Good Lord...here we are...almost a month has gone by without another update. Sheesh...I have some 'splainin to do...
About a month ago, we finally started feeding Karsen some solid foods. It has been an exciting and MESSY time! Of course, his favorite food seems to be avocado, but it is also the messiest. It always leads to bathtime but that is ok! He is having fun and getting to try some new flavors so I am ok with that.
In this picture above, we are out at the Yard House and he is enjoying some steamed carrots! He made quite a mess but his dad helped clean it up!
I have started looking at holidays through a different lens now that Karsen is around. I realize there are things I need to start doing to develop traditions with the little dude. One OBVIOUS tradition I wanted to implement was the yearly visit to Santa. Bruce's work organizes a Santa day and all we had to do was sign up for a time slot! It was super easy and even better that we didn't have to stand in line for hours on end. I especially liked how this Santa had a real white beard and not one of those fake ones. As you can tell, this was Karsen's least favorite visit. He was doing just fine until Bruce put him in Santa's lap...and then he started crying. It is the saddest looking face but it makes me giggle because it is just so cute! Hopefully next year goes a little more smoothly.
The pictures below are just some fun random times we have had around the house. In this first picture, we had just gotten done reading his two books before bedtime. He can occasionally get fussy in anticipation of bedtime, but the second we sit down and start reading, he calms right down and follows along. I love that he "gets" the bedtime routine! Check out those cheeks! Ugh...MELT. MY. HEART.
In this picture, we were just sitting on the floor playing with some toys. This kid already has way too many toys. The best part...toys have all kinds of lights and sounds, but his favorite toys are a ball and a stack of cups. Simple.
I just love this last picture because if it had sound with it, you would know that he was talking up a storm! This kid loves to talk. I cant wait to hear what he has to say when it actually makes sense! Looking at this picture one might think he is crawling, but he isn't quite there. He has all of the pieces, but hasn't quite put it all together yet. I am totally ok with that. I am still so comfortable setting him on the floor and expecting him to stay there. I know those days are almost gone.
