This weekend Carson and I went to Amie's house for her baby shower. There was a little girl there who was born April 7th and oh boy.... she was going circles around little Carson. She was crawling, sitting by herself and holding her own bottle! Carson can only sit up for a few seconds by himself and he scoots in circles (not crawls) and he is not interested in holding his own bottle! So, Steve and I (as first time parents) are like "why can't Carson do all that?" I know it's all individual, but every parent wants their child to do everything earlier than their peers :) It was an interesting experience to see Carson interacting with all the children there, it was pretty much the first time he had been around other babies and was able to interact with them.

We still haven't sold our house :( not even close- we have only showed it a few times. It's sooo discouraging! The market sucks!! Hopefully soon we will be able to move closer to Grandma Gail!

Oh by the way... the Starbucks cup was empty by the time Carson got ahold of it. It was pretty cute though :)

Sorry for not updating in a while, I have been thrown into real life again after vacation with work and Carson. Work is going good, it's really hard... hopefully I will lose some weight because I run all day long! I hate leaving and coming home when it's dark- 12 hour shifts are really long, but it's worth it when a patient is grateful and appreciates your care.

Carson is still not crawling but is closer everyday. He still goes around in circles and backwards. He has also perfected his scream, it seems to get louder and louder everyday! He sits in his high chair now like a big boy! He is actually 14lbs now and 27 inches long! It's hard to find clothes that fit him because he is tall and skinny.

Steve is going to the Oregon USC game this weekend with my dad, Carson and I are going to stay home and get lots of rest :)

We love to hear from everyone, leave us a message and let us know you are checking in!

Back from Hawaii

Well... I decided to change blogs because we were running out of room on the babysites. We are back from vacation now :( It's funny because when you are actually on vacation you don't realize how nice and relaxing it is until you come home to real life.


We went with some friends (Dan and Stacy) and stayed in a condo in Kehei Maui. It was nice, right on the beach, but I did miss the maid service of hotels. It's not fun to have to do housework on vacation.


Carson was not crawling when we came home... but he was playing patty cake and going in circles on his belly. Also, he is wonderfully loud now! He loves to tighten up all his muscles and scream- then he just smiles. I have been working the last three days so I am exhausted! I will share more stories after some sleep :)
