RIP Billy!!!

Carson's beloved monkey named Billy has been missing for over a week now and there is no sign of him coming back. We sent out the search and rescue team but the result has been unsuccessful. Carson keeps telling me who has him though which is so funny since it's a little girl from his school but her parents said they don't have him. The kids are obsessed with throwing things in the trash can so I am convinced his friend tossed him by accident!

We are very sad but Carson seems to be doing ok and Monkey Mo has already replaced Billy as his BFF.

RIP Billy, we will miss you and always love you for being there for Carson for 22 months.

Potty time!

It was time to get Carson a potty since he has been obsessed with the 'potty' book that was handed down to him from Aunt Cara and because he graduated to the 2s room at school and he sits on the potty at every diaper change which makes him come home and talk about it!

He was so excited to open this potty it was like getting a new toy! He of course had to examine it, sit on it and then demand that I take his clothes off so he can try it out. This went on all weekend long. No luck yet but at least he loves it!

Here are some pics from his potty adventure....

Then he took it into the bathroom and placed it right next to our toilet! I can't post the naked baby pics on here but they are hysterical and oh so cute. Gotta love a naked baby butt!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Thank you for the cards Grandmoms and thank you so much Pops and Nan for the popcorn tin with lots of other treats! Carson loved having a package waiting just for him at the door when we came home yesterday and had to dig in right away.

Here he is with the heart shaped cookie. One bite gone and all over his chin! He did share and it was yummy.

Happy 22 months Carson!!!!
