Carson's personality is becoming more and more prevalent. Everyday we are learning something new about our little man. He is a very happy content boy. Likes everyone, laughs all the time, and is generally in good spirits. He appears to be a bit of a joker and has a good sense of humour. He loves watching TV and Jazzy and Joey play fight, blowing bubbles, hanging in the jolly jumper, baths, and babbling to anyone that will listen. He really is a pleasure to be around. And I am not just saying this cause I am his mom. One Year Old One day after Carson's first birthday, he pulled himself up and was found standing while holding on to the sofa. Now that Carson is able to stand, those magical first steps toward independence is just around the corner and means a lot more exercise for me! First Time Standing First Halloween Crawling Eleven Months Our little man’s personality is really emerging now. He is still very social; giving big smiles to everyone he meets. Finally, after months of only two teeth, Carson suddenly has three more teeth, with several more ready to emerge any day now. Now that he's only one month shy of his first birthday, for the most part Carson is no longer that helpless infant who couldn't do anything without us. He still needs plenty of care and support, but his growing independence is becoming more and more evident. He is able to wave goodbye and clap when you ask him to, he’ll take steps when held in a walking position and he’ll hold out his arm or leg to help you dress him. Recently, Carson has wrestled with bouts of separation anxiety when we leave the room or when an unfamiliar person is holding him. This is unusual for our little social butterfly. Hopefully, he will get over this fear, rather quickly. Carson understands simple instructions such as “give me” or “can I have”, which he will then give the object to you. He is also pretty good at choosing to ignore us when we say no. First Swing Ride Audition Flicking Ten Months Carson has developed a mind of his own, which is easily noticed when he protests. Our little man sure has a set of lungs, which he likes to use! Besides mastering his lungs, he is also mastering his fine motor skills, such as picking up small and big items and flicking people in the nose. Carson began crawling as soon as he was put on Grandpa John’s carpet. It is apparent that having laminate floors was a determent to his crawling progress. Carson has had the opportunity to engage in playing alongside another child and seems to really like it. He still likes his jolly jumper and saucer, which he goes wild on. We are hoping that this means he will love going on rides. Swimming Camping Trip Nine Months Carson is still the most sociable creature around. Always smiling and babbling. His babble occasionally sounds like a sentence when he puts together two or three syllables. His tone of speech varies too from shouting to mumbling. Our increasingly assertive baby is starting to be able to make his needs and wants known. For the most part, we are very lucky as he only fusses when he is hungry or tired, otherwise he is still a very happy content boy. We were right! Carson went swimming for the first time and he loved it! Tired and all, he just perked right up when he was put in the pool. He is getting extra picky about what he eats, which is new as we had him eating fruits and vegetables. Our poor little man still only has two teeth, which we are brushing daily now.
Tuxedo Eight Months Wow! Our little man is growing so fast. He is now sitting unsupported for long periods of time. He still has his bum up....way up in the air and is rocking back and forth, but has yet to figure out how to crawl. So for now he is still rolling and slithering across a room. The only difference is he is moving rather quickly. He still only has his two front bottom teeth. The others look like they are about to come in, but have not. Bedtime has started to become distressing for Carson because it separeates him from mom, dad, Jazzy and Joey. Once he falls asleep though, he is usually out for the night. Jazzy has started sleeping under Carson's crib. We think it's funny, cause he will crawl under the crib himself, but barks when he wants out. Carson has had two opportunities to wear his tuxedo so far. He wore it to his Uncle Alan and Auntie Rochelle's Wedding and again to his second cousin Charles and Pety's wedding. Sitting UP
Seven Months With Carson's bum always up in the air, it's only a matter of time before he figures out how to crawl. In the meantime, his method of locomotion is slithering on his stomach or rolling across the room. He can now support some of his weight on his legs and he loves to bounce in his jolly jumper and exer-saucer. He can sit unsupported for a short time before he topples over. When Carson babbles and vocalizes, he sounds as if he's making sense now because he uses different sounds and tones. He difinitely is not shy but rather a chatterbox. He is now eating solid vegetables, meats, and fruits in the very cool high-chair grandma & grandpa T bought him. Six Months Carson is now cutting teeth. His two bottoms have come through and the top ones are almost there. I guess this explains why he has suddenly stopped blowing bubbles. This is a good thing as feeding solids to a baby that insists on blowing bubbles is quite messy. He is eating rice and other grain cereals 3 times a day now, although he still prefers his bottle, (hopefully, this is not a sign of his later years. (LOL)). Soon we will be moving up to vegetables and fruits and maybe this will be more appealing to him. He is finally sleeping through the night on a fairly consistent basis. Father's Day - Carson bought his father a really nice Bulova Watch for his first Father's Day!! June 17, 2007 - Carson had his first taste of vegetables....GREEN BEANS....and he seems to really like it! Teeth First Night's Sleep May 29, 2007 - Carson had his 6 month shots today. What a tough boy we have. Once again, no crying, just a startled look when the needles went in. Sleep-Over Five Months Carson has the cutest giggle. His entire face lights up when he laughs. And he's beginning to get the joke — he'll laugh at funny expressions and try to make us laugh, too. He has started playing little games such as dropping objects just to watch us pick them up or to see how and where they will fall. He also has a fake cry that if you call him on it....he will start to laugh. Carson is now using both his hands to play and transfer objects with. He has an interest in the foods we are eating, but still has one more month before we give him solids. His awareness of his name is amusing as he will turn his head when you are talking about him to others. Carson is now rolling over from his back to his stomach on a regular basis. He still hasn't grasped rolling from his stomach to his back yet. We still have to wake up twice a night to give him feedings or put his soother (suckie) in his mouth. Mother's Day - Carson bought his mother a really nice diamond heart necklace for her first Mother's Day! Four Months Carson now laughs, giggles, and smiles with funny faces and lots of general silliness. He enjoys hearing a variety of sounds and we don't need special toys or instruments to provide them. We simply click our tongue, whistle, or make animal noises — Carson loves it! His father has taught him to blow bubbles; so now our beautiful baby boy is quite fond of doing this one action over and over again. It's quite funny and most people that have experienced Carson's bubbles have never seen a baby do this before. Three Months Carson is still a big FLIRT. He greets everyone with big sexy smiles especially when they look him straight in the eye and coo or talk to him. He's looking at everything with curiosity, even his own reflection. He enjoys batting at objects and bouncing in his exer-saucer or jolly jumper. Plane Ride Two Months What a lucky little boy Carson is. He is only two months old and he has a passport, which we used for the first time. Carson and Mom went to Las Vegas with Auntie Lisa to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa. He was an angel on the airplane and at the airport. Besides spending lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa, who spoil him, he also met and spent time with his Aunt Laura and Uncle Fern. He has become an expert at "smile talk". He sends sexy smiles your way and then bashfully turns away when you notice him. Since he kept sending Lisa "sexy smiles" we now call her "his girlfriend". I tried explaining to Carson, that Lisa is too old for him and if he insisted on a girlfriend 40 years his senior, try to get a sugar momma so that Mom and Dad can retire. He didn't listen. I guess this is the beginning of a trend that will continue throughout his lifetime. Shots First Giggle Jacuzzi Bath First Time Rolling Over One Month Carson is having big boy baths in the Jacuzzi tub with his dad now. He loves splashing and kicking. Dad thinks it's great that his son loves the water as now he has someone to swim with when Carson gets a bit older. He is very alert; spending many of his waking hours watching what goes on around him. One of his favourite fascinations is playing and staring at his hands for hours a day. He's even flashed his first genuine smile, a momentous event for us. First Month Carson's sleep patterns are still way out of whack. He was a night owl when he was in my tummy, becoming active at 11pm and again at around 3am. This is still his sleeping pattern. It's a good thing that his dad has taken time off work (5 months) to help me with and to enjoy Carson. He is sleeping in his bassinet next to our bed so we can attend to him without having to get out of bed. To our amazement, Jazzy and Joey's barking doesn't even faze him. He obviously heard it enough times when he was in my tummy that it is normal chaos for him. Right from the beginning, the dogs and Carson bonded. Jazzy likes to cuddle with him and Joey kisses his head and checks up on him. Carson was born with a strong neck. He is able to lift his head briefly and turn it from side to side when lying on his stomach. Welcome Welcome to Carson's website. He is turning into a little person so quickly these days. We thought this website would be a great way to share all of his many milestones with you so you can be a part of his life and share in our joy. Please take a look through our Journals, his Baby's First and Growth Chart page to get up-to-date with his many accomplishments. We're so proud of our little young man. We will be updating this website often, so make
sure to come back to see the latest addition to Carson's first
website. We will do our best to add photos on a regular basis
so you won't have to wait a lifetime to see his newest expression.
