We have finally gotten back to a semi-normal schedule since Karsen hit the growth spurt at 3.5 months, then spent that time in the hospital. Ugh. It took us FOR-EV-ER to get back to waking just one time per night. Thank goodness it is back because I was seriously so freakin tired! Of course, just as I get so excited...Karsen decides to wake twice last night for middle of the night feedings. Oh well...for now, I dont mind it because it is just once in the last few weeks...but if he starts this up again full time, I will be one unhappy lady...
Karsen celebrated his first Halloween on Friday!!! It was a good time, but I have to be honest, one of my least favorite days. Thank goodness for a friend who had a costume her son wore last year...otherwise, Karsen would have had NO costume. I wasnt too motivated to find him something. Luckily, Ive already got a costume for him for next year...also, from a friend. My mom went to pick him up from daycare on Friday afternoon, and she brought him to school so I could show him off. He was a big hit! After Bruce got home from work that day, we headed out for a nice long dinner away from the house, to avoid the trick-or-treaters. Maybe next year I will be in the mood to pass out candy, but not yet this year. After dinner, we ran across the street real quick to show the neighbors and she took a family picture of us while we were there. He was such a cute cow!
Karsen got to attend his first wedding last weekend! He did a great job during the ceremony but it was clear that the reception was his least favorite. More than anything, I could tell he was just so overwhelmed with all of the activity and noise. We spent about 30 minutes in the reception, then Bruce and I took turns with him out in the commons area of the hotel. Poor little dude. Oh well. It was fun dressing him up in a button down shirt. He looked real sharp!...without looking too overdressed.
Karsen has also started doing a much better job of sitting up on his own. The best is to see him start to tip over but he has learned to kind of catch himself! It is exciting times!!
Earlier this week we moved the straps up in his carseat and now they are high enough where the infant insert can be removed!!! He looks like such a big baby in the carseat now. It is hard to believe we started here and are now to this point!
Karsen really enjoys hanging out in the Bumbo in the mornings while Bruce and I pack our lunches and have breakfast. He is such a happy, smiley baby in the morning!!
