Bunny Wunny X 2

As recommended by Grammy and many other friends, we purchased a second "Bunny Wunny" to have on hand in the event that Bunny Wunny #1 is unable to be located. Instead of sticking Bunny Wunny #2 in the closet until needed (as my mother did with the "Fake Paddington Bear" which I could sniff out in an instant), I decided to interchange the two snuggle buddies, so that they both become warn and loved. I think this plan my have backfired on me however; as instead of switching back and forth, we ended up with this scenario:

First Swing!

Do you think he liked it?! 

Fun with Dean in RI!

Ryan and I were invited to his boss's daughter's wedding in Newport, RI a few weekends ago. Our amazing friends, Stephanie and Slade (and their 8 month old baby, Dean!), agreed to travel to RI with us to watch Carson while we were at the wedding. We ended up finding a beach house for the weekend, and all had a blast! Here are some fun shots from Carson and Dean's awesome RI adventure:

 Watching the Red Sox!

French Toast by the Sea!

Stephanie and I didn't even plan

the matching pajama outfits! So cute!

They play so well together!

 

I scored this double stroller for $20 at a yard sale!

We also were excited to meet up with our old friend, Jay Massie, 

who is currently in the Navy, stationed in Newport!

Bubble Bath Fun

Big Boy Car Seat!

We recently made the switch from infant seat to toddler seat as Carson is officially too long for his current car seat. We decided to go with the Britax Boulevard, which is somewhat the "Cadillac of Carseats". This brand came with great recommendations from close friends, so we splurged and got the safest option that would fit in our car. Carson is less than thrilled with the switch, and cries every time we strap him in...hopefully he will get used to it soon!

Brusha Brusha Brusha!

Now that Carson has two teeth (or "toofers" as we are calling them these days!) our pediatrician has recommended that we start brushing his teeth! Apparently the key to good dental hygiene is starting babies early, getting them used to the process. We have begun integrating it into Carson's bedtime routine...he seems mildly interested in it...
