Carson is ONE!

Yep, ONE whole year has already passed! On September 4, Carson turned 1 and it was bittersweet. I was sad because I know toddlerhood is close by and there will be no more babies in the house...but I was happy b/c I know he will be walking/talking/playing with B in the very near future! He has been such a blessing and always finds a way to make me smile. B is the BEST big bro and loves him SO much. He tries to find ways to play with C and include him in whatever it is he's doing. B said "Mommy, I'm sad he won't be a baby anymore b/c I'll miss petting his head...but I'm so excited he's going to be a big boy b/c he can play with me and my trains!" So sweet!! LOVE my boys :))
Here's what C's been up to this month:
  • Talking a lot! His words are:
    • Mama
    • Dada
    • Br (for Brooks)
    • Uh Oh
    • Meow- he says this ALL the time, and crawls through the house calling for our cat ha!
    • He clicks his tongue to call for our dog like I do
    • Bye Bye- he also waves bye bye 
    • Pa- for Papa
    • Moo
    • Hey- which sounds like Ayy
  • He has taken steps, but not fully walking yet. He will take anywhere from 2-6 steps at a time, but doesn't seem interested in doing it all the time. Today he took 14 steps straight, two different times, so hopefully not too much longer!
  • When music is playing, he bobs his head to the tune...that's how he dances Ha!
  • He copies B whenever he does anything...screaming, laughing, dancing, etc...
  • He claps ALL the time. He will clap for himself and it's SO funny. Whenever we say Yay, Clap, Excited, Great Job, he will clap. How does he know?
  • He can say/sign for more whenever he needs more food/juice/milk
  • He will eat ANYTHING we put in front of him. This is so different from what I've been used to for almost 4 years. And when anyone has food, especially Brian, he will beg for a bite Ha! When he is done eating he rips off his bib, throws in on the floor, then proceeds to throw any food that's left on his plate over the side to our dog Heidi. You can imagine how excited she gets whenever we sit him in his highchair!
  • He still only has 4 teeth, but 2 more are about to make their appearance!
  • Started drinking whole milk about 2 weeks before his b-day. I ran out of formula and was not about to go spend $25 for only 2 weeks! 
  • He's been waving and saying bye bye at the same time! He doesn't quite have the wave (opening and closing of the hand), but instead opens and closes his thumb and pointer finger...still the same thing right!? Yesterday as he was leaving the playroom he turned around and waved/said bye bye, then crawled outta there on a mission to the stairs ha!
  • He still takes 2 naps. 1st is around 930 and 2nd around 2. Not sure when it will be cut to 1, but hoping its not anytime soon.
  • He started PDO today!! He had a great first day and didn't whine too much, and that makes me happy. He goes Thurs and Fri, so I'm very excited about my "me" time! 
We can't wait to see what the next month brings!!
Forgot to include his stats: Weight: 16lb 10oz 1%ile (he might eat a lot, but he doesn't gain anything!) Height: 29' 3/4 46%ile
