  • Security

    I think it’s so interesting how babies and toddlers develop attachments to security objects. Some kids need a thumb or binky almost from the getgo; others have a special blankie they can’t live without. We received lots of wonderful blankets when Carson was born–several were homemade. But one special item was a small little blanket/stuffed […]

  • My Little Mermaid

    The other day I was putting Carson’s pants back on after an extra special poopie diaper, and I couldn’t figure out why I was having so much trouble pulling the pants all the way up. These particular pants don’t have a button and zipper, so it’s just a pull and tug maneuver that gets them […]

  • Park Pics

    Here are some more pics from last week on C-dog’s 18 month b-day. We went to the park with Auntie M (ha! Wizard of Oz, anyone) and Auntie T.

  • Helper

    When there is a job at hand, Carson is not satisfied until he is IN IT. If the dishes are being taken out of the dishwasher, he literally tries to crawl in the dishwasher. If I am cleaning a spot off the floor, he wants to sit between me and the spot. If a blog […]

  • Misc.

    Haloooooo, down there! Happy St. Patty’s day! Self-entertainment with non-dangerous items. One of the happiest moments of my career as a mother. “I can stretch too, Dad!” Oi. Aren’t you a little helper-man. Um, Carson, those are mommy’s.

I wanted to capture on film the energy, curiosity, passion, intensity, stubbornness, humor and love that he has and exhibits every day. But instead, I got a bunch of pictures of him with a stick. However, some […]

  • Got some hairs cut.

    It’s only been 18 months (today!) and already it’s time to cut Carson’s hair! 😉 And even then, there were only a few that got the trim. Baldie had a few really long hairs wisping over his ears that needed to go. I mean, we’re talking 4-5 inches long on an otherwise bare landscape. The […]

  • Visitors

    We had two auntie visitors this week! Tara and Michelle both came down, and I will just go ahead and admit they came to see Carson. My camera battery was still low when Michelle came, so sorry, Mich, these pics are all from Tara’s visit. Riley came too and Carson was determined to get him […]

  • Answer: 50 hours and 9 minutes. Question: How long did it take Carson to break my brand new sunglasses?Soon you will all see my new shades that were purchased this afternoon at the Dollar Tree. Among the adjectives to describe them, “flattering” and “stylish” do NOT come to mind.

  • Munchkin Mania

    Oh yeah. We put him to work. You may not believe, me, but there was nothing on the TV. He was pretending.And I don’t think any of us would be suprised that pretend shows are actually quite boring.“Writer’s block.”Ahhhh! The good life. PB & J and a fire.I love this shot of Carson running full […]
