laura got him.

Driving in the car yesterday.

Drum Roll Please...

Carson slept through the night last night!!! He went to bed a 9:30 and slept until 6:00. How great is that? Here is a random picture I took before bedtime last night. Steve's parents gave us photoshop for Christmas. I haven't really had time to try it out, but wanted to do something to spruce up this picture. I've learned that photoshop is really cool!

Carson thinks he is a big kid

I know he is still a little too small for this, but he loves being in the sitting position and is really good at holding his head up, so I decided to try it. It kept him entertained for 10 minutes while I got dressed and brushed my hair. SUCCESS! On a complaining note- Steve has been working nights the past two days and I am sick of it! He gets home around 6 am and sleeps 'til 4 pm, then goes into work at 4:30 pm. So, not only do I get to see him for only a half hour each day, but I get no break from baby cakes. Hopefully tonight is the last night.

Two Months Old Today!

Carson just had his two month appointment. He weighted 12 lbs, 10 oz (75th percentile) and was 24 inches long (90th percentile). He is getting so big!

Mom has so many favorite things about me right now. One is that I am only waking-up once at night to eat. She is so proud of me! Speaking of eating, I am sure getting chubby. When I was born I had the skinniest legs mom and dad had ever seen. They are not so skinny anymore. I have a double chin now and chubby cheeks. I am a very happy boy and have started smiling a lot. Mom thinks that I have a very cute smile. I love to be held all the time. I am happy as long as mom and dad are in the room and preferably- a. holding me, b. in a baby carrier, c. Mom and dad are sitting right next to me with our bodies touching, or d. being talked to and given 100% of their attention. I have started talking to mom and dad, but they don’t seem to know what I am saying yet. I love to look at people’s faces and carry on conversations with them. I am really good at holding my head up and I think I’m a big kid. I love to take baths. I like the water really warm, just like my mom. Baths are important because I spit-up a lot! Mom takes me for a walk almost every day. I love going for walks and being outside.

How cute is he!

We were getting ready for church this morning and I had to stop and get a picture.
