The one bit of advice I received most often before Carson was born was "They grow up way too fast, enjoy every moment". And boy was that the truth - one minute your praying for your epidural to kick in and the next thing you know your son is a toddler...a teenager...a college student...an ADULT! UGH - makes me sad to think of how fast time seems to fly by these days. But I truly do treasure every moment I get to spend with my little guy. I truly love the moments that I get to see him giggle in delight with a little tickle, a funny face or silly dance. No one ever told me what a fool i would make of myself just to see my baby smile! But it's worth it. And even when I am so sleep deprived that I think I will fall flat on my face, I still enjoy those tender moments with him if he happens to wake at night...rocking him back to sleep or comforting him when he is teething. No one will ever be able to explain the true love of a parent...you never truly know how deep it runs until you are a parent yourself. Makes you want to thank your mom and dad for giving you that same love.
So now that I got out my "sappy mom" moment...here's an update on Carson. He will be 6 months old on September 1...see - this is where the "time flies" bit came from in the above paragraph. He can sit up so good now and looks like he is starting to really WANT to crawl but I don't expect him to for another few weeks or maybe month? I dunno how to gauge all that - being that this is my first go-round of being a mom. But looks like he's trying.
As far as his food adventures...he's tried all the fruits and veggies - and so far the only thing our little chunky monkey did not like were the PEAS! His face was precious...he would take a bite of peas and then sit there with this look on his face "What the heck am I suppose to do with this - i sure as heck am NOT going to swallow them...". But luckily he didn't spit them out either...not sure where those peas went?? Ha.
I'll add more pics to the shutterfly link on the left at the end of the month!
