THREE

Carson is THREE MONTHS OLD! We've had so much fun getting to know his little personality and we're trying to hone in on some sort of schedule. It's true what they say - once you think you know, they change everything all over again. So, it's been a slow go on that front, but hey, one constant - he's still giving us great nights of sleep. I call that a win in and of itself!




This month we wanted to show off just how awesome Carson's head control is. Miles never held his head this high for as long as Carson holds his. A milestone for sure. And he seems to really like it!

To see all his monthly photos, check out The Adventures of CARSON and BEAU

Carson @ 3:
- Still super smiley. He is such a happy baby! Most of his smiles include his tongue stuck out in some form or fashion
- He's a little chunky monkey and has rolls Miles never did. But, his body style is a little different from Miles. Seems to be taller that Miles and is growing out of clothes faster than Miles did. His next doc appt is at 4mo, so we will see how they compare at that point!
- We've moved him into his own room and are in the process of switching him over to his crib.
- Has a love/hate relationship with the binky. He almost never requests it but Stephen and I know sometimes he NEEDS it. The sucking is relaxing for him so if he's upset, once he grabs the binky, he calms down pretty quick.
- For us, it's not the binky run, it's the de-binky run. If he falls asleep with it, it seems to wake him up mid nap because it's brushing up against his face
- He's found his hands and LOVES them! Que the drool
- He hates his carseat and seems to always cry when I'm picking up Miles from school. If he's not moving, he doesn't tolerate it
- Like said above, has great head control and bearing more and more weight on his legs
- He loves to "talk" and he's giggling!
- Rolling from front to back on one side. It may not be completely on purpose, but he's done it consistently enough to count!
- Wearing 6mo Carters and 3-6mo in other brands
- Sized up to 2s for diapers and they're big. But, blow-outs were too common not to....
- Purposely hitting and reaching for toys on his playground
- Loves his swaddle
- Only giving us short naps during the day but sleeps well at night
- Eating about 6 oz every 3-4.5 hours
- Loves being in the wrap and will stay happy in it for quite some time
- Has a very similar temperament to Miles at this age. Super laid back, happy, sweet little guy. He's tough too! Miles can get a little rough and Carson handles it like it's no big thing

This photo shoot lasted about 20 minutes and his head was waaaaay up in the air the whole time. He's just smiling at you until....

Boom...He's done. Tired. ha!

So after the tummy time was out of the question, we got some cute shots of just the two of them having fun!

A documentation of the size comparison & the cutie outfit! Hobbes inspired ;)

Happy (late) 3 months sweet thing! Can't wait for what's to come :)

Stay tunes - Miles' Bday Posts coming soon! You DONUT want to miss it!

FAMILIES vs. FIREWORKS
Happy 4th of July! It was such a fun time enjoying friends and good food. But once the sun goes down, the fun is over for us adults with young kids. 

Natalie at I were texting back and forth raging about how loud the fireworks were. RAHR! Then she sent this. AMAZING

Best we got of the kids together

The boys in matching gear - Shout out to Natalie for the cutie outfits :)

My new fav of him!

LOVING this! A fleeting moment that I'm so happy we caught on camera

BESTIES


YALL. THIS!






PARENTS CRUSHED DURING TUMMY TIME

During tummy time, Miles MUST be a part. I'm not complaining :P







THIS JUST IN

Seems eerily similar to a photo I took with Miles


Carson loves to chat right when you wrap him up. We say sleep. He says, "Lets talk!"

Stephen went golfing with the guys and fooled Todd with an exploding golf ball. THIS was his reaction!

Barn? No. Car Garage.



Halle was here

Couldn't find Miles one afternoon. Searching searching searching. Then I heard - crunch, tear, crunch crunch. This is what I find. 

Aunt "Bechy" is SO fun!


First nap in his crib!
