Long overdue update

It has been way too long since our last blog post, so I'll try to get it all in. Since our last post, Carson celebrated his 3rd birthday (December 12th), had his 4th Christmas (including a visit from Granddad), went to Disneyland for the first time, got potty trained and stuck a Cheerio up his nose. Yeah, i think that should cover it.

We have had quite a few milestones in the last few months - some of which are really easily to put on a piece of paper (or a blog post) and some of which are more challenging to articulate. One of the coolest things ties to Carson's incredible personalty. He is becoming more and more expressive 0 not just with his words (which are getting significantly more advanced with the help of weekly speech therapy) but his facial and emotional expression. When we explain something is sad, he pouts his lips, furrows his brow and says "I'm so sad" in a super funny fake way. He also, fake burbs and fake hiccups- with a little giggle each time. Then I read stories to him, often making up different voices. Just yesterday Carson started making up his own voices too. He's becoming quite the little comedian.

Honestly, the developing personality has its challenges too - temper tantrums, talking back, overall feisty-ness - but I wouldn't trade it for anything. The little man gets cooler and cooler everyday. Cant wait to see what the next few months have in store for us.

The super fun birthday celebration


We love Santa this year
