The Many Sides of Karson

Our little man is quite the character. He's especially "full of character" between 7-10 (sometimes midnight) every night. We've tried everything, but it seems as though when we want to keep him awake (early evening so he sleeps at night), he falls asleep (exhibit A) and when we want him to fall asleep, he SCREAMS until he passes out mid yell (exhibit B). Regardless, all of his different sides of him are fun!

Exhibit A: After 2 nights of a 12:20 am bedtime, we cut his early evening nap in the hopes of getting an early bedtime. Rob used all of his favorite toys to try and keep him awake for 30 more minutes, but as you can he, he was not interested.



Exhibit B: After HOURS or screaming, he finally gave up mid scream. I heard him stop in the nursery and Rob walked out to ask me if he was asleep. I would say YES.



I love hanging out with my mom!

Good morning! When can I start having coffee mom? I can't wake up!

Some time tummy time makes me mad!

Who's ready for summer?

We Love Fall!

After seeing flurries yesterday, it's very evident that winter is breathing down our necks. So glad we had a warm day last week to have fun in the leaves! Also, nothing says October like Halloween! 

 

Um, why are you putting me in these leaves?

 

 

Dad everyone knows I wasn't in those leaves and you were secretly hiding behind me.

 

Still not impressed with the leaves.

Aren't I supposed to get candy for this?

New Discoveries

Karson is learning that there's more to life than eating and getting his diaper changed...see below for his new discoveries! (Someday he'll learm that sleep is really fun. Probably in college.)

 

 

He recently learned that the mobile that cousin Ella let us borrow is SUPER FUN! So much fun that he decided he would either practice kicking for future soccer games or do the Irish jig. It's hard to tell.

 



Oooo look at my tongue! I like to stick my tongue out all day long!

My fist takes so good! Sometimes I like to eat my fist instead of sleep.

 

 

This is the best imvention ever! I can see everything (while mommy vacuums)!

Little Karson

Here are some old photos of Karson when he was about 2 weeks old. My sister was visitng so of course we had a photo shoot!

Bow ties make me sleepy.

"Enjoy this mom, pretty soon I won't be sleeping at all."

Happy Weekend!

I love my playmat!

Since Karson was having so much fun, Mom decided to play on the playmat too.

Lunch with dad is fun!

October Fun

Just happy to be part of the trip!

Bath time Fun!

As many of you know, my baby is "vocal" (read: cries A LOT) so you can

understand why everyone loves bath time since Karson loves bath time! 

Welcome to our new world. As always, Conan would like to join in the fun.

My favorite time of day!
