Prepping for Baby

After we got Carsen moved to his new room, we got to work getting the crib ready for the baby. Carsen was a little upset he couldn't get in the crib once the mattress was raised.

Baby Lainie

We're hoping Carsen reacts to the baby the way he's taken to my cousin Chelsey's little girl, Lainie. She was born in December so is at a fun age right now. Carsen absolutely loves her.

Wanting to lay down next to her.

Look at those chubby cheeks!

Carsen's new room

Carsen has been in his new room for almost 2 months and doing great! We were a little worried about sleeping in a big boy bed but turns out we worried for nothing. He loves his new bed and his new room.

Shared Naptime

Easter 2011

I know Easter was 3 months ago but I didn't realize I hadn't posted any pictures. Carsen had a great time hunting eggs and only complained b/c he had to wait before picking up eggs. They were pretty tempting scattered on the ground.

Tulsa Zoo

In May we took a trip to the Tulsa Zoo for the first time. Of course, it had to be about the hottest day we'd had so far this year, but we had a good time anyway. Carsen really loved all the animals.
