11 Months (a few days late)

My sweet little boy is almost one year old, which I find SO hard to believe! He actually turned 11 months old almost a week ago but I am just now getting around to posting our pictures! We've had a crazy week since getting home from Owensboro. We got back in town last Thursday night, ate a quick dinner and then sent James off to a softball game. About an hour later he calls telling me he's hurt himself. Oh geez... We thought it was just a high ankle sprain but Saturday morning it was quite colorful, so he went off to the doctor, only to discover he'd broken his fibula. Lovely. Yesterday we went to the orthopedic doctor and James got a walking boot. It sounds like it wont totally put a damper on our trip to the beach next week. He can take it off when he's just sitting around and stuff so he'll still get to be in the water, and hopefully chase around our little guy.

Yes, I did say chase, that would be because he is crawling faster than ever, and walking all over the place! He's pretty much got it all figured out! I am tired, so, so tired. I feel like all I do is chase him around and try to keep him out of things....haha

Check him out in action:


(And yes, that would be Carson running into the screen door at the end of the video... haha)

At 11 months Carson is more fun than EVER! His little personality is just so precious. Yesterday he started a new trick...Kisses! Quite possibly the sweetest thing EVER! Is there really anything better than an open mouth baby kiss? Nope :)

Look at all of that blonde hair! I actually ended up trimming it a week or so ago, just over his ears :)

Right now Carson is wearing mostly 12-18 month onesies and shirts, but his shorts...Yeah, they are all 6 month. What a skinny mini :) Right now we are sooooo excited to say that our last can of formula is almost gone! Woot Woot! We wanted Carson to be off the formula and drinking whole milk by our family vacay. He's doing great with the transition and next week will start drinking straight cow milk! Yay :)

I tried to get a picture of him walking in his little 11 month outfit but he wasn't having it. This is the beginnings of a little Carson fit. The next stage would be throwing the head back, and then if he's really mad he'll add a little arching of the back. Hilarious, and frustrating all at the same time.

Finally, our child will hold his own bottle. It's too cute when he just grabs it from our hands, throws his head back and chugs it. Today, we were on our way to Target and I was just able to give him his bottle in his car seat and he drank it on the way... love that!


One of Carson's favorite things to do right now is chase Chloe around the house. They have become quite the pair. She knows when to get out of his way (while he's walking, or pushing his walker), and when to stick close by his side (when he's eating, of course). I can't wait to see them running around the back yard together!

Best buddies :)
