4th of July

Waiting for the Provo parade to start!

Still waiting... he got bored, so he played games on my phone.


Waving to the llamas! Seriously his favorite part of the parade! One of them stopped right in front of us and peed for like 2 minutes straight! It was hilarious! And if you ask Jaxon about the parade, he only talks about that! "The llama go peepee in the road!!!"

Naptime!

Picture time!


NOT how I wanted to spend the evening! Carson had a cold for a few days, and after naps, was really struggling to breathe! (Gasping, turning red... after not breathing for a few seconds, choking) It was freaking me out! So I took him to the ER in Provo. Luckily he was fine, just super stuffy! But I ALMOST missed the fireworks because we were there for so long!

Jaxon, Joel and his mom saving our spot!

Crazy glowstick picture!

We made it just in time!

Jaxon and my mom.

The group! (except photographer Joel) Thank you Jaxon... we really wanted a picture of your fruit snack instead of your face!

Me and my boys!!

We had a great 4th of July!

Here we go... with the monthly updates about Carson! Maybe it gets old for some people to read...but I don't regret doing it one bit with Jaxon! I never thought it would be so hard to remember the little details about a child life. But you do.... so I blog! :)
Anyway.... 1 Month! WOW, right? Carson seems so tiny still, but is growing so fast! He changes everyday, and is becoming more awake, alert, strong, and cute of course!
A few pictures from today!

Most of his 0-3 month clothes are too big
Sleeps 5-6 hours at night
Eats about every 3-4 hours during the day
Takes good naps, even with big brother bugging him and making noise
LOVES to be cuddled and held
Stares at the pictures on the wall behind our couch. So weird, he can be freaking out, and we lay him so that he can see those pictures and he calms right down. I think it's probably the contrast of the black frames on a white wall... but who knows!
Fussy time is from 8:30-10 ish at night
Scratches his face, eyes, and head constantly! I keeps socks over his hands most of the time
Last week, grabbed a handful of hair (his own) in a death grip and screamed bloody murder till I pried his fingers loose.
Hates baths
Finally burps well

That's it for now! LOVE me some newborns! I don't want that stage to go away yet! But the stages to come are so exciting too!

Everyday Life

Oh life with a newborn is so much different the 2nd time around! We hang out at home a lot more then usual... but it's so fun to be together as a little family! I am soaking up every minute before Joel starts school again!
These are just some random pictures of the last few weeks as a family of 4! They are not in any order... we take soooo many pictures! :)

LOTS of cuddling!!

Lots of Baths!

And lots of picture taking!

I am totally still in the newborn bubble... we go out and do somethings a few times a week. But for the most part, it's been pretty low key. I hardly wear make-up, my house is usually messy, and I am lucky if the dishes are done. But I love everything about this time in our lives.... messy, low key, sleep deprived and all!! I can't complain... especially when my 3 week old baby is ONLY waking up between 4-5am to eat. And my 3 year old is the sweetest big brother a mom could ask for. His favorite line... "Ohhhh sweetieeeee!" (While stroking his face or head very gently!)

Pictures of my Boys!

I have 2 boys..... whoa!! It's crazy!!! I took them to get pictures done and I love them!!

Carson

1.5 weeks old

These little shorts were way too big.... the pictures look so much cuter with out them!

This cry face.... I love!

Joel hates this picture, says it looks weird! But I LOVE IT!!!!!! He looks like a little, old wrinkly man! Oh and what newborn lifts up his head and looks around....Carson does.
