First Cold of the Season

So we believe that Carson has his first cold.  He was sounding about bit rattly for a few days.  Sometimes it sounds like he's purring.  A couple of kids at daycare are starting to get snuffles, so I called the CF clinic and they put him on antibiotics.  No improvement yet, but I'll call the CF clinic again on Monday if he's not sounding any better.

Houdini Carson

This past weekend Carson finally figured out how to get out of his crib. Not quite ready for him to have free range at night, we had to find a solution. I found a crib tent on Amazon and it was delivered Wednesday. Ashley helped me put it together. At first Carson was so mad about it, but now it doesn't bother him.

A Day with Grandma and Grandpa Hermsen

Carson's daycare was closed for a couple of days and on Friday he spent the day with Hermsen grandparents.  He had a fun day playing with some neighborhood kids.  These pictures are from grandpa's phone I assume :)  Aunt Ashley survived Thursday with Carson, but did have to take a nap after Grandma Strader came up.

Attack of Dexy's Midnight Runnners

Mr. Carson was home today after throwing up this morning.  I decided to put him in a lovely pair of overalls.  After this, I noticed that he looked like he was from the 80s classic hit "Come On Eilleen" video.  All he needed was a handkerchief tied around his neck. Here's the proof...

18 Month Check-Up

Yes, I know he's 19 months old...Due to it being sports physicals season, his appointment got pushed back a month.  Carson is still hovering around the 24 lbs. range, but he grew 1.5 inches since CF clinic a month ago.  It's a good thing too.  We were noticing that he was looking skinny again.

Carson's favorite phrase this weekend was "Gobble, gobble, gobble."  We have no clue where that came from, but he will sure be ready for Thanksgiving.  And now for some pictures Chris took...

 Doesn't he look so innocent?

Thankful Thursday

I am really thankful for swim diapers.  I took Carson out for a swim in the backyard this afternoon.  Last time we did, his diaper got so full of water.  Heavy, wet diapers do not make for fun running around the backyard.  Needless to say, it fell off and Carson was buck naked.  Not a good look for the possible neighbors outside.

This time, I put Carson in swim diapers.  He was able to get out of the pool and run around the yard.  He loved it!  He even found an army man from fireworks left oven from the Fourth of July.
