Carson 13 Months

Carson just had his well baby check and his growth has tapered off quite a bit. He weighs 23 lbs 12 oz. (in the 54th percentile) and is 30.8 inches long (64th percentile). We decided it was time for him to get a big boy hair cut, so daddy took him to the back porch and gave him a No. 3 Buzz. (Yep! I cried). I just loved his long blonde beautiful hair, and he looks so much older to me now.

Carson is also very advanced when it comes to his physical development. He climbs everything, runs, and loves to make messes. His verbal development isn't quite where his sisters were at 13 months old. If I remember correctly, I think they were actually saying a few words at their first birthday. Carson still just says da-da alot and mmmmmmm (which means mom and food), he also waves bye-bye, and says "nigh nigh", which I think is night night. He also shakes his head "NO" but thinks when an adult says no, it is a game and he just laughs and keeps being naughty. He also loves to listen to music and bounce to the beat. Recently, he has shown an interest in cars and balls.

Carson is always looking for a small space to hide in.

Fall Family Pictures

Alyona Oborn took our family pictures when my parents came into town right after they got off of their mission. I am very pleased with the pictures! I am so blessed to have the family that I have. We were also able to sneak in Carson's 1 year old pictures as well. Now, the hard part is deciding what I want to order.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
