Wow, our baby is a half year old this week. Hard to believe, time sure does fly! Some days I wish I could freeze time, slow things down, keep him in this stage of curiousity and delightful discovery. But then Carson reaches a new milestone, and I can't wait to see what the next day will bring.

Best Buds - Kyle and Carson

Can you believe these are the same baby boys as in the first picture taken just a few months ago?! Kyle and Carson have had many playdates over the past six months (they were born just a few days apart)but during the past few they have begun to really play with one another. It's so much fun to watch them interact, hold hands, and roll into each other. They'll be fighting over toys in no time!

Beach Day Birthday

The perfect beach day!

Little Monster

Mmmm...yummy in my tummy, and in my hair, and in my ears...

Not sure how much actually makes it in his mouth but he seems to be having fun exploring this new thing called oatmeal.

Play Time!

Carson LOVES his daddy. Ryan walks in from work and Carson lights up and lets out a squeal because he knows his best buddy is home to play! He has the cutest little belly laugh and Ryan really knows how to get him going.

Pretty sad that this is the first day all summer that we have made it down to the beach! Long gone are the days of the spur-of-the-moment let's hop in the car with the cooler and some towels, dinner at Cap't Jacks, cocktails and sunset over the beach, do it all again the next day-type of weekends that we've enjoyed the past few summers together.

Carson will be a cute little beach-bum with us next year. We can wait....
