After eating his birthday breakfast at McDonald's. He ate every bite of his oatmeal! Please excuse the morning hair, we were in a hurry to have breakfast before Kyle went to work!
I waited till today to share all about his big birthday so I could also give you all the official doctor stats since today was our 1 year wellness check.
Carson is 30" long, weighs 21 lbs & 15 oz, and head circumference of 46". That puts him in the 50% for height, 40% for weight, and a little over the 50% for head size. Doctor says he looks great and is healthy!! He also got three shots and blood taken from his finger. He cried during the shots but the moment is was over so were his tears. I think he was the most upset about his finger, he held it and looked at it all the way to the car.
Mother's Day weekend Carson started taking three or four steps on his own and by the time his birthday rolled around he was able to go almost all the way across the room. Now this week he is walking everywhere!!! He is still taking a spill here and there but he is so proud and excited every time he makes it somewhere!

Everyone always says it goes by fast, and that is so true, even without kids, but I think you notice how fast life really is flying by when you have a little person to watch grow and change so much! Every month Carson grew and changed by leaps and bounds but I think this past months was one of his biggest changing months. In the past month he went from crawling everywhere to walking, from 6 to 7 teeth and the 8th one is almost out (and the doc pointed out a molar that is starting to make its way through the gums), "talking" more than ever, leaving the bottle behind and enjoying whole milk, eating almost everything in sight and hardly any baby food, moving up to the 1 year old daycare room, and becoming a true toddler. It was hard to see all these changes and know my baby isn't a baby anymore, but now that we are here in this phase I am excited to see all the wonderful things he is going to learn and do!
On June 2nd we held Carson's 1st Birthday Bash. It was a lot of fun. We kept it small so Kyle and I could make sure it was all about Carson! We had some of his good baby buddies over to the neighborhood clubhouse/pool and my mom, sister & brother-in-law, and grandparents. He got so many wonderful gifts and had fun splashing around in the water.
Carson's Cake.
He did more licking of his fingers than smashing into his cake.
As soon as the website will let me load more bday pics I will post them!
Now that the big party is out of the way, Carson and I will be enjoying these next couple of months together for summer vacation. Hopefully it will stop raining around here so we can do more outdoor activities together.
Kyle finally has gotten to hire some people to help him with all the accounting needs of his company so hopefully he will also get to enjoy some more outdoor activities!!
Tomorrow Kyle and I our celebrating our fifth year of marriage, I can't believe we have been married that long. It has been a fun and exciting first 5 years so I can only imagine the next 5 being just as entertaining!
