Pumpkins and Halloween:

I have been slacking on the blog lately, but here is little recap of some fun things we did this month!

We took Carson to the pumpkin patch to pick his first pumpkin, well he didn't really do any picking.

It was a fun little pumpkin patch in Riverton, they had quite the selection of pumpkins to choose from.

Happy Boy....

What are these things....?

Barak and I celebrated our 2 year anniversay on Monday the 17th. We didn't do anything special this year. We went to dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory, and of course Carson came with!

The weekend before Halloween we carved our pumpkins.

Halloween:

Halloween turned out to be a fun day! The weather was so nice, we have not had weather like this for years.

Carson was a puppy, and I was a Vet (Carson was my puppy patient). We had pizza at my moms, and went trick or treating in her neighborhood. Miya and Adara came with us. After trick or treating we went to Springville to see Barak's parents and hang out for a bit. Overall I think Carson's first Halloween was a great one!

Not much is going on around at our house. Here are a couple new pictures of Carson.

He loves to lay with his legs in the air all the time!!

He will not let go of his binky for anything!

Gotta love his eyelashes!

LOVES TO SCREAM WITH HIS MOUTH FULL!



Solid Food Update:

We started Carson on fruits and veggies about 2 weeks ago, and he absolutely loves them! We started with pears. It took a few days for him to get used to them, but now they are his favorite.

Eating Pears!

Next we tried green beans! He HATES them. He will not eat them at all!!

Next came Squash! He LOVES SQUASH! We don't have any pictures unfortunately...

Peaches were next...He likes them, but I think they give him a belly ache. So he doesn't eat them very often.

Can you guess what was next??

CARROTS!!! He loves Carrots as much as he loves squash!

YUM, YUM, YUM!!!!

We tried applesauce this morning and he loved it! Tonight we are trying peas, hopefully he will like them. He needs to eat something in the green family! We still have sweet potatoes, and bananas to try as well!

Day 6: Details about the day you found out you were expecting??

I found out I was pregnant on August 7th, 2010! I had a stamping up party at my house that day, and afterwards I was super tired (which is unusual for me). So I decided to take a pregnancy test, and to my surprise it was positive. Barak was on the phone with Chili's ordering some food. I waved the pregnancy test in the air, and he was shocked. He had a hard time talking to the guy on the phone! It took a  few days for reality to sink in, after the shock wore off we were thrilled! I told my parents 4 weeks later, and everyone else 8 weeks after that.

Updates:

I finally found a job, and I am very excited to get started. Last week I completed training. It was a long week, I had to drive to Ogden everyday. I missed my boy so much, and I am glad I will only be working part-time.

Carson is getting so big, and really animated. He loves to touch everything he can get his little hands on. He is still a super happy baby, and so much fun to be around. He moved from rice cereal to oatmeal, and just loves it! We will be starting fruits and veggies here in a couple days! I am very excited to see his reaction. He is getting really good at sitting up, it won't be long before his sitting up on his own. Carson is still not able to roll over, but he tries really hard!

Day 4. Your favorite memory so far of being a mama??

I have so many amazing memories of being a mommy, but my most favorite memory is a reaccuring one! I absolutely love when Carson flashes his big ol' gummy grin! It makes even the worst of days so much better. He is such a happy baby, and I love that he is always smiling. I can't wait to his smile with little teethies, and eventually a smile full of gaps as he starts to loose his baby teeth...Being a mom is the most rewarding job, and I am so grateful for the life I have been blessed with!

sweet, sweet, boy!

Day 3. How old is your baby?!

 

Carson Drake is 19 weeks and 5 days! He is almost 5 months old! I can't believe how fast time flies, I wish I could keep Carson a baby forever! It is fun to watch all the new things he can do though. I love interacting with him, and watching him play. I love listening to his laugh, and looking at his smile! He seriously is the cutest baby in the world!!
