Wubba What?!

Carson loves his Wubbanub pacifier.  I had seen these before and thought they were a little weird.  Some of my friends raved about them so I decided to try one out (they're only $12 on Amazon)!  Carson is OBSESSED.  He can hold onto "Wubbs" (creative name, huh?) and the feet are weighed slightly so the paci won't fall off his chest. 

Here is Mommy's homemade version of his Wubbanub...just as cool, right?!

Please note: I was not compensated in any way for this post.  We just really like the Wubbanub! :)

Carson Update!

I know I've been horrible with updating but I feel so guilty blogging instead of spending time with my adorable son!  Right now he's napping so this is going to be mostly a picture post.  (Isn't that the type that we all love anyway?!)

The last time I updated was Father's Day (awful blogger award right here).  Here are a few pics from Father's Day and a few others to show you what Carson has been up to!

Carson, Grandpa, Daddy

Daddy, Carson, Great Grandpa!

Carson turned 1 month old (June 18th)!

We've been on playdates with Hallie:

We read stories every night:

We practice tummy time...Carson loves being on his tummy but doesn't like to work too long :)

Carson has started to grab at the things on his playmat (and in his bouncer), he loves it!

Carson also likes to grab anything that gets within his reach (like Mommy's hair and Daddy's glasses)!

Carson loves making little bubbles lately :)

Bathtime is his FAVORITE!

We celebrated Carson's first holiday (besides Memorial Day)!

Carson loves his Grammy!

Aunt Shannon is so fun, she's going to be Carson's Godmother!

Carson and Mommy went to a "Meet the Baby" shower with our family!

Don't worry, I didn't forget about Chip & Dixie!  They love Carson and didn't have any problems with being jealous or anything!  Here they are after their haircut last week:

Such great fur siblings :)

Carson has started to coo (adorable) and SMILE within the past couple weeks as well.  So fun :)

I can't believe he'll be 2 months old tomorrow!! 

Happy Father's Day!

I hope everyone has a great Father's Day!  Did you forget to get a gift?  Oh, no!

I found this idea on Pinterest a while ago and knew I had to do it.  I love how it turned out!  Here is the original pin:

Here is my version:

I made this collage so we could have a digital version but I actually printed each picture and bought a 3-slot frame to give to Nick.  Cost of project = cheap!  The D and A were $2.99 each at JoAnn's and the frame was about $7 at Kohls.  We already had a plain white onesie and the "backdrop" is just a blue blanket!

I also bought him a pair of shoes he's been wanting for a while.  They're *so* weird but he has wanted them forever! 

What did you all get the fathers in your life for this special holiday??

Carson's 3rd Week!

I can't believe Carson is almost a month old already!  Here is a recap of our 3rd week (first week without Daddy home with us)!

We went to the park and walked for miles...Carson slept almost the whole time!

Carson had a playdate with baby Hallie! 

He got pretty cozy on that pink playmat..haha!

Grammy came to visit and brought a summer reading club t-shirt for Carson!

We did more tummy time!

Carson chilled out with Daddy when he got home from work!

Carson took lots of naps in his snugabunny rock'n'play (standard)!

We got Carson a "bath blanket" and he actually likes baths now!

3 week photo shoot...Carson is getting so long!

Carson's 2nd Week!

The 2nd week was Nick's last week home with us.  I was so thankful he was able to take 2 whole weeks off to spend with our new little family!!  Here is how we spent our week...

Carson started using his paci...he loves it but isn't dependent on it (yet....)!

We started doing tummy time after Carson's cord fell off!

Carson is very alert!!

I took Carson to my fav store - Target, duh!  (He loved it.)

 Carson got his first big boy bath after his cord fell off!  He wasn't a huge fan :) 

After bath cuddles :)

We celebrated Memorial Day...Carson's first holiday!

Carson got a sun tent so we can safely play outside this summer!

We had our 2 week photo shoot...Carson wasn't thrilled this week!
