Daddy's naptime buddy

 Yesterday, I walked into the bedroom around 3 pm to find Andy and Carson taking an afternoon siesta.

Today, Peppi, LG and I went to Aberdeen, MS to visit my grandmother and Andy stayed home with Carson. I got this pic around 3 pm this afternoon. So precious! I think they enjoy taking their afternoon nap together! :)

Carson's 6 month stats...drum roll, please!

My BIG baby had his 6 month check up yesterday. He is a whopping 24 lbs 2 oz. He is 29.75 inches long and has a head circumference that is off the charts. Surprisingly, his weight is in the 95th percentile and by surprising I mean, I can't believe he is not off the charts in weight. However, he is off the charts for length. Dr. Lacy said he is the length of an average 1 year old. He is sitting up for a few seconds but Dr. Lacy said he is not surprised that with such a big head (which is what they try to balance when they sit up) that he is not really sitting up yet. Everything else checked out great!!! His head issue is looking so much better~praise God! His leg Hemangioma is clearing up too. He is still wheezing a bit though~Dr. Cunningham (LG's surgeon) said to put him on 1/3 tsp of Zyrtec in the morning and 1/3 tsp of Benadryl at night for a week and see how that works. Hopefully, all the drainage will clear up soon.

LG had her 2nd set of ear tubes put in yesterday and was doing fine about 30 minutes after it was over. You would never have known that she had anything done. She was bouncing all over the house. I think the teaspoon of Lortab they gave her made her high. :) She is fine though and hopefully we will have an infection free summer all around. 

Why...

...do I let Andy bathe my child? I think I've posted pics before of the crazy things he does to her hair. Like her hair isn't crazy enough as it is, she needs her daddy putting it in funny "do's?" :) They called me in the bathroom last night to see this:

He slicked it down into a "butt-cut" and pulled a curl down in front like The Fonz. Too much bath time fun!! :)

So sweet!

I went to a get together at a friend's house yesterday. Carson was getting kind of fussy because he was tired. I usually just lay him down on a bed with pillows around him if I'm at someone else's house and he sucks his fingers/cries himself to sleep. BUT Bradshaw wanted to "rock" him so she got him in her arms and rocked back and forth until he fell asleep (which only took about 2 minutes). So cute!!

Slumber Party

Peppi and LG were having a "slumber party" the other night, which consisted of LG lying in the bed with my mom right before bedtime, watching Tom & Jerry. They looked too cute~I had to capture the moment. :)

Counselor Appreciation!

Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week and the teachers were treated fabulously all week. The other two counselors and I asked why no one "appreciated" us during Counselor Appreciation Week. We were joking but the secretaries and some other co-workers (more friends than co-workers) heard us and put together a little luncheon for us yesterday!

Ms. Hady took this picture of us and had it posted around our office with a message that read, "You Rock! We appreciate all you do!"

These are all the wonderful people (with the exception of one :) who participated in putting this together for us! Thanks y'all! We love you too!!

Getting bigger too...

LG did a first today~her clock "turns green" at 6:45 am, signaling to her that it's OK to get out of her bed. Before 6:45 am when her clock is still yellow, she has to lay in her bed until it changes to green. In the past she has woken up and yelled for one of us if her clock is still yellow and she has to go potty. We would escort her to the bathroom and then she would pitch a fit when she had to get back in her bed until her clock turned green. A couple of times she has tee-teed in the bed because she wouldn't get up before her clock had changed. We have stressed to her that she can get up to go to the bathroom but that she must go back to bed.

This morning at 6:30 am, she got out of her bed, went potty by herself and then went back to her bed until her clocked turned green without having to be told. She is getting so big!

Another funny story, we let her watch Toy Story several months ago and she would ask to watch parts of it while she was eating or when she had rest time. I have never seen it before but it's a children's movie/cartoon so I thought it would be fine. One day her teacher told me that LG told one of her friends that she was going to shoot him. I was mortified! I told the teacher that we don't talk about those kinds of things in our house and that I couldn't imagine where she got that from. When we got out to the car, I asked LG where she heard that from and she replied, "Buzz and Woody say it." Well, that was it for Toy Story. I told her she could not watch it because she was not big enough yet, that it was for older kids. She has been asking me everyday if she is "big enough" yet to watch Buzz and Woody. She wanted to wash herself and her hair last night in the bathtub and told my mom she was sorry that she could not wash her but that she had to get bigger so she could watch Buzz and Woody!!! The mind of a 3 year old is so precious!!
