Catch Up

I've been meaning to post something for a while....so, now it is going to be a jumble of random stuff.  Carson had his first Easter, I think he liked what the Easter Bunny got him, he seemed to really like his soccer ball!  He loves to kick that thing, well and everything else, maybe we have a soccer player on our hands!  I will post a video as  soon as I can, it's so funny how excited he gets when kicking that thing!

We just had Carson's 9 month check up.  It looks like he is 20 lbs, which is in the 45th percentile.  He is 29 inches long, which is in the 90th percentile, and his head is 18 inches, which is the 90th percentile.  I thought his head wasn't as big as it used to be, but I guess I was wrong.  At least the doctor tells me it's because he is so smart!

Hopefully this week we will be moving into our new house!  Yes, I said a new house!  We are so excited that we will finally have a place of our own.  We definitely waited a long time to get this house to go through!  We had to wait seven months, and we almost bought something else because we thought it wasn't ever going to happen.  Lets just say I hate short sales, they definitely aren't short!!  Even though we waited forever we are so excited!!  I'm so excited to get all my stuff back which has been in storage for a year now.  I don't even think I remember what we own anymore, maybe it will feel like it's Christmas when opening all the boxes...yeah, probably not, isn't unpacking fun!

So, this weekend was my first Mothers Day!!  I truly feel blessed that I get to experience this role in my life, and I wouldn't have gotten to do this without our beautiful birth mother.  We got to see her this last Saturday on Birth Mothers Day.  I'm so glad that we got to spend time with her and that she got to see Carson.  He is a lucky boy to have her in his life!  I'm also thankful for my mom and mother-in-law.  They are such wonderful examples of how a mother should be.  This year I took some pictures of Carson to give to them, I think they turned out pretty good.  It has been a while since I've gotten to go out and take pictures.  I forgot how much I love it.
