Making Cookies

I took these awhile ago and is one of the few times Carsen has wanted to do more than just dump ingredients in the bowl.

Okay so they're not homeade, but he had fun pulling the dough apart!

Eddie was trying hard to look cute and score a bite. He was sadly disappointed.

Airplane Ride

Carsen had his first airplane ride when he was 3 months old and he slept through the whole thing. We recently flew home for the weekend and Carsen did great. He didn't want to wear the headset for the majority of the flight even when we explained we couldn't hear him w/o them.

Waiting for daddy to complete his pre-flight checklist.

Actually wearing the headset.

Wrestling

Carsen has taken an interest in wrestling. He, Dad and Eddie have quite the time rolling around on the floor.

San Antonio Babymoon

When I was pregnant w/ Carsen, Eric and I took a "babymoon" to Boston. We only thought it fair we take one during this pregnancy too. We spent a long weekend in San Antonio where the temperatures reached 100 everyday. We stayed on the Riverwalk, ate good food, saw some beautiful sites, and just relaxed.

My steampot at Joe's Crab Shack. Delicious crab legs, boiled shrimp, corn on the cob, sausage and potatoes. Yes, I ate every bite!

At the Alamo.

The Rivercenter Mall.

Our room at the Holiday Inn. The balcony looked right over the Riverwalk.

Transition Time

For the past month Carsen has been sleeping with the rail off one side of his crib in preparation for a twin bed. We were nervous about this transition as any parent would be mainly b/c he might not stay in bed once we put him down. To our surprise, he had no trouble at all. In the mornings he lays in bed and yells for us to come get him. He's only fallen out of bed 3 times something that might be a bigger problem when we get the twin bed set up.
The next project is to get our guest bedroom moved downstairs and turn the 3rd room upstairs into Carsen's new room. Pictures will be posted of this progress as we hope to have it done w/in the month.

Story time

We love our books!

Chuck E. Cheese

We took our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese back in March in Wichita. Eric's cousin got married and it worked out to have lunch w/ our friend's the Weimer's who had moved from Independence earlier this year. Even though the adults didn't get to catch up on very much the kids had a great time!

Carsen wasn't tall enough to climb on each platform by himself so Eric had to crawl in and help him.

Inside a maze suspended over our heads. It took awhile for them to figure out how to get down. They kept going round and round.

Giddy up horsey!

Carsen wouldn't ride this one but Brady would!
