I gave Carson a little side of ketchup with his chicken nuggets tonight at dinner. He wasn't so sure about it at first, but after Mommy showed him what to do a couple of times, he was hooked!
The first few bites, he thought he had to dip the chicken nugget in the ketchup, put it in his mouth, then take the chicken nugget out of his mouth to re-dip it again. :)
We might have created a bad habit here, but he enjoyed his ketchup!
Our friends little girl Caelyn turned 2 last weekend. Her birthday party was at Brown's Gymnastics in Altamonte. 
Carson was supossed to be participating in a gymnastic's class. Instead of doing what the other kids were doing (they all were a bit older), Carson decided he would try out all of the gymnastics equipment. 
Daddy ran a little late to the party, so I was chasing Carson all over the gym! Gotta love our little active boy!
Carson had so much fun and had rosy red cheeks for hours after the party!
Each member of your family gets their own clipboard. You can hang them on the fridge, in an office, or next to the door you run in and out of all the time. You simply "clip" an important piece of paperwork (appt. cards, birthday invitations, to-do lists) onto the clipboard of the person it belongs to and it keeps all of those loose papers secure and easy to find! 
I made one for each of us, even baby, and hope that this helps to organize my life a little more. We'll soon see! 
We were so thankful that there was no one in line and Carson walked right up to the Easter bunny and said, "Hi"! I was expecting tears, but there were none. 
After our fun photo we walked around the mall for a bit. Hannah was such a good girl too!
The sign in table displayed Carson's favorite stuffed animals, bubbles for take home treats, adorable pictures of him, and my favorite, a Big Brother poem framed with his handprints. 
The food was delicious, made by all sorts of important people in our lives.
The best part was the grilled cheese bar, so kid-friendly, but adult-friendly too! My family experimented with all sorts of "gourmet" grilled cheese sandwiches a few nights before the shower, and came up with some yummy ones!
All of Carson's friends and cousins were there to share in this special day. Even Hannah got some chill time in the ball pit.
Carson's favorite activity was the bounce houses. He got to jump with all of his little buddies.
There was a time for presents too. We were so blessed with so many different things! Diapers, wipes, clothes, and other essential items...including our top of the line double stroller!
Carson was surprised with a visit from DJ Lance Rock (aka DJ Jacob Rock) from Yo Gabba Gabba. He had a blast dancing with his Uncle Jacob to his favorite tunes!
Thank you to our friends and family for making this day SO special for all of us! We love you very much!
We pulled out all of Carson's yard tools so he could help too.
Such a big helper...well...somewhat! :)
We arrived at the campsite and headed straight for the playground so Carson could run off some energy. On our walk to the park, we spotted some deer.
Madison was a great playmate for Carson. She even got in the tunnel with him!
Here's proof our little guy was exhausted from his busy day. He almost fell asleep while we were swinging him!
After the playground, and a walk around the boardwalk to spot some manatees, we headed back to the campsite for some hot dogs on the fire. Carson entertained us with some dancing, and some basketball. 
What a fun day we had traveling around Florida! Our 2 1/2 hour drive home wasn't too bad, and we were all ready for bed!
We were definitely entertained by the underwater mermaid shows!
Carson the mermaid! 
Carson did pretty well during the shows. There was one part where a turtle swam by the glass and he was yelling, "turtle!!" 
After alot of fun at the park, we headed to Chili's for a birthday lunch. Brooke got a yummy chocolate cake to celebrate her birthday.
Carson was exhausted from his fun day, and fell asleep within minutes of us buckling him in the car! Happy 6th Birthday Brooke! 
Here is our sweet baby boy's profile. As soon as the sonographer put the wand on my belly, his little face immediately showed up. Matt and I both said "He looks like Carson!!" 
Then we got confirmation that our little one is definitely a BOY!
We were SO excited when the sonographer flipped the vision to 3D and were in awe that you could see so much. She said that he was in the perfect position and he stayed in place so we could get lots of wonderful pictures of him. 
Of course I am far enough along to realize there's a little human growing inside, but seeing him the way we were able to made Matt and I SO excited to meet him! After looking at pictures last night of Carson when he was first born, I have a feeling they just might resemble each other. We are so thrilled to be having another son and can't wait to have our family of 4 real soon!
