Look Who's Walking...

And he's off...

Our sweet Carson is turning ONE a week from today! There is a fine line between bragging and updating...with Carson's birthday coming up I wanted to list just a few of the things he has been doing...I'll call it updating as we are soo proud of our son! He has been taking steps for a few weeks but I think now we can say he is officially "walking"...he prefers to walk over crawling. Now that he can walk he wants to be practicing his new skill in the backyard where Gavin and Collin play, he always wants to be in the backyard..crying at the door to go out! He is getting so verbal and understanding so much. Each day I am suprised at something that he does or says and I realize how much he picks up from us all. Some of his favorite words right now are...Mama, Dada, Papa, Ball and The Ball, Shhh, Mimi, Hooray, Whats That??, duck, eyes, woof, nanas, num num, drink and making car noises while he pushes a car around...vrrmm. He is in love with dogs and woof's at everything that he thinks could possibly be a dog. Today at Target he was woofing persistently, after looking all around I finally noticed he was looking up at a target sign with their dog logo on it....I never doubt him. Whenever there is music on he is the first to make sure we all notice, he says "Dance, Dance, Dance" as he flales his arms around and tries to snap his fingers. He loves to play peek a boo and is obsessed with BALLS or anything in a circular shape that resembles a ball. He loves the produce section because everything looks like a ball and he loves Bananas. If the bananas go in the cart and he doesn't get one...he makes sure I am aware that he wants one...right that minute! He is so much fun and every day learning something new. He loves his 2 older brothers and wants to do everything that they do. We can't believe he is going to be One, but we really do feel that we have enjoyed every moment this year and taken time to savor the small things that are important in life.
