Dec. 15th--Carson's first time playing with his Kick n' Crawl activity mat. 
Dec. 26--He had been fussy and not going down for a nap, so I carried him around in this sling while doing housework. He'd wake up every time I tried to take him out of it, so I just left him in, placed the whole bundle in his swing, and he got a great nap! 
Dec. 29--GO HAWKS! This cute sweatsuit was a gift from our Chariton Hawkeye friends, the Bisgards. We hope to take him to meet Herky sometime! 
Dec. 30--Dad's favorite outfit...the "Dad's Team"baseball onesie. With Dad being Williamsburg's baseball coach and our red team color, this is perfect. Everyone has the same thought...we have received four of these to date!
Dec. 31--Watching football with Dad. Carson was such a cuddle bug in this warm fleece outfit, and dressed for the occasion with his little football/helmet shoes!
Hello, 2008! Wow! This year has flown by! Ben and I were reminiscing of last year at this time we each were sipping on a "Jamaican Smile" frozen rum drink, relaxing on the beach in Montego Bay. Today, it's almost noon and we're still in our pajamas with baby spit-up on them, relaxing on the couch watching football...and loving it! What a difference a year makes! Our New Years' celebration was having Kelly, Jason, Macey, and "BBK" (Baby Boy Kent is due Jan. 29) over for dinner and then just a low key night of hanging out. It was nice after all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas travel to stay home with good company.
Carson is starting to sleep a little bit longer stretches of about 4 hours at a time. He did sleep through the night on Saturday night, but not again since. Our favorite activity is watching him play on his activity mat. He'll lay there entertained for 20-30 minutes cooing and looking at the toys overhead, waving up and hitting them every now and then, and he can get on a good run of kicking the ball above his feet...his record is 4 kicks in a row, like a little foot speed bag.
This next year will bring a lot of fun watching Carson grow! I'll make the resolution to try to keep this updated at least monthly. I would say weekly, but I'll be realistic that after a few more months I'll trickle down on how many pictures we take! Our other New Years Resolution is the typical get in shape and lose weight. We do have a motivation/reward. We are looking forward to going somewhere warm next New Years' to ring in 2009 (the year that we both will turn 30!) with some friends!

Glad you had such a great New Year's. I just thought I would share this with you... it took me a while to figure it out. If you view your pictures in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer before you post them, you can rotate them upright and then when you go to put them in the blog, they won't be sideways.
