Just One

Just one tooth, that's all. I thought that once one of them broke through, a bunch of them would follow. But, no. There is another one but it's still not quite through yet. We're still playing the waiting game.

Carson's First Crush

Giada DeLaurentiis

He always asks to watch the "mommy cooking show" and I've tried putting on other shows like Rachel Ray or Ina Garten but those just don't make the cut. He also loves the ocean in her new show, Giada At Home. He asks me to play the opening credits about five times so he can see the ocean. I can't blame him though, she's a good choice. Totally beautiful.

P.S. Sorry about that, hope you can see the pictures now. I just got a Mac and I'm still trying to figure out how to use it. So far, I hate it but we'll see if I can get the hang of it.

Ten Months Old!

Carson Quote of the Day

I was sitting on the couch, nursing Reese, and this was my conversation with Carson:

C: Are you feeding Reese? Is he drinking milk?

J: Yup, he's hungry.

C: Oh, no, wait a minute. He's drinking Kool-Aid! There's Kool-Aid in there!

Carson Quote of the Day

The boys and I were on the ground wrestling and they started attacking my face so I get up and say, "No more ripping my face apart."

Carson looks as me, confused, "No more ripping your pace a-fart?"

Carson Quote(s) of the Day

He had the ABC song stuck in his head and this is how he was singing it: A, B, C, D, E, F, blah... H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, blah... Q, R, S, T, U, blah, W, X, Y, and blah. Now I know my blah, blah, blah...

Then later Ryan was telling me how he though it was funny that Reese always cries out for Dada when he's distressed. Carson pipes in with a high-pitched voice, "yeah Reese says, 'Dada save me from Mama!'"

My first photoshoot!

I had the best time taking these pictures!! I think they turned out pretty good but that wasn't too hard having such a beautiful, photogenic family! My mom took these pictures in to WalMart for Christmas cards and the worker accused her of copyrighting these photos because they looked professional! How sweet is that?! But I do what some suggestions about how to improve. I have a hard time critiquing my photos so let me know what you think of the lighting, angles, and editing.

Carson Quote(s) of the Day

Last night, for family home evening, we were teaching Carson about baptism. We told him that we he turns 8, he can get baptized and become a member of the church. His response: No! I don't want to be churched!

Earlier that day he broke one of my plastic hangers: Oh, it's broke! Poor little fella!
