Happy 4 months Baby Carson! You amaze us everyday. You are such a great baby, talking and singing to us. You weigh 13 lbs 6 oz and are 25" long. You had a cold today(your first!) so you only got 1 shot and 1 oral vaccination. Dr. Maria said you are getting too skinny and should start cereal, so you had your first taste tonight...we weren't sure what you thought. You made your happy noise but then wouldn't eat anymore after a couple of minutes, thats fine you can just eat watermelon and bananas! Mommy gave you a little taste of those this month, you loved them! You are such a strong boy almost sitting by yourself and standing so well on your legs. You have a good hold on your head and don't bobble all around. You start playing in your exasaucer this month and like to have stare downs with my monkey. You just found your feet and now are always holding on to those toes! You even had a toy in between your toes the other day and another in your hands, talented. When Mommy picks you up after work you nuzzle into my neck, mommy loves this. You are still a good breast eater and eat every 3 hours. You also still are in size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes, although some 3-6 month are fitting you finally. You love to watch your brother play and keep your eyes glued on him.

This month you went to Craguns, again! The MN state fair, Paul Bunyan land(you rode on your own horse on the merrygoround), the Barnum Fair(you rode on a tractor), a train ride and I am sure lots of other places. We enjoyed the last month of the summer as best as we could. You went into your first lake(Minnesuing) and loved that just as much as your warm baths that relax you so much.

We love you little monkey, or Car-Car! Have Sept 8th to you!
