9 Months

Carson is 9 months old (and about 5 days)
That means we've lived in TX for 8 months now.  Hard to believe. 

In order to celebrate our youngest - and try to keep up with the pictures we took of the older two.  Here are some 9 month pictures of Carson.  I'll have to retake his official 9 month pics for the baby book soon.  My lighting was bad and pictures are blurry, plus he ate my "9 Month" post-it note before I got any good shots.

He's such a sweet boy and gives the best hugs.  He wraps those chubby little arms around your neck and squeezes with all his might.  Especially for his mama. :)  He chases Darby and Kyler around the house, desperate to keep up with them.  And they love him.  They take great pride in making him giggle.  He has an amazing belly-laugh.  He's pulling up, cruising, playing peekaboo, and waving.  We're just hoping for a few more months before he starts walking.

We love this 4-toothed, big grinned, red-headed little man

And on a side note.  SOMEONE that I will not name here has determined that it's time to cut off my baby's precious red curls.  He said he can't decide if he looks like an old man or Billy Ray Cyrus.  I think that's a slight exaggeration.  But I'm hiding the clippers.

ps please feel free to comment about how my son does NOT yet have a mullet and the baby curls need to stay.  His father Someone needs a little convincing.
