Happy Birthday Carson!! 3!

For Carson's birthday this year we all decided not to do the big combined party. I think we all agreed we couldn't top off the carnival last year. Carson told us he wanted waffles so on Sunday night we just had friends over and ate waffles ha ha. Last minute I realized I didn't make him a cake so I stacked waffles on top of each other and it worked great:)

We blew up soooo many balloons. Carson and Boston went nuts running around trying to sneak whipped cream off of the cake.

I planned just a few games for all the kids. One was the donut eating without hands and it was hilarious! They all did so good and were so into it.

Popping balloons after and opening presents.

Carson got so spoiled!! He got Dinotrux and Cars character cars and more cars ha ha. He got a race track and fort builder. The day after his birthday I could not get him to do anything all day because he just wanted to play with all his new toys. I can not believe Carson is 3! He still has so much energy (I don't think that will ever change). He says the funniest things and I just still stare at him sometimes and can not believe this is my baby talking to me and saying these things! The other day we went on a walk and he just started busting up laughing and when I finally got him to stop to tell me what was funny he said the car had a mustache. It turns out it was the logo for Chrysler on a PT cruiser ha ha and it really did look like a mustache! From the eyes of a 3 year old I get to enjoy and laugh over the littlest things:) We love him so much.

Potty training and smiles

Potty training.... Goodness. It has been such a trial for us. Carson did so well a few months ago and totally went back to wanting to be a baby. (He literally would act like a baby and ask to be changed, so annoying) So I gave up for a while and re started lately. So far it's been going sooooooo much better! Cross my fingers it keeps going.

Shopping for Carson's birthday party. He kept the frog on his head the whole time and everytime someone went by he would yell "frog on my head, frog on my head!" laughing so hard.

More playing with Briggs.

Brooks' 6 Month apt. One month late so I guess more 7 Month stats:)

Weight: 17 lbs 4 oz (45%)

Height: 27.5 in (68%)

Head:  17.25 (49%)

He is such a happy little thing now!  We love him so much. He laughs so easily, has 2 teeth and still eats 24/7. He loves cars as much as Carson does. Is trying to crawl right but can get to where ever he wants by rolling or scooting backwards.

Birthday party prepping the night before.

Beach, BLW, and bird house

We decided to head to the beach on a not rainy day:) The water was so warm and we had a blast! Brooks did not know what he thought of it but he hated the sand in his shorts and screamed until I took them off. So he was commando most the day ha.  We went with Wiemers and a new dental student family named the Dormans.

Carson loving his "funny face" pancake at IHOP.

Trying to crawl....

We have been doing Baby Led Weaning with Brooks.  It's pretty much just giving the babies whole foods and skipping the puree stage.  Brooks loves it so much!

Painting a bird house.

Carson and Brooks have been interacting a lot more lately. It is so fun to watch!  Brooks just stares at whatever Carson is doing and laughs at him whenever he looks at him. They are going to be besssttt friends!
