Carson: Tooth Watch #1

Brace yourself! I hope you are sitting down — well, of course you are since you are at your computer — Anyway, Carson finally got his first tooth!!!

HAPPY DANCE

At 1 year, 1 month and 4 weeks old, he FINALLY got his first tooth. He was only one week shy of breaking our pedi’s record.

The tooth (bottom right) has broken through the gums and I can feel it clearly with my finger. If he is anything like Kate, this tooth will play hide and seek with his swollen gums for a few days before making it’s appearance for good.

And he hasn’t been crabby at all, and has been sleeping through the night for 2 months now. I am thankful that he seems to be handling teething better than his sister.

Photos From San Antonio

I didn’t take many photos from our weekend in San Antonio, and even less of Mr. Carson. Carson spent the majority of his weekend watching the contractors work on my grandparents’ house (soon to be purchased by my Uncle Mike). We literally could not pull him away from the action.

Look at Lil Miss Helper! Yes, Miss Kate took it upon herself to unpack my suitcase in the middle of the living room, and then climb inside and try to open a jar of baby food. Kate is going through an “unpacking” phase right now…

Here she is “unpacking” the paper stuffing of a new purse. Isn’t she helpful?

Once she got bored with that, she came after me. Climbing on me never gets old for the twins.

This photo probably won’t mean much unless you are family. This is Papa’s recliner. Yes, it screams 70s, but it has sentimental value to us. For as long as I can remember, this burnt orange recliner was in the den. Papa would sit in it after work and watch is investment show on PBS. I have dozens of photos of me at the same age as the twins sitting in this very chair. So, before it’s sold in the estate sale next month (or given to Goodwill), I wanted one photo of my babies in Papa’s chair.

Two weeks after Easter and I finally find the silly bunny ears! Oh well. I feel a little bit bad that I accused Mark to hiding them to avoid another embarrassing photo session (like on St. Patrick’s Day). It turns out that they were hiding under the seat in the car.
