Best Buddies!

Carsen and Brecklyn are best little buddies! Carsen is 6 weeks older than Brecklyn and they have been pretty unseperable ever since. Brecklyn just moved about an hour and a half away, and from being right across the street from us for the last 2 years and being friends for about 3 years, we miss Tiff, Whit and Brecklyn so much but are so so excited for them with their new job and house and life :) Here are some pictures of Carsen and Brecklyn just being buddies! So cute!!
They love to share everything, chase each other around, talk their own little language to each other, dance to music, swim wether it is in the tub or the pool they love swimmin! They play so well together, teach each other things, get into trouble together and wave to each other and give each other hugs all the time. They definitely know who each other are!







we were trying to pack up the house for the move and this kept them contained for a few minutes :)


I love that little monkey crawl!!

11 Months!

I have to hurry up and get his 11 month one on here before his birthday!
Carsen was 11 months on july 10th. I can't believe how fast time goes! Everyone always said that to me before I had him and that they grow up so fast! It is SO TRUE! I don't think a year has ever gone by so fast in my entire life! Carsen has been learning so many things this last month and is growing like crazy!! He is getting so tall now that he can reach things on the edge of the bathroom counter. AHHH! Oh... another thing that happened last month that I forgot to write about is that Carsen loves to sit in the sink in the bathroom in front of the mirror while I am getting ready. One of those days I saw that he was grabbing at a hair that had gotten in his mouth so I just hurried and set my flat iron down (which I always make sure that I put it on the complete opposite side of the counter.) This time I set it down without thinking and he is so fast now that he grabbed it and burnt 2 of his little fingers. I felt terrible!! Poor boy! Luckily everything healed up great!!

Carsen also got his first haircut (thanks Miss.) Pics on that to come!!! Hilarious!
It is such an amazing experience to watch him learn new things everyday. We am so blessed to have him in our family.
I love how he is happy almost all the time!! He is so funny and laughs at himself when we laugh.

I Love my boys!!!!!

Carsen found the toilet paper!

Post-its

The other day Carsen found our post it holder. When you pull one out another pops up. He thought this was really cool and for some reason he loves to chew on paper of any form! Funny boy!!
These pictures crack me up because he wants to chew on the paper but is still unsure about it after he gets it in his mouth.

He doesn't look guilty at all right?!?! :)

Cute cousins!
