Christmas 2009

Christmas is so much funner with little kids! I loved having Carson around to enjoy the holiday season with. He had fun opening his presents even though he would tare a tiny piece at a time and examine each one. I think he enjoyed the wrapping paper more then his actual presents.

Here are some of the activities that we did up in Utah:

Mickelson Family Christmas party (Brad's side) Carson was baby Jesus!

We went to Color me Mine and I painted a ceramic ornament for Carsons 1st Christmas.
Saw the lights at Layton Park
Had the Clark family pictures taken

Other activities included pedicure (just me), a couples message, Brad went skiing (only once poor guy the snow at Beaver was awful), went to an Aggies game, saw a couple of movies, went bowling, visited with friends, rang in the new year, and stopped in Vegas on the way home.

Visiting with family is always a treat and I felt bad that we had to leave just when Carson was starting to get to know everyone.

Time sure does fly! I can't believe Carson is already 9 months old! November just flew by, but I blame that on all the traveling we've been doing.

So whats new with Carson? Well, he loves to go to the park and swing. The weather is so beautiful and it is so nice to have a park within walking distance, but he does not like the slides, probably still a little too young for them.

(don't worry they were baby slides)
Carson can now climb a full flight of stairs. I still haven't bought a baby gate yet so I really have to keep my eye on him. If I turn my back on him, even for a second, he is getting into things he shouldn't. The other day while putting up our Christmas decorations Carson got into our pantry and found the sugar. It was everywhere. Luckily he grabbed the bag that was almost gone because it could have been a lot worse.
He is also a super fast crawler now. I think I've said this before, but he loves entertainment centers, and will start to crawl over to them, stop, look at Brad, and I and then bolt as fast as he can before we can get to him.

Apparently Carson is bi-lingual, don't ask me how he learned it because I don't speak spanish, but he can say jugo (juice) and hola (hello).

Carsons top tooth finally came through. It took a whole month for that bud to finally poke through the gums, and the one next to it is now struggling as well to come through.

He is so much fun to play with and everyone who meets him just adores him. I just love my little boy!
