Just even typing this has caused a faucet of tears to stream down my face.
We have been blessed with this beautiful, sweet boy in our lives. I feel forever grateful that God chose us, the imperfect parents, to raise two of the most adorable babies.
Carson Benjamin makes me laugh on a daily basis. He is completely okay with being ran over, stepped on and pushed around by his bigger sister, even laughing while she is giving him an abdominal Heimlich.
Eating is his favorite part of the day. Enjoying almost anything. His favorites are eggs, turkey sausage and ANY fruit, especially watermelon and oranges. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with a few snacks remain the routine and do not even try to forget that afternoon snack, everyone will know! We tried to start him on whole milk but was unsuccessful. The poor buddy had the worst diaper rash from all his watery poops. Right now he tolerates a mix of half whole milk and half formula, and still working our way up. We hope to talk with the doctor about this at his 1 year appointment.
Carson loves snuggling with any blanket on the ground. He crawls as fast as he can, lays his head on the blanket and smiles. The cutest thing. Even when he sees Ben or I, he will do the same thing, only laying his head on our feet, like "okay, I am here, you are allowed to hold me now."
Temper tantrums unfortunately have also started. When he gets frustrated or his feelings get hurt {such as closing any door leading outside without him being able to go outside} he throws his head back and rolls around the floor, all while crying/screaming. If Madison is not the guilty party {which she usually has something to do it, pushing, taking toys, hurting him accidentally} she will sing to him or give him the toy she is playing with. The sweetness melts my heart. She often runs to me, "Mommy, Carson crying" {as if the piercing sound was not enough}.
Playing in sister's room is a favorite of them both. Many times they will both go in her room and play for over an hour. Carson is crawling up onto her bed and then falls off head first, loving every minute while Madison is playing in the corner with her babies. Although the actual playing together {toys are too often stolen, from both sides} has started to increase more and more. Today, I was tucking Madison in for nap time and you had a complete melt down leaving her room. I know you wanted to hop into that bed with her and cuddle with the blankets. You two light up our lives.
Walking has begun! Every day the progression continues. Right before your birthday you felt the need to complete the last major baby step and now, you are getting more independent.
To my sweet boy,
You are my heart. You are the reason I smile a little bigger. You are my little man.
Mommy and Daddy love you.
