Proud mommy!
Karson brought home some beautiful artwork from day care. His chubby little hands make some beautiful flowers, don't you think?

Cousins!
Cousins are important. I say this with certainty because my absolute best friend growing up was my cousin. Not just in a kindergarten "let's swing beside each other" kind of way, (although we did that too). But in a "let's be on the same teams, take the same classes, pick on our older brothers, compete together and win, overcome injury, go to the same college, have each others' backs no matter what and take on the world" kind of way. One con to living away from home is that Karson won't know his cousins like that. That makes me sad. Because he also has some great cousins.
The good news is, when they do get to visit, the moments will be treasured. Here are a few pics from Karson's visit with his cousins!

Yay for live in play mates!
Boo for poorly timed viruses. We were all very excited to have Karter in our home this week. Not only would we get to know a growing baby niece better, she and Karson could enjoy some play time!
Unfortunately, Karson got hit with a virus mid morning on Monday and we ended up getting sent home. So while they are "near" each other. We haven't allowed them to play "with" each other yet. Karson is feeling better, and has already returned to day care. That should make for some healthy play time this weekend! In the meantime, they're both having their individual parties anyway!

More pics of Karson and Karter's week together will be coming soon. I also have some pretty cool pics from Karson's KY visit! And I hope to get those up soon as well! (Iola...if you're reading I WILL post those!) We are blessed with three beautiful nieces and two handsome nephews. And they are each such a blessing!

Did you click to zoom like I told you? Well, you should have. Because then you could have seen these two fantastic "cheese" faces!

Boys and their Toys
Karson has a new favorite toy. Err...item.
You can see how happy it makes him...
The good news is...this gets him moving like no other toy ever has, so maybe this will help get him working harder on crawling!

As well as how sad he is when we take it away...

Seven Months!
(Written yesterday...but the photo shoot was delayed as I had to wait for a sick baby to cooperate.)
Karson is seven months old today!
He continues to be a big, growing, and happy boy. During the past month he met lots of family from his mama’s side, and had a great visit at Papaw and Nana’s house. He hung out with all five of his first cousins. AND he took his first airplane flight! He has settled in well at the new day care, and seems to enjoy the new routine and appreciate the shorter commute. Here are some facts and figures about seven month old Karson:
Karson is roughly 20 pounds, and 28 inches long.
He wears size 3 diapers, and is in 9 and 6-9 month clothing.
He sits up independently fairly well, but we don’t wander too far away just yet…
He loves sitting in his bumbo seat on the couch next to daddy. He’s learning to wiggle out of it though, so he may soon be banished to the floor.
He is fascinated with remotes and cell phones, and will lunge toward them anytime he sees one. We don’t let him play with ours…but we did break down and give him an old remote with no batteries.
He babbles lots, and in addition to “D” “M”and “N” he has added “B” to his repertoire. More and more, his “dada” and “mama” seem to be intentional and directed toward us.
He loves being read to and sometimes “reads” to himself.
He plays like it is his job. If his job is to pick up, inspect, and set down a toy. Pickup-inspect-set down. Repeat for hours on end. (“Inspect” can mean look at as well as eat, shake, and drool on.)
He sleeps through the night again. .:High five:.
He eats 3 “meals” per day, with 4 bottles mixed in as well. (Boy can EAT!) His new favorite is Papaw’s homemade pear sauce, but he continues to do well with a wide variety of flavors. He does NOT, however, love puffs. The day care swears he’ll eat them there, but when I give him one he acts like I’ve tried to poison him.
As for hair and tooth watch...let's just say we haven't exactly had to use our baby shampoo or orajel yet. I still have my little mostly bald, totally toothless man.
He has so much personality. He sticks his tongue out when he is up to no good, or is working hard. And he smiles when I scold him. I think I'm in trouble.
He has a new smile that requires him to show every inch of gum he can, and scrunch up his face. You'll see it in the first photo below. Cracks us up every time!
