Happy 14th Month Carson!

You've started talking more and more!(finally!!) You say "here" pronounced "ere' when you hand stuff to me. You shake your head "No" rather frequently, you sure the heck know what you don't want! You say "what's this" at any animal or something that really sparks your interest like water and buses. You say "Mamamamama" when you whine especially when you are tired. You say "Wheeeeeeeeeeee" when you are swinging or riding on your rocket too!

You still love to be outside, we spend most of our long summer days outside in the yard or at the park. You love to go down the slide and climb the stairs and do it like such a big boy. You love to play in the sand...mostly dumping it on yourself but occasionally getting it into the bucket. You love, love the water just like Hayden. We stayed at Craguns in June and you were such a little fish, swimming in the kiddie pool and always trying to get into the lake, even in your clothes.

You are such a boy and have discovered your love for basketball and golf. Anything that even slightly resembles a golf club is used to hit one of the 1,000,000 balls we have lying around the house. You love when Daddy holds you up to the big basketball hoop and you make a basket, you even clap for yourself. You love to play with your Little People Farm and your Retro Rocket making little car sounds on it.

You are sometimes a little stinker! You are strong willed and determined, those aren't bad qualities to have if you use them usefully, please, please remember that!

Weight was exactly 24 pounds and length was 31.75(i think!) You are wearing size 4 shoes(you just got super cute leather Sandals from Nana, you love them bringing them to me to put on when you find them) Clothes are 12 months and 12-18m. Diapers are a 4!

We love you Little Monkey!

Taking care of a sick baby is a lot of work. Poor Carson caught yet another illness! He had a barky cough, running nose/eyes and a low grade fever over the 4th weekend. And since this Mama is not a fan of Urgent Care we waited until Monday to go in...yup Dr was closed on Monday for the holiday! Grrrrr. So Tuesday morning bright and early we made our way to favorite doctors the Kundels(love them! =) ) Carson has some "lung infection" Dr Ray didn't go into details just gave Carson some strong 5 day antibiotics and called us good! Carson finally came back to life last night, Thursday a whole week after it started. I have been tired, not sleeping and cranky too! Jason has one of his FOR's coming up and working long, longer, longest hours every! So I am so burned out! Thank goodness for getting better!
