Full of Firsts

This past month has been full of firsts for Carson!

FIRST TIME TO SIT
You guys... our baby is growing!! So sad, but so fun to see him hit these milestones :) Miles thinks it's pretty cool too!

FIRST TIME TO TRY SOLID FOODS
Since Carson has started to sit, and about 6 months, it's the perfect time to start solids.

We opted for squash first. They say it doesn't really matter how you start, but I figured veggies would be best. Miles was excited and wanted to try too!

I have to say, Carson didn't like it. Miles didn't at first, but proceeded to eat the whole thing! I was all pumped to think, hey! Maybe THIS is how we get Miles to eat more veggies. Yea...nevermind. The novelty of it was gone and he hasn't done it since.

So far we've tried squash, green beans, peas and apples. It seems he has an issue with the texture and just sits there with his mouth open and a disgusted look on his face before be spits everything out and/or gags. Or, maybe he just doesn't like the taste. Who knows. We'll keep trying though! [Shout-out to my Aunt for the adorable bib!]

FIRST TIME TO SWING
Miles LOVES to swing. Since Carson is sitting, I added the Little Tikes swing to our swing set, and it's been a favorite for all kids - even the big cousins. Carson was a little hesitant at first, but seems to like it now. And as you can tell, Miles was pumped!

"Mama! Pu Carchee!!"

FIRST REAL COLD  :(
Carson has been at the mercy of Miles' school germs and it's crazy to me that it's taken this long for Carson to really get hit with something. Since he was a baby, we've seen a few sniffles here and there, but this go around he just seemed so down and out. Fever, not eating as much, sleeping a lot. Poor thing...

I know he doesn't feel well, but sleeping babies are just the cutest
