He's ONE!!

Wednesday (9/22) was Mr. C's first birthday!! We had a big day planned. But, as always, we were reminded that plans need to be flexible when you're dealing w/ babies. Or I should say toddlers! :-)

We started the day w/ a present! We got Carson his own chair for his birthday. He can get off the couch easily, but not on. We figured he needed a chair his own size. He's climbed up in it a couple of times so far on his own. Hopefully, he'll like it. It'll be good to watch football in w/ Daddy.

"Thank you Daddy!"


We headed to school - it was picture day! After that, we went to breakfast where Carson chowed down on his very own pancake. He tried eggs for the first time as well, but was NOT a fan.

Yum - pancakes!

We headed back home to try to nap. It ended up being our first day (of several) struggling w/ sleep. We were planning on going to the zoo, but after fighting over napping for what seemed like forever, it was getting kind of late for that. So we gave up on the nap and headed to the park for a bit. He, of course, fell asleep in the car.


He woke up after a bit and played on the swings and slides. Slides were a first for him and he seemed to love them!



We headed home after that and got ready for the hotel. We got a room for the night so we could go swimming and hang out away from home. Carson finally decided to take his nap upon arrival at the hotel. :-)


Finally suited up and ready to swim!

We had the pool all to ourselves! It was definitely the most relaxing time we've had in weeks.

We had dinner and received a balloon delivery from Aunt Mandy and Uncle Bob!

I wish I could say that we enjoyed the rest of the evening, but like I mentioned, we began having sleep issues w/ Carson. Let's just say we had a very rough end to the evening. But otherwise, it was a great day and we had a lot of fun on his birthday! Happy birthday Carson!!
