30.5

Look at that big belly! Funny thing is, I feel like a house but I know I'll be getting much bigger in the upcoming weeks. We have 9.5 weeks to go - which makes my head spin to think we'll have a new family member that soon. We can't wait to meet her!!!

Daddy's little helper

I'm not sure how much 'help' he actually was but he sure had fun!

Carson's Fishing Adventure

Yesterday Carson had his first fishing experience. There is a pond in our neighborhood and the boys went down to see if they could catch some fish. I just love this video - Carson is so sweet trying to get everything going.

He looks like a true fisherman....I see lots of fishing trips w/ daddy in the future!

Why?

This is Carson's new favorite word - apparently starting today. We all remember when our parents would say "because" or "because I said so"...well, we are there!

I have to admit, I may be to blame for this one. When he's talking to me, often times I ask him 'why' - just trying to get him to think and see if he can come up with an answer. Guess it back fired on me. Oh well...

Reading at night

Let me start by saying I really hope we do a good job of reading to the newest addition once she arrives but I've heard that goes away w/ the second one...we'll see.

Right now, we do a good job w/ Carson - we read a few books every night before we go to bed. And, as you can imagine, it's usually the same books again and again. The latest have been "The night before Christmas" and "Buzzy's big bedtime book". The other night Carson wanted to read Buzzy so we opened it up and he said, "Carson read." Umm, ok....go for it!

I sat back and he "read" the entire book to me! We've read it so many times that he has it memorized! It is so cute...and makes me realize he's growing up so quickly too. Sure makes me a proud mommy!
