This month, we imitated Calvin's transmogrifer machine and created TWO little monkeys with Carson's cutie monkey onesie :P
Carson is really coming into his own and showing more and more of his personality. He's a very tolerant little guy - I say "very" because when a 2 year old is poking you, shoving toys in your mouth, rolling on top of you, up CLOSE in your face, spitting on you, etc etc, you'd think you'd get annoyed, right? Carson just lays there and takes it...sometimes finding it to be pretty funny which Miles absolutely lovessss. So yes. He's a tolerant one. He's also super smiley, fast to laugh, not quick to cry, flexible, super mobile, cuddly (more so than Miles ever was), laid back and an overall easy kiddo. Let's keep this up, okay bud?
More about Carson these days:
- He's rolling from back to front on one side and front to back on both sides. You lay him down and minutes later, he's rolled clear across the floor.
- We're transitioning him into a sleep sack and it's a slow go. He's fine during naps but is waking up more frequently than normal at night. Ferber is in our future...
- Is obsessed with chewing, sucking and putting any type of fabric in his mouth - current favorite are the burp rags. Sounds familiar right?! So weird that both our boys do/did this.
- He's figured out the bouncer and loves it
- Wearing 3-6mo Cat and Jack and 6mo Carters, but they're all too small. We're off season from Miles because who would have thought it would be 100 degrees in September? Yay for new clothes!
- Holds toys and brings them to his mouth. Working on the bottle.
- He's found his feet but isn't as interested in them as compared to his hands
- His legs are so chunky! We're in size 2 diapers and may need to move up soon because of his rolls. ha!
- Baby blues! They are holding strong!
- Blowing raspberries with his lips. Spit. Everywhere
- Thinks Miles is pretty funny and loves watching him
- Our schedule has settled to 2 hours of awake time between naps with naps usually lasting about 45 minutes. We've gotten a couple longer ones recently.
- Eating 6oz every 3 hours and we have to stay on top of this because he doesn't tell us when he's hungry until it's too late and he's HANGRY. At this point, he refuses the bottle. No bueno...
- He's trying so hard to move across the floor when on his belly. But, after so much effort, he ends up just twirling in circles. lol
Miles was jealous of all the attention, so we got him all spiffed up and grabbed some shots with him too. Such a sweet big brother :)
How's Miles? Well, all in all, he's doing great. His speech is still a little slow to come so we've noticed him getting frustrated when we don't understand what he wants or what he's saying. This leads to some less than optimal behavior - throwing toys, yelling, hitting. Some at Carson's expense.
But, while we have some struggles (which are to be expected), we see just how much he loves his brother. Kisses on the head. True concern when Carson cries - because like said above, he doesn't cry much. Hugs! He sits on the floor while watching tv and holds Carson's hand. It's so sweet to watch them creating this relationship between themselves at such a young age. I think these guys are going to be great buds.
Cheers to our boys!
