photoshoot...

mentioned in an earlier post this month that we took Carson to one of my favorite little boutiques as they offered a photo shoot for wee ones (sitting fee was complimentary). Well..I really liked all of the photos and asked if we could buy all of the photos on a CD...and the rest is history...so here are just a few. Loved Alex...you can see more of her work here! Thanks again sweet Alex...we love them all! xoxo

happy...

christmas! Is it already here? Hard to believe that we are celebrating Carson's first Christmas today. He's sleeping and we will open gifts when he wakes up. Speaking of sleeping...that's what he did when we took him to see Santa...and what a great santa he was...didn't even prompt santa to make the "shhh...baby sleeping" sound and pose. Love it. Will cherish this one forever...my sweet, sweet baby boy! Hope you have as happy of a Christmas as Carson's mommy and daddy will have today! xoxo

uneventful weekend...

for most but for a new mommy of course every moment seems unforgettable. Did go to one of my favorite children's boutique for a complimentary photoshoot. Excited to see what will come out of the fun times we had with Carson through the lens of this photographer. On the way there, he fell asleep and I caught the photo above....not the best photo but one that melts my heart to know that it wasn't a planned photo just one that I wanted since my sweet boy decided to put his hand in mommy's before drifting off for a little nap. be still my heart!

notes for mommy-
at 4 months and 3/4 he is 15 lbs. 11 oz.
on 12/6 grammie discovered his first teeth poking through...daddy calls them his little "pokers"
enjoys his walker...scoots backwards
love seeing how ticklish he is...which creates some fun belly laughs

woweee....

what an amazing day we (my mom and i) had yesterday! Took a trip to Roger's Gardens to check out the new holiday decorations. It was even more amazing than I remember. Can't wait to go back at night to see all the beautifully decorated trees with the lights on. Carson enjoyed being all bundled up close to mommy since it was pretty chilly.

We then went to South Coast Plaza for some shopping...mostly window shopping....which was just as much fun! We went into great new store filled with yummy smelly things called "Fresh". Want to go back and get a soap...love the pretty packaging.

more pictures from our fun day coming soon on my mom's blog.
