2 Months Old!

This week our baby turned 2 months old and had his 2 month check up this afternoon shots and all!! He is currently 10 pounds 2 ounces and 21 inches long. That's up 3 1/2 pounds and 3 inches from birth. He was the 5th percentile in both before but now he is up to the 10th percentile on weight! Good Job Baby Carson! He is finally moving into 0-3 month clothes! He handled all 3 of his shots like a champ and only cried for a few minutes! Mommy got a shot too and I'm sure daddy will be thrilled to find out that I am sending him yet again for another shot when he goes back to see his doctor!


The dogs are adapting well to having Carson around. As you can see Raegan likes to watch Carson. Luke watches him very closely when he cries but only comes to check on him once he stops crying. Other than that they don't seem to mind him being in their house. I'm sure they will feel differently once he is Mobile!

I went back to work this week and survived! I didn't cry which surprised EVERYONE including me! It helps that I know he is in great hands with Hopie and Rylie! Rylie (age 14 months) is very helpful! She loves to hug on Carson and help feed him his bottle. We are working on her being more gentle but she is doing great! She has gotten into his aquaphor once (and got it all over Hopies coffee table) and went ahead and finished off one of his bottles too! Holly was pretty grossed out that Rylie got it but she was happy she knew me as well as she did! We have all laughed pretty hard about it!


Things are going great and we love having our little man around. We are continuously reminded of how lucky we are to have him in our life and how blessed we truly are.

I can't believe it has already been 7 weeks since Baby Carson Arrived! Time has gone by so quickly and I can't believe I have to go back to work in a week! Carson is growing so fast its crazy! He weighs 9 lbs 7.5 ounces as of about 10 minutes ago! Thats up 11 ounces from last Sunday! CHUNK! I think now is the time that I stop stressing about if he is getting enough to eat!


This is one of my favorite pictures of Carson and I!

We went to Tulsa to introduce Carson to our family a few weeks ago. We got pictures of almost everyone holding him but this one is one of my favorites for sure. This is our niece Britain holding Carson. She is growing so quickly and gets more and more beautiful every time we make it home to see her!

This was carson at 1 month! Dana send us monthly stickers! It didn't quite fit on his onsie for month 1 but I can't wait to keep track of how big he is getting each month!! This bench was made for us by a few of Chase's Partners. It's so perfect and was one of our favorite gifts. It really shows how much Chase means to all of his partners.
We already plan to tell him that he can't go to UT because it would look really silly in his dorm room!!

Today we went to the Pumpkin Patch to take pictures and pick out a few pumpkins! Yes we are well aware that this was more for us than for Carson! He has NO idea he was there especially since he slept the whole time. Chase and I had fun and are both so excited to take him when he gets a little older! They had a petting zoo, horse ride for little ones, hay ride, kiddie hay ride and a place to paint pumpkins too!
We love and appreciate everyday with him and know how lucky we are to have him in our lives. He is perfect and more than we could have ever asked for!
