Carson is 9 months

Here's what he's been up to:

-He started crawling a few weeks ago. It's so fun! 

-He claps, waves, and gives high-5's. Every night I tell him to say goodnight to the fish and he'll frantically start waving his hand around at them. 

-He started eating real people food for every meal. He doesn't like baby food so much anymore. Because of this he started sleeping through the night! He was waking up once around 430am to nurse. But now he sleeps 12 straight hours! Woohoo! 

-He is down to 2 naps. He usually takes a nap at 9:30 and 2:00. It's so nice knowing when he'll be napping.

-He still doesn't like nursing too much. He usually nurses 1-3 times a day. He has gone a day or two with no nursing. And some times he'll take a bottle but most of the time he won't. And every time I nurse I get bit--hard! He's got 6 teeth in there! I had to stop scolding him for biting because he started crying every time after he latched--right when he was thinking about biting. I noticed he will nurse more now. So I have been trying to suck up this scrutinizing pain. Instead of yelling I wince and just switch sides or tell him he's done for now. No fun. Only 3 more months, right? Ugh. We'll see how long we can keep this up. 

He loves stuffed animals-especially Scout.

He went through this phase of hiding under furniture. This was before he was crawling and he thought he was so smart to get in those places.

We had a visit from Trevor and Karin. It was so good to see them!

We love putting hats on Carson. And we loved this one! He looks so cute.
