18 Month Dr. Visit

Carson had his 18 month doctor appointment today.

He weighs 28 pounds (76th percentile)
He is 35 3/4 inches long (99th percentile)
His head circumference is 48.8cm (74th percentile)

He is a healthy boy and is going to be very tall when he grows up!!! The doctor also recommended that we schedule his first dentist appointment soon now that his molars are in.

Reminiscing

Aunt Susan and Uncle Keith:

I always seem to end up in the same chair after a fun yet exhausting weekend at the Lakes...

Thanks for all the fun!

...More Blue Balloon

Hopefully you already saw my post from earlier today. Now it is snack time. Where did Carson go???



Oh! There he is. Yes, that's right he STILL will not let go of the balloon. Not even for snack time. This evening's bath and dinner should be interesting...

The Blue Balloon

Carson and I ran several errands this morning. The cashier at Trader Joe's gave Carson a balloon. Carson's face just lit up and I told the cashier that he just made Carson's day! After leaving Trader Joe's, Carson would NOT let go of the balloon. So...we took it with us to Babies 'R Us and to lunch at Pizza Hut. By the time we got home, I looked in the back seat and Carson was passed out but still had a very tight grip on the balloon. It was too cute!

Symphony on the Prairie

Saturday night we met some friends at Conner Prairie for the "Symphony on the Prairie". The theme was BOND: JAMES BOND. The weather that evening was just perfect and the adults and the kiddos had a really good time. Here are some pictures from the night. I will upload some videos in a couple of days.

Lake Tippecanoe

This weekend was extremely fun! We headed up north to Syracuse, IN to stay at Keith and Susan's lake house on Lake Tippecanoe. We had a big birthday party & family reunion for my Grandma Hiatt's 86th birthday! The weekend was full of tubing, skiing, playing, and lots of eating! I have posted several pictures and movies below. (This is only 1/2 the pictures and more will be posted in a of couple days. =)

Hiding in the Closet

I had the pleasure of watching our little friend, Carmela, today. Here is a short clip of them playing this morning. (Keep an eye out for Carmela's cheesy grin. =)

Say Cheese!

Just taking a picture of Carson's haircut...

Sunglasses

Carson just took a bath tonight and dug these weird sunglasses out of somewhere (perhaps they were Tori's a long time ago?) I honestly have no idea where they came from but just had to take some pictures because he looked so silly.

Brown County

Ryan had to go to North Carolina for a few days...so Carson and I packed up and went to Brown County Thursday and Friday. We loaded up the car early Thursday morning and met my parents at The Last Resort, where they were camping in their RV. It was a hot couple of days, but Carson and I really enjoyed being outside and just taking a couple days to relax and have a good time. Here are some pictures from our trip (notice how Carson's nose is pretty much all better now):

Independence Day Wound...day after

Carson fell down one of the stairs outside last night and ended up face first on the concrete. There were a few tears but overall he took it like a champ!

4th of July

We had a fun 4th of July! A bunch of friends joined us for a backyard BBQ. It was fun watching the kiddos run around chasing each other. Carson and Carmela ended up with two big boo-boos but they didn't let that stop them from having fun. Here are some pictures from the night:

Sprinkler Fun

It was plain hot outside today so I decided to turn on the sprinkler and see if Carson would have fun playing in it. Sure enough, he got complete enjoyment out of getting soaked! Lilia and Peighton came outside to play too.
