My Cup Runneth Over :)

God has truly filled my heart with such joy by blessing me with such a beautiful and wonderful little family. I couldn't have asked for a sweeter baby, a more loving husband, or crazier dogs! Thank you Lord and I pray that anyone who wants a little baby blessing will receive that gift, my cup has truly runneth over.

We have a 5 month old!

Carson turned 5 months old on Tuesday and it has been a month full of excitement for the Bertholf Family. This past month Carson has started a new daycare and Kyle has started a new job, lots of changes.
The beginning of October we got a call from the daycare center right across the street from our neighborhood (the one we've been on the list for since Dec.) with an open spot for Carson. We were a little torn to part ways with Mrs. Tracy but after a lot of thought we felt it was best for Carson and us. He started at the new center on the 17th. It took him a few days to get adjusted, but I believe now he is enjoying his new teachers and three new baby friends.
The second week of October Kyle got a call from a friend who had referred him to a man looking for a controller to help start his new company. The same day Kyle heard from his friend, the man called and asked Kyle to come meet him, I guessed he liked Kyle because he offered him the position right then and there. Long story short, he eventually took the job offer and he started his new job the 24th. The new company is called Red Back. He is really enjoying it and I am thrilled for him and at the fact that he is able to come home at a reasonable hour more often!
Watching Carson become a 5 month old has been so fun and exciting. He has learned how to roll from belly to back and back to belly so I have a feeling he'll really start going places! He has also started trying to sit up on his own. He is really enjoying hearing himself "talk." For almost a week he was waking around 5:30 a.m and just laying in his crib talking and giggling to himself. Kyle and I would wake up and giggle right along with him as we listened on the monitor.  It is so incredible to watch him learn new things!
He enjoys hanging out with his tiny pillow pet.

Sitting up all on his own!

Trick or Treating at Pi Phi with his pal Baby Brett. We both got our boys monkey costumes and didn't even know it!

On a side note, as some of you may know my Grandfather has been in and out of the hospital the last couple of months with complications from a back surgery. He is currently back in the hospital, please keep him and my Grandmother in your prayers!
Love you all
