Carson's 3 Month check!

Carson had his 3 Month check up today! He got another shot and only did one yell and was fine. What a champ! He has been getting rashes all over his body lately that will not go away. His doctor thinks he has a dairy allergy so he gets to have soy formula now.  We will see how that goes and if it helps! 

Height: 25 5/8 inches (94%)

Weight: 13.8 pounds (30%)

Head: 15 3/4 (26%)

He is getting so fun! Not that he wasn't before but you can play with him now and he laughs.  

He loves Jordan's beard when you tickle his feet with it the best.  

He tries to eat and suck on everything he can actually get to his mouth.

He loves to stare at the Christmas tree lights and they calm him down when he is mad.

I put socks on his hands thinking he wouldn't like it and he loved it.  Ha ha he played/ate them for quite awhile and was not happy with me when I took them off.  Who knew socks could be so fun. 

I babysat Jackson and Lucy for a few hours the other day so that Lori could go get some things done. Jackson was asleep when I got there then woke up later on.  When he came downstairs and saw me he got the biggest smile on his face and said "Kate..... Carson!" It was so cute.  Then they watched Thomas the Train cartoons on the floor.  Carson just loves him already.  Can't wait until they can run around together. 

Okay yes there are millions of these pictures but in my defense I didn't put all of them up!  He was just so silly and I love him.  Sorry. 

He can't quite keep himself up in the bumbo yet so the pillow is helping him a lot.

Apparently it is a very hard life to eat, sleep and play.

I put the tree up even though we won't be here most of December.  It just felt so weird to not put it up!  I love Christmas decorations and how it makes the house feel.  I have to do something to make it seem like Christmas time since it's still in the 70's in Virginia! 

We've started the countdown for Jordan to be done with finals. Only one more week and a few more exams! He is very excited for the break and I'm very excited to see him more for awhile :)

Painting and Thanksgiving!

I was looking on Pinterest one day and saw a thing about stenciling your wall.  So I decided I wanted to do it to our house.  I ordered the stencil but didn't think we would get it in time for people coming over on Thanksgiving but we got it the day before. We started doing it thinking how hard could it be to stencil a wall.  Well 12 hours later at 2 a.m. we finally finished it! It was soooo much work but we love it now that its done and we caught up on our sleep we missed.

Jordan's class had a potluck Thanksgiving dinner the Tuesday before Thanksgiving.  It was interesting cause there were so many different foods there that were not thanksgiving food.  People brought sushi and fried rice and all sorts of different cultural food. We brought funeral potatoes and most had never even heard or had it.  Very different than Utah! Carson helped me crush the corn flakes for the top of them.

Most of the people who came to the dinner.  It ended up being about half of the class that showed up.

"No Shave November" beards.

Thanksgiving at our house.  We moved out our couches to the Weimer's house next door and got some tables from the church. We had so much food!  After we all ate it looked like nothing had been touched yet. 

Yesterday we went over to the Weimer's house for leftover Thanksgiving dinner.

Carson can fall asleep anywhere! Well we are heading into Jordan's final weeks of this semester and then coming home to Utah for a visit.  We are so excited!!

Yes Hollywood Cemetery again......

Yes we went to Hollywood Cemetery again!  This makes it our 5th time going but some of our friends were going cause they had never gone so we had to join.

It was a sunny day but really cold!

Looking out at the James River.  We went to the Sugar shack again.  It's our new obsession. Yummmy! We love it. 

Carson loves being in the bath but then he will scream bloody murder when we take him out so his new thing is to stop crying when his eyes are covered up with his towel. He will just sit there covered sucking on his binki forever.

Birthday Celebrations

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDAN!  Jordan turned 26 this weekend.  He bought himself 49er tickets for a Monday night game in a few weeks so all he wanted was kiss cookies.

Carson gave him a big hug. Ha ha he really did just hug him for about an hour and then fell asleep.  It was so cute.

Saturday night we went out to the Cheesecake factory with the Wiemer's for his birthday dinner.  The wait was an hour and a half so we did a little shopping while waiting.  Carson got some winter stuff for when we come out to Utah.  He also got his first church shirt and tie :)

Our cute little man. 

Hello Anna and Randy!

Our friends from back home live in D.C right now going to Law school and they came down to visit and meet Carson.

                                                    

   Carson loves Anna and Randy!!

We went to Hollywood Cemetery with them and then went to a donut shop.  It is in downtown Richmond and called Sugar Shack.  They were AMAZING! Their top selling donut is a maple bacon.  Jordan tried it and loved it.  I ended up with the Samoa donut and have been craving it since we left! We also got a strawberry one that was soooo good and made with fresh pureed strawberries. They have a list of their regular donuts but then they have different creations that they make everyday.  

It was so fun to see friends! and.... we will definitely be going back to get more donuts.
