8 Weeks

I've been so busy I forgot to get on here and post. Well, every time I thought about it something came up. That's life with kids. I'm sure you know what I mean!

Carson is doing great! We went for his 2 month check up today and he is in the 50% of everything. He is now 11 lbs 10 oz and 23 in long (I think). We have had a bit of an issue with breastfeeding the last three weeks. I think it is because he has reflux. There were a couple of days he wouldn't take the breast or bottle so I knew something was wrong. He is a great eater, usually eats in 5 minutes and is done. The doctor gave me a prescription for some reflux med so we will see if that is the problem. Funny thing is, as long as this has persisted he was actually up every hour or two last night to eat. Pretty sure he is starting a growth spurt. He can typically sleep 5-6 hours at night. I hope it doesn't last long...the spurt that is.

As far as development he is cooing and trying to talk and laughing. He is sooo cute. He has been doing most of that since 2 weeks! Yep we think he is a genius. HA
He likes to be on his stomach I have found out and I guess I need to put him there more often. The doc said his head was getting flat and especially on the right side. I noticed it after she said it. So, he is sleeping on his tummy right now...with me watching of course.

Carson loves the outdoors. Boy is he like his dad. I think he is going to take after Kevin more but have my calm personality! lol He's been the calmest of all the kids. He's already had to take the abuse of this brother and sister so I think by the time he can move, if he has a good memory, they are going to be in for a good beat down!

I can't believe 8 weeks have gone by already. His little life has brought us so much joy! I can't wait to see him grow each day!

Almost 6 weeks PP

I just can't believe it's almost been a month and a half since Carson was born. Man, it feels like yesterday to me. He is growing and is just a great baby. I know that God has sent him to us for some special reason. I feel his calmness and the present of the Spirit in him. He already wants to say so much. You look and talk to him and he already coos and smiles. He's been doing that since 2 weeks old. What baby does that that soon? It's just amazing to me.

Brady and Kendra are in love with him. It is great to see the love of brothers and sisters. Of course we have the occasional jealously and smacking on the head after rubbing it (lol) but for the most part, they are really good with him. I can't wait until Carson and Brady can play together. I think they will be best friends though they are already so different from one another. They will be teaching each other things (hopefully good!).

As for me, I am feeling great! I'm ready for the weather to get warm so we can hang outside. We've made so many new friends at church with kids I think this summer is going to be filled with many new adventures (one might be potty training Brady). What an adventure!
