My Baby is 1!

Carson's first birthday was on Saturday! I honestly can't believe he is 1! I have no idea how this last year has gone by so fast! We sure love this little man! He is a rough & tough little guy! A few fun facts about Carson:

• Has 4 teeth! (2 top, 2 bottom), with more on the way.
• Pretty rough! He hits and smacks all the time! We are trying everything we can think of to teach him to be soft!
• Loves to crawl around. He is fastest at army crawling... like super fast! But can crawl like normal too.
• Pulls up on everything, all day long! And walks along all of our furniture. But can't walk on his own yet.
• Loves to drive cars with his older brother. He even makes the vroom vrooom noise while driving them!
• He is our little eater! He loves almost any food! His favorites... 7 layer dip, guacamole, waffles, sandwiches, and mac n cheese. The only things we have found so far that he won't eat.... bananas, scrambled eggs, and usually oatmeal. 
• Says Mama, Dada, Nom Nom, Hi, Yeaaaaahhh, Ba (ball)
• He will do a few "tricks" on command. Claps, peek-a-boo, wave, give kisses,
• Loves to splash in the pool and tub
• Still taking his milk in bottles, but loves a sippy cup! Only the straw kind though!
• Has a little bit of stranger anxiety still, but is slowly getting a little better.
• If Jaxon is not within sight, he yells through the house trying to find him.
• Uses his thumbs for everything! Pushing cars, examining toys or food, etc. 
• Stats from the Dr today: Weight- 20 lbs 13.5 oz (19%), Length- 29.5" (40%), Head Circ- 49 cm (97%)

First thing Saturday morning, we let Carson open his presents from us! Good morning little birthday boy!

We did a beach ball themed party at our community clubhouse yesterday. It was so fun, and it was a perfect day for a pool party! We had chicken and beef tacos for lunch, and cookies or fruit pizzas for dessert.

Fruity Beach ball!

Our little family!

 We have such great family and friends! Thanks to everyone who came to help and celebrate our little munchkin! He was getting a little grumpy, so we decided to sing and do presents! The kids were also getting anxious to swim!
I totally forgot to put on his birthday hat while we were singing, so he got to wear it while he ate his cake!

He loved it!

Taking a quick bath in the sink to get all that cake off!

Then it was time to send the kids, and parents out to swim! Jaxon was so tired of waiting!

 This post could just keep on going, and going with all the pictures I have! It was really a great day and we were happy to be celebrating our little baby! I just love this little guy so much! He is soooo smiley and happy! We just love him to pieces! He is my blonde boy and I love it! Such a fun little guy we have been blessed with! Happy Birthday Carson!
