Carson and Dame

Carson loves to get the dogs.  Unfortunately, Dame doesn't feel the same.

Hanging in There

Carson's been doing well.  He just finished up another round of antibiotics and steroids.  He is getting so heavy!  I can't wait until I can stop lugging the carseat around.  Since we started Carson on Claritin for possible allergies, he has been really good.  No more crazy sneezing, coughing, or runny noses.  It'll take more time to see if that really was the problem since he was also on antibiotics.

Carson loves going to daycare.  He likes to climb up on things.  Last week he pushed a box of wipes over to the pack-n-play to stand on to see the baby inside. (Baby Cooper wasn't in there at the time)  He will also climb up the baby gate and even got one leg over!  His favorite thing to do at daycare is to chase a ball around.  It's a little multicolored ball with a rattle inside.  You can roll it on the ground and he'll follow it like a dog.

Tonight, Carson was trying to "eat" the dogs.  Dame was just letting him try to bite her tail--stupid dog.  Then Carson moved on to pulling on Earl's ears and trying to eat those.  Earl would get up and walk away or move his tail if Carson got it.  Carson continues to enjoy ramming the dog food and water bowls with his walker.  The little turkey will repeatedly do it, but not ram into anything else.

October CF Clinic

Today Carson weighed 17 lbs.  4 oz.  They are pleased with his weight gain.  He was prescribed a medication for possible allergies.  Chris noticed that when he gets a runny nose, Carson does too.  Carson is now up to 7 teeth.  They just keep coming!

NICU Reunion

Today we went back up to Children's for a good reason--the NICU reunion.  It was good to see some of those amazing people who took care of Carson while we were there.  It was a fun day and we were excited to get a family photo taken; our first since the day the boys we born.  While waiting to see one of Carson's favorite nurses, we were interviewed for the news.  Carson was hamming it up for the camera!

So it was really three teeth that came in last weekend and another top front tooth came in this weekend.  Hopefully, Carson will be back to normal tomorrow and stop being cranky with these teeth!

More Teeth

Carson got in a top side tooth last week.  One of his front top teeth came in.  Two more are waiting to pop through.  He was miserable all weekend.

Daycare Photos

Here are some pics of Carson that were taken at daycare over the last week. The last few are from this morning.  She couldn’t resist taking the pictures of him standing on the chair because she just couldn’t believe he was doing it! He had this look on his face of, aha I know I can do this and I am before she notices me doing it! 

Walking Wonder

Grandma and Grandpa Strader got Carson a walker this weekend.  He loves it.  He even maneuvered it around the kitchen table.  The dogs got mad when he rammed their food bowls and moved them about two feet.

Carson is able to pull up on just about anything.  We again had to lower his bed a notch.  We also put on the "chew" guards on the railings to help keep Chris's beautiful crib looking nice!
