11 Months Old

One more month and our little guy will be a year old. It's amazing how fast the year has gone and it has been wonderful. Carson is so much fun and puts a smile on my face everyday. He is changing and growing everyday. I think he is really close to hitting the 20 lb. mark which I am happy about. He is just such a skinny dude. He is really trying to talk and can kind of say a few words like "hi" "ball" "woof" and of course "dad" and "mom." The other day I was walking in the grocery store and a lady and her two little boys were walking out. Carson looks over at them and says "hi." The lady was so impressed and said "wow, he's pretty young to be talking." I just smiled and kept walking. I didn't want to tell her that is about all he says...I just wanted her to think my little man is super smart! He just started using his little toy that helps him walk. He cruises around on that thing like crazy. I was starting to get worried that he wasn't intersted in walking, but as long as he has his little toy to push, he'll cruise around. He loves to play golf (well it's more like hockey how he plays) He loves Chill and I to chase him around the house and he is learning what the word "no" means. He is pretty good at shaking his head now and when he does something he knows he's not supposed to, he starts shaking his head. He is starting to be really strong willed and throws a bit of a tantrum at times. He can do the whole "wet noodle" move and squirm out of your arms when he doesn't want to do something...like go down for a nap. I just am not sure I am ready for all this. Inspite of all that I absolutely love this little guy and am so happy to have him.
