Halloween, Thanksgiving & Almost Christmas!

It's been a while since I've made a new post so let's start with Halloween! This was the first year we put Carson in a costume and it was so cute! We dressed him up like a shark and got some really good pictures. Our original plan was to take him trick-or-treating but by the time that rolled around he was too tired. He only lasted in his costume for a few minutes before he started whining and pulling at it. Oh well, at least we got some pictures!

Now on to Thanksgiving...

This year we went to my dad's the weekend prior and had an awesome dinner of loster and steak! On Thanksgiving day we went to my aunt's house (where we go every year) and celebrated with all my extended family. Carson had turkey and mashed potatoes, not to mention cranberry sauce which he loved and shoveled into his mouth with his hands.

 I can't believe Christmas is 2 weeks away! I have no idea where the time has gone. Carson will be 18 months next weekend, crazy! He is the best little guy, such an easy baby and so animated! He has us constantly laughing. He is OBSESSED with trucks right now, everything is a truck. He was saying the word car but now all cars are trucks so we're working on the difference. The worst part is that he can't say truck so it comes out like "buck" or the other word, that rhymes with truck but starts with an "F". Most people think it's quite humerous, except me, like the times we're out to eat and he shouts the F-word while looking through his truck book.
In addition to trucks we're still doing a lot of reading. I can't even count the number of books we can go through in a day. Carson is also starting to like coloring. He will sit for a few minutes and draw on paper, daycare says that he loves to make projects. I've also noticed that Carson is content for a while playing alone. He takes out all his animals and makes their noises or will drive his cars along the couch.
It's starting to get realllly cold out and I hoping that we get some snow. Carson was too young to play in the snow last year but this year we have his snow pants hanging in the closet, ready to go! I'm really excited for Christmas. I can't wait to see Carson open his presents! I think he's going to love Christmas this year.
