Shots, Monkey Bizness...and other things.

Carson had his 16 month checkup this past week. He had lost a little bit of weight cause he's been runnin around, and walkin, so that was ok. He weighs about 26lbs. I remember I weighed him myself right before he turned 1, and he was almost 30lbs. I think the doc said he's 33inc long. He will be tall and stalky. Which is just perfect. His doc said to bring him back in about a month to look at his ears again, cause they looked really stuffy from the sickness he's had. He had 4 shots;2 in each thigh. He DID NOT enjoy that. He got the H1N1 too. So hopefully he wont ever get the swine flu. I dont know what I would do if he got sick that bad. Poor babes. Other than that, he is a perfect little boy.

Today, me and Krystal are taking the boys to Monkey Bizness to play around and go down some slides, it should be some real fun. Carson hasnt been there, and so I know he will just be thrilled to see this place.

Finally got a bed, its beautiful!!!! I just have to find a top mattress for it, so I dont have to sleep on the box spring. It's kinda hard. I think its more uncomfortable than the floor was. :) Or maybe the same. :)

Well as soon as we get back from all of our running around today, I will post some pictures of us from the "BIG PLAY ROOM"!!!

Changes...

Think its time to update this. I think the last time you heard from me and munchkin boy was around his 1st Birthday party. So many changes have occurred since then. Mostly good. I will try to explain our absence from bloggerworld in as much detail as I can remember. So sit back, cause this is one looong story.
First of all, I might say that it's given me such joy to watch Carson grow and learn everyday. His first birthday party was the most funnest party I've been to. I stopped to think back to the day he was born, and how fragile he was and how careful i had to be, and the few sleepless nights I had, but really it was all preparation for how he is today. And let me tell you, there's nothing quite like it. I would gladly do it all over again. He wasn't walking yet at his birthday. He was talking alot but not quite how he talks to me now. Now he walks, and walks real fast. Sometimes he gets going so fast, it looks like he's running, then he ends up tripping over himself and its cute to see him get up and do it again w/ a huge grin on his face.

Let's see, we got our own quaint little place in the country. I was very fortunate to find such an awesome little house for him and I. It's small, but oh so perfect for C and I. I will DEFINITELYpost some pictures. We just recently got a couch so its not empty looking anymore. Now I'm just looking for a nice bed. Big enough for C and I when he sleeps with me. I'm trying to limit the amount of those nights. TRUST ME! I guess I forgot to mention that I wouldn't have been able to get this little place w/o getting a job first. I actually started back in Nov 2009. November, 11th 2009 to be exact. I got a temporary position at Blue Cross. I enjoy it so very much. I'm hoping they keep me on perm.I get paid good, schedule is awesome, and I know the benefits will be good as well. We will see what happens.

Lets see, we had a good Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don't have too many pictures. We were just to busy feeding our faces with yummy turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, vegi's, and sweet potatoes. Which are a favorite of C's and mine. He got some cool presents for Christmas. Toys, clothes, books. It was a joy to spend the important holidays with him.

I guess that brings us to more recent days now. He has been sorta sick lately. He was real sick then he got better, and now I think part of it has decided to hang around for a lil while longer. He had a temp of 104.5 was the highest it got. Thats scary stuff. He woulndt eat or anything. Poor baby, he just wanted to snuggle all day in his blankie. I DEF gave into that w/o thinking twice. He has a crappy cough. Then we went to see a doctor and he did a urine test, and it was so sad that I had to leave the room for that. I felt bad for leaving my honey buns but I knew the nurses were taking good care of him. As of writing this, he still has a croupy cough, but he is back to eating like there is no tomor. He's running and playing a lot. All good signs.

We had some pictures done by a lovely girl, who did a great job. I should have those in a few days. Carson didn't like to sit and pose so hopefully she got some of him just being a boy and being silly. We went outside and took some, he just wanted to run around and dodge us. So we will be doing another photoshoot in the next week or two. This time we will be going to a park or a playground. We did get one of him w/ no shirt on wearing a tie and a hat sitting on an old briefcase. That one will DEFINITELY be cute. He's cute anyway. :)

Well this momma is going to partake in a mom/sisters/daughters weekend March 19th-21st. Going to Portland to see my sisters. I'm driving up their w/ my momma. Friday night were going to a creep show. It's actually an underground tour of the city. It's also rumored to be haunted. Then, on Saturday were going to a dance team competition. Were also going to get matching tattoes. I know I am getting one of the date on the top of my foot. Just havent thought of a cool design yet. I think the date is important. It's not too often that we get to spend this kind of time w/ each other so I think doing something to symbolize our time together is important. Why not permanent ink, eh??!?! :)

Well I think this update is finished, until there is another story to be told.....stay tuned...
