BATHTIME!

We used to get away with 2-3 baths a week, but since the introduction of self-feeding and sunscreen, we find our selves having bath nights almost daily! Special thanks to Carson's friend, Mackenna, for teaching him to splash! This is pretty much what happens for about 10 minutes straight during bath time:

A Day at the Beach!

Carson enjoyed a trip to the beach with

his friends, Grace and Mackenna!

The one and only time Carson's hat remained on...

Good thing he didn't get sunburned! The hat will soon be off...

First ice cream from an ice cream truck!

Summer right of passage!

He looks like someone in this pic...

I think maybe Grampa Moose when he was a baby!

Sand is so yummy!

Maybe seaweed is too?

Not so much...

Carson loved Grace's red wagon!

He kept trying to reach out for Grace!

Carson could dig for hours...

Fun in the tidal pools with Carson's buddy, Mac!

Maybe I will like it this time?

Seaweed is SO FUN! :)

Love this pic...

The only time all 3 of them were in the same place at the same time!

A TOOTH! A TOOTH!

Carson woke up this morning with a tooth! Its the bottom middle left tooth...Mommy was so excited! Daddy doesn't quite believe its there, as you can't see it, only feel it.

Since May...I have been saying "He is going to get a tooth any day now!" So I am excited to say that today its for real!!!

He was very cranky last night, and super clingy to Ryan. He wanted nothing to do with me feeding him, bathing him, or giving him his last bottle. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess!

He slept wonderfully last night, as we had to wake him up at 7:40 AM for his 7:45 AM departure for daycare...we are crossing our fingers that the next few teeth go just as smoothly!

Here is some adorable pre-tooth drool...

Loungin' like a man already...

Ok now...who taught Carson how to spit??

It was just sooooooooo funny to Carson!

HIGGINS LAKE!

Over 4th of July weekend, Carson, Susie, and Ryan traveled to Higgins Lake in Michigan. We had a wonderful time introducing Carson to all of his cousins!

Carson met his great-grandmother "Nan" for the first time!

Nan could not believe that her own daughter, Patty, was a grandmother!

Uncle Sam, Aunt Kristen, and Nan

Not sure who is more silly...

...Aunt Kristen or Daddy?

First boat ride!

Daddy attempted to swim across the lake!

Carson was not a big fan of his life jacket...

All of that fresh air made Carson a sleepy boy!

So sleepy that he napped on the water!

Now this is what I call vacation!

So peaceful...

Carson loved spending time with Aunt Kristen. She treasures these moments as she is currently swamped in graduate school!

That's one patriotic baby! Who just ate a yummy dinner!

Carson and his first cousins once removed!

Twins, Alex and Adam, are so excited to be "big cousins"!

Mommy and baby had a blast at the lake together!

It was surreal to be there with my own child!

Carson's first Meyer Family bingo game!

Way to carry on the tradition! Mommy played bingo at this age too!

What a great vacation with family! So much fun to see Grammy, Grampa Moose, Aunt Kristen, Uncle Sam, and the rest of the Meyer crew!

Looking forward to spending time with the Curtis side of the family over Labor Day!

A Visit From Friends!

We were very excited to have Sully, Alicia, Amanda, and Joe come and visit us for a weekend, all the way from Maryland! We went into Boston, up to York, ME, and had a blast!
