Carson is officially a year old and I cannot believe it! We had a wonderful birthday party for him on Sunday, which was also Father's Day. We invited family and friends over for a BBQ and were lucky to have beautiful weather. Carson woke up Saturday morning with a fever and was sick all day. He was still sick into Sunday but did great for his party! I know he has some new teeth coming in but I also think he picked up a cold/virus (probably from daycare) because he has a pretty yucky nose! I was able to bribe him with popsicles to keep him happy and was sure he had plenty of tylenol.
Surprisingly he wasn't a big fan of his cake! He poked at it and spit out whatever we put in his mouth. I don't know if he genuinely didn't like it (he's never had cake before) or if it was because he wasn't feeling well. Either way, it was funny to watch his expressions and play around with the frosting.
He loves all of his presents and we thank everyone for coming, it was a great day.
Now that the weather is nice we've been spending a lot of time outside. We filled up his little pool and he loves playing in it. He also loves to sit outside on a blanket and play with his beach toys. Carson is still learning to walk on his own. His does fine holding onto one of my hands but as soon as he realizes he has no support he plops right now. Trapper and I have been trying to get him to walk back and forth between us, showing him that he can take a step on his own. Since he's already so mobile (he's a speed crawler) I'm eager for him to walk because that will make things easier on me. I can't wait to take him to the playground and even the beach. It's a little harder to go to certain places when he's still crawling.
Only 3 more weeks until we're at the beach for a whole week! I can't wait to have our first vacation with Carson. I'll be sure to update! Happy summer!!
