what...

a week! Poor Dave was sick on his birthday but is much better now! In fact, so much better so we went to the Wild Animal Park yesterday. Had a great time! Was nice to be outside. We were able to see 3 baby elephants which were adorable...playing and grabbing onto each other's tails.

Was able to finish a scrapbook page that has been on my desk for awhile now. Felt good to do something creative and looking forward to doing more handy-crafty things in the near future.

baby update for mommy at 6 mos.
teething and waiting for the top teeth to poke through soon
loves to chew on daddy and mommy's fingers
can pull himself up while holding onto objects
almost crawling and can get to where ever he wants to be
can sit up by himself
gets so excited by making his panting noise and moving his legs
pushes his bumper pad down on his crib so he can look out through the rails of his crib...quite the sight when you walk in his room in the morning....makes me smile
loves eating rice cereal

happy...

birthday to carson's daddy (on Monday the 14th! And happy 1/2 birthday to Carson too!)

There are so many reason's why I love and appreciate my hubby and can't even begin to list them all here. Think I will have to tell him in person!

Been under the weather and wishing for more stay-at-home days! Will hopefully be able to share more photos and stuff soon as I'm better!

happy...

new year! Been trying to post here for the last couple of days and haven't had much luck...wonder if blogger has many users that have resolutions to post more thus the busy activity and being unable to post. Hoping this one works. Had a great time at Disney for New Year's Day...actually went to California Adventure. Will go to Disney next time since we bought annual passes. I know Carson won't remember it but he did have fun looking at everything and enjoyed being with our friends children too! Went on Heimlich's Chew Chew Train for his first ride. What a cute ride...in a cute little area called Flik's Fun Fair. Looking forward to what 2008 has to bring and seeing Carson grow and laugh and smile....xoxo

p.s. love the shirt carson is wearing in the "kicking it" shot with daddy. Was a gift from my brother and sweet future sis-in-law from Tokyo Hard Rock Cafe. Thanks Gary and Chihiro.

edited to add photos finally...
p.s. guess blogger still isn't letting me post pictures...so until then I'll go ahead and post this so you know all is well here. would love to hear if all is well with all of YOU! xoxo
