Happy belated Valentine's day! We didn't do much with Carson to celebrate this year but he did get some nice clothes and toys from his grandparents. He's always so spoiled and we really appreciate it ;) Next year I think we'll do Valentines for his friends at "school".
Carson is still obsessed with trucks and any type of transportation. Whenever we see a truck he points and makes an engine sound, it's so cute. He also makes siren noises for fire trucks, police cars and ambulances. We have several books, puzzles and iPad apps that he cannot get enough of. Speaking of the iPad, it's probably one of Carson's favorite things. He knows how to turn it on and select which program he'd like to use. When I'm getting ready for work in the morning I sit him on our bed and let him do his thing. He even knows how to get back to the home screen and pick something else out. There are so many awesome educational games and books for him to use on it.
In addition to loving trucks he also loves animals. He knows almost every animal you can think of, you say the name and he'll point to the picture. He can also make numerous animal noises like cow, pig, cat, dog, monkey, rooster, snake, frog, elephant and lion/tiger/bear/dinosaur (those all come out the same, haha). We are still working on animal names, he doesn't say many of those but hearing him say whale is the cutest!!
Like everyone else, we are so ready for spring. I normally don't mind the winter but this year it stinks because Carson is much more active. He doesn't really care for the snow. We've gotten out a few times but he never wants to play in it, he just kicks it around and crushes it under his feet. On the days that it's really cold (like today, in the 20's) we try to make it to Twice the Fun (indoor gym/play center). We actually go there often, like once a week and it's the perfect place for Carson to burn off some energy!
Last weekend we went to the Boston Aquarium with my family and Carson had a great time. It was really packed, which was a bummer, so Trapper had to put Carson on his shoulders to see most tanks but he loved seeing the fish, turtles and sharks. He also got a stuffed seal to take home, thank you memere!
We are really enjoying our little family and sweet boy! He can certainly test our patience (he's discovered the word "no") but overall he is so loving! He likes to kiss and hug us, our dogs and even animals in books. When we went to visit our friends Courtney and Craig (Cameron's parents, Carson's BFF), who just had a baby girl and he was so loving to the baby! He got blankets to cover her up, kissed her head and would make the sign for baby (which is rocking your arms back and forth, like you would a baby). It's so awesome to see him be so nice to others but it's really the best when he's sweet to us. I LOVE when he looks up and wants a kiss or comes in for a hug and puts his head on my shoulder, it's to-die-for!
I also forgot to mention stickers. Carson LOVES stickers. He (most of the time) puts them on paper or his hands but every once and a while he finds a new spot for them, like his face! Fortunately we haven't had any end up on walls or furniture!
