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.

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!

Carsen's 2 year pictures

These are overdue and I apologize. A friend was kind enough to take these for us and we couldn't be happier w/ the way they turned out. Now we need to decide which ones to print and put up around the house! Had to have the hat on of course.

We turned on the TV for awhile so he would sit still!
Tried to get a good family shot.

It was cold that day!

Carsen's 2nd Birthday

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of Carsen's birthday party last month. He opened presents at home the day before his birthday since his birthday was on Friday.




Eating pizza w/ Ella and Eva.



Eva was more interested in opening presents than Carsen was most of the time.



Picking the next present to open.

Eva enjoying the frosting on her cupcake.








YUM!

Fun is what you make it

I recently showed Carsen he could play under the laundry basket by turning it over. Of course, he doesn't fit completely under it but he doesn't mind. He calls it his house and can't quite pull it over on himself causing some whining.

Thinking Chair

Carsen got this fun chair for Christmas and when we first brought it home referred to it as his "thinking chair." He loves to sit in it to read or watch TV.


With his notebook and pencil just like Steve.
