3 Months Old!

Andrew turned three months old on October 30th! He is a growing happy boy.  


Here are some other cute pictures of our little guy. 

Crazy hair baby! 

We caught a laugh on camera! 


We have been looking for a good spot to take some family pictures now that the last ones we took at the family reunion are obsolete. Here are some pictures from one area we went

The water was lots higher than it was in past months

The entire area was covered in frost and looked so cool!

It's such a blessing having our little guy and we are excited to see so many family members over the next couple of months!

When September Ends

As Andrew grows, it is fun to see his personality emerge more and more.  He is a very happy baby and is now trying to communicate with us through coos and gurgle giggles.  We can't get enough of his sweet gummy smile! We also try to get his little laughs on video... but it seems every time we take out the camera, the moment is over. 


Here is his second month picture.  You can see how much he has grown! 

Baby smiles a lot, even when he is sleeping! 



 Andrew is getting so good at holding his head up.
 


He still loves to cuddle! 


 Here are some cute photo compilations Tyler put together. 
 



He fits into his 3-6 month clothes perfectly.  What a handsome boy! 



We also have been on some fun adventures this month.  Andrew likes to take walks in the morning with mommy and her friends.  Also we enjoyed national museum day and visited Peterson Air Force Base.  


We have been enjoying the fall weather here in Colorado and went hiking around in the Cheyenne Canyon and Red Rock Open Space.  We used the Moby Wrap and our baby backpack.  





Andrew seemed to enjoy himself.  


What a tiring day! 


We love our silly chubby baby and can't wait to see what the next month brings!

Baby's First Month

Andrew’s first month has been full of firsts for our little guy. 


It was the first time he wore cute baby outfits!



“Hey Mom and Dad! I’m wearing patriotic jail pajamas!” Andrew already is showing his sense of humor.

 First time Andrew did ‘tummy time’


Aunt Cami came to visit one weekend!  We loved having her stay with us.  Andrew loved snuggling with his Aunt. 


Andrew’s first bath after his umbilical cord fell off…. Wasn’t that fun for little Andrew. 


First time Andrew went to church! Look how handsome they both are! 


First time Mom and Dad needed to wake up several times per night.  Naps are nice.  


First time baby peed on Daddy! 


Andrew is now finding bathtime more enjoyable! 


Having Andrew here with us for the first month has been a tremendous blessing for our family.  He brings so much happiness in our home; we couldn’t adore the little guy more.  His sweet personality is coming out more and more and we love getting to know our baby.   

 

Happy One Month Andrew! 


Labor Day weekend was a lot of fun… the Carson home was a full house! We loved having both sets of grandparents, Sam and the Stinson family come visit.  Andrew got to meet a lot really special people! This is the whole group.

On Sunday September 1, 2013 Andrew Graham Carson was blessed in church.   Here he is with his proud papa.  


Here is a good 3 generation picture! Andrew sure does love his grandparents!! 


What a handsome little guy! Andrew wore the same outfit his daddy wore when he was blessed as a baby made with love by his Grandma Carson.  (Special blessing blanket also made by Grandma Carson for all the grandchildren.)



Aunt Lissa got some good snuggle time in with the baby as well.   It was such a nice surprise to have them come for Andrew’s blessing.

September 1, 2013 was also our one year anniversary.  Here we are eating the top of our wedding cake.  



Our first year of marriage has been great! From Alabama to Colorado and now with the new addition to our family- we couldn’t ask for more.  We are most thankful for our temple marriage- it enables us to be sealed for all eternity.
