Playdate and Pinkalicious Party

Friday morning we went over to my friend Jennifer's house for a play date.  The kids dressed up in their costumes and we all enjoyed some yummy food that Jennifer had made.

 Connor had a blast playing with all of Tara's toys.  Especially with this roller coaster!

 The next day Connor's BFF, Emily, celebrated her 3rd birthday.  Beth did an amazing job once again with the party.  I wish I would have taken some pics of all the cute decorations, but hopefully she will put some up on her blog.  It was a "pinkalicious" party and everything was pink.  Don't you just love Connor's bow tie?  :)

These two are like brother and sister!  I found this old picture of them from April of 2009.  Look how much they have changed!

Check back soon for some pictures from Halloween!

Nana's Fair

Connor was SO excited to attend the fall fair at Nana's school.  There were lots of fun games that were just perfect for him.  Basketball was a favorite that we revisited several times.

 Carson was happy to be along for the ride.

I loved how he took each game so seriously.  He gets so focused on doing it just right. :)

 Not only did he have fun playing the games, but he received prizes at the end.

Playing musical chairs with Nana at the cake walk.

Connor had a blast and still talks about "Nana's school."  We are thankful that we live so close to do fun things like this with grandparents.

Pumpkin Patch Take Two

Happy 12 Months, Carson!

Height: 33 1/4' (97%)

Weight: 26 lbs 9oz (91%)

Now that Carson is 12 months:

Loves to listen to music and dance along.

Always observing, but if it gets quiet this boy doesn't stop talking!  Making lots of sounds, can say "Mama" "Dada" "bye bye", and tries to repeat words we say.

Loves to imitate sounds he hears.  We constantly hear him fake laugh, cough,and sneeze.

No more bottles or formula!  We made the change the day after his birthday and haven't looked back since. Although the first couple of days when he cried just looking at the cup, I am pretty sure that was he way of letting me know he was not happy with the change! :)

Pulls up on everything and started cruising around.

Crawling on his hands and knees a lot more, but still not walking.

  

Carson LOVES to look at books.  He will just sit and study all the pages.  

Happy 1st Birthday, Carson!

Carson's Big Day

We love any excuse to celebrate and Carson's actual birthday (10-18) gave us the perfect reason to celebrate again!  Even though he is only one, I still wanted to do something fun on his special day.  We loaded up the boys and headed out to Sweetberry Farms that morning.  A cold front had blown in which made for a very windy day, but we still managed to get a few good pics.  That evening we headed to Rudy's for a birthday dinner.  Mimi, Poppa, and Nana came along for the fun!  It is hard to believe that my baby is one.  Where does the time go?!

 I love these two! :)

Party Pics

I'll let the pictures tell the story...

It was a great day filled with lots of fun memories! 

It's All in the Details

Here is a sneak peek of Carson's first birthday party.  Once I get a chance to go through the rest of the photos I will be back with more. :)
