Why do boys.....

Why do boys put everything in their mouths excepts vegetables???

Carson loves to play outside, but I have to watch him very close. He puts everything in his mouth. He was playing in his sand box and put a handful of sand in his mouth. It didn't say anything because I thought he wouldn't like the way it tasted and wouldn't do it again. I was wrong! He did it 2 more times. I finally had to tell him to stop. When we go to the playground, he likes to put the mulch in his mouth. Dirt, grass, leaves, flowers....he likes them all!

Now green vegetables on the other hand, he spits out! He liked the baby food green beans and peas and would eat real green beans and peas for a while. But now he won't eat them! I think once he tried other foods, he decided the green beans and peas didn't taste as good as he remembered.

Out for a Walk

I love my double stroller! I looked at several, but liked this one because it was a side by side and I could fit Shane's carrier in it. The best thing about it is that it only weighs 14 pounds! Carson loves going for walks in the stroller. I have been trying to get out for a walk when the weather is nice.

Shane

Shane is getting so big! I don't think he looks like a newborn anymore. He is filling out his 3 month clothes. I think he will be in 3-6 month clothes in another week or two.





I have to say that I really love the Swaddle Me wraps. They worked really well to calm Carson down and help him sleep. We tried them when we first brought Shane home, but they didn't seem to help him sleep so I stopped using them. He had only been sleeping 3 hours at night so I decided to try swaddling him and see if it made a difference. He slept 5 hours last night and 6 hours the night before! He has also been waking up crying during his naps, but since I started swaddling him he will wake up, make a few noises, then go back to sleep. He is such a good baby!





Shane has started smiling! He likes to lay on the floor under the fan and smile. He also smiles when he looks at the letters above his changing table.

Carson

Carson has started saying lots of words. If I ask him to say something, he will try his best. Most of the words are unrecognizable, but there are a few words he says well. He loves to say dog when he see a dog, even if it is on TV. He tries to say Shane and it is adorable! Banana is another word he says well.








He loves to play outside in his sandbox. He goes to the back door and says side when he wants to go and play. He grabs handfuls of sand and throws them on the ground. He ends up being cover from head to toe in sand!

Carson loves bath time! If you ask if he wants a bath, he will say bath. He likes to let the water out, but that doesn't mean he wants to get out of the tub.

Carson loves his daddy! He gets so excited when Tommy comes home. They wrestle and read books together, two of Carson's favorite things.
