Carson’s one month old today! Wow, one month? In a lot of ways, it’s hard to believe that it’s been just a month, in that it’s hard to think about life before Carson. He’s such a natural and amazing part of our family and feels like he always has been. And in other ways, time has just flown! People always tell you about having kids, “They grow up so quickly!” It’s one of those pieces of advice you hear so much it doesn’t really mean much…but now even after just one month, I can see how it’s true.
Here’s some updates on our favorite new baby:
- Weighing just about 10 pounds
- Now wearing size 1 diapers
- Went to sacrament meeting for the first time today. He did great; didn’t cry or fuss too much, and mostly just slept in his baby carrier.
- Stayed with a babysitter (aunt Brenn) for the first time this week, just for a couple hours, while Josh and I went to a BYU dinner. We suffered a little bit of Carson withdrawal, but survived with only one text message check-in with Brenn (who was nice enough to send a picture).
- Making cute squawking and cooing noises more and more
- Grunting a lot; yep, he’s a pretty big grunter
- Likes baths: they calm him down, especially having his hair washed
Here’s a picture of Carson today in his Church outfit (sorry for the quality). But notice that he’s showing off his awesome part.
We sure love you, Carson!
