Early Christmas present!

Christmas started a little early for Carson! As a result of him crawling really well and fast, Deda allowed him to open his gift from his Uncle Will and Chaz that he (and me especially) really needed- he got a Jeep Cruiser!

Carson's Dedication

On Sunday, we dedicated Carson to the Lord! It was perhaps one of the most amazing experiances I have had, and often I found myself holding back the tears! Carson, of course, wanted to talk and yell while our pastor was dedicated his Cousin Berkley, but when it was Carson's turn to be held by him and prayed over he was so still and quiet! Is was a great day!

This is a picture of us and the other Beal Family before we dedicated our little ones!

Video of Carson Crawling!!

I finally figured out how to upload a movie! This shows how well Carson is crawling, after he got the hang of it, he acted like his been doing it for years! He's gotten so fast!

Tis the season!!!

Brady and I got A LOT accomplished this weekend! One of the coolest things is that we have our christmas lights up- a first ever for us!!!

This is just one of the many great pictures I was able to snap of Brady!!! He deserves an even bigger pat on the back, because he won our of bet of $50 that he would fall out of the tree! ha ha ha ha

Deda came over for dinner and to watch him while we work, and they must have been missing each other because they were dressed exactly alike!!!

Milestones

The week after Thanksgiving proved to be very momentous week for our family!

1. We packed away all of Carson's newborn clothes...which I know should have happened forever ago, but I knew it would make me cry and was prolonging it as long as possible! Of course, to make me laugh, I made him try on everything again....even if it didn't come close to fitting!

2) At 8 1/2 months old, he finally started sleeping in his own room, I know again should of happened forever ago, but this one really made me cry! He slept perfectly, barely moved, and loved his new bed! But of course, like a crazy loon, I watched his baby montior all through the night....pathetic I know!

3) He started crawling......EVERYWHERE!!! I have learned to keep pants on him no matter what, because he's crawling so fast he's getting rug burn and scrapes! He loves it though, and especially loves getting into everything!

4) He also cut 2 TEETH!!!! Which I doubt I will ever be able to get a picture of, until they grow in a bit!

5) He's started to pull to stand, and stand without assistance! I need to take a picture of that and I will post it!

 

Our First Thanksgiving

Carson had his first Thanksgiving at Deda's a couple of days before actual Thanksgiving! We had the whole fam in and were all able to sit down together- it was awesome!

Then we headed to the ranch!

When we came through the door, we were immediatly greeted by Brookelynn running straight into Nini & Grampi's room, returning with a present for Carson!

They loved playing with the new laughing monkey!

Berkley and Carson got to spend a lot of quality time together hanging out on the pallet!

Carson with Nini almost crawling!!

Thanks to Nana- Brookelynn and Carson got one day where they played the entire time together! They had a lot of fun outdoors, until we got a text message saying we were being to loud while people were deer hunting- and that was the end of outdoor time for that day!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Today we started a tradition! Chopped down our own Christmas Tree...so fun!!!! Carson and I got to pick one out and the boys sawed it down!

Family Picture!

We let Waz do the honors....

....And when we finally got it into our house it was GINORMOUS!!! But very beautiful!!!
