Our little Valentine

Ah, just one year ago he was a little snuggle bug...

Bright eyed, soaking in the world...

With a smile and giggle that melted our hearts!

And today, he's still melting our hearts with his excitement in discovering the world and how to move and talk.  He now can say "momma," "dada," and "up!"  And a lot of jibberish babble, too.  He's running around and climbing up on everything. He loves to jump on the bed, but can't get any air off the ground yet. Not too many cuddle moments anymore! He's all boy and on the go!  We've slowed down on how many photos we take, will try to take more!  

This picture after bathtime (his favorite playtime) shows how he loves to look in the mirror...he laughs at himself when we put the hood up on his towels!    

Thank you to our blog followers who have been enjoying sharing our moments with Carson with us! 

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! :) XOXO--Carson, Momma, & Dada

Lil' Mozart

Carson and Tate Schaeffer played a lovely duet.  I'm trying to cut and paste a pic from Amy's blog of Carson and Griff striking some chords, but not much luck getting it onto my blog yet!  Daddies still hope these boys will grow up to play sports together, but they may be in the band!

Christmas and early January

What? I like spaghetti. And baths.

Checkin' out Dad's buck.

I crown thee King of Nord.

SUPRISE! Carson's special suprise Santa outfit for our Christmas celebrations was a big hit!

Please, mum, I'd like some more!
