The monkey and his banana.

Carson LOVES bananas. Seriously you would think he was part monkey with the way he whines for them and eats them as if we are starving him. I am actually very happy since we finally have a go-to food that we know he will eat since he is super picky just like his mama.

So each night after work we have a little date on the deck where he eats his 'nana' and sometimes when he is in a good mood he even likes to share it with me.

Enjoy.

He's looking at Dan in this pic saying "yeah mama gave me a nana"

mmmmmm....love me some nana

my fingers got dirty though....


last bite and all done!

Happy 5th of July!!!

Yes you saw it correctly, it wasn't a typo....we are wishing everyone a happy 5th. Why you ask? Well Carson was soooooooo sick (for 4 days actually) and today is the first day he is feeling better. Dan and I were cooped up in the house taking turns cuddling out little man back to health. He had a fever that spiked as high as 105 at times and was very scary. Turns out it was a virus and he had a throat infection (like strep but not as bad according to our pedi.)

Anyway, because he was so sick we didn't get to enjoy our 4th as a family and participate in any activities. We did venture out today for a walk around the promenade and I got some cute pics my boys. We even came across a flag so I had to snap a pic and make it count as Carson's official 2nd 4th of July!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday!

No more comb over for Carson!

Stinker got his first real haircut on Saturday! We don't have pics from the actual cutting because he was crying and fussy so one of us had to hold him while the other fed him his favorite food - goldfish! Once it was over, he was running around the shop like he owned it. Rearranging all the bottles of hair products, playing with the patrons, and ripping apart all the magazines as we waited for Dan to get his haircut too.


Here's the before picture and as you can see it was long enough for pigtails!


And the after....look at my little man!

Success.

I am happy to report that Carson "gets" the sippy cup!!!! Granted right now he is only drinking water from it at home but what a relief. He no longer yells at me and throws it on the ground. He actually likes to carry it around and drink from it as he walks. It must have been the fact that they give it to him at school all day long. Go little big boy!!!!

Here is a picture for proof!!

Now wish me luck that he will start drinking milk from it soon. I haven't even attempted it yet since I want him to get the hang of the water first.

Good times!
