Walking and Splashing!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Cheese!



It was a pretty lazy week in the Bobzien house. Carson is just a walking machine. He can even stand up and walk on his own now. He no longer has to pull up on something. He has also started to learn the word "NO." Now when he is not happy with something you are doing he just tucks his chin and starts shaking his head and going "NONONONONONONO." I think it's pretty cute and it's really hard not to smile when he does it.

Tuesday was my 34th birthday day and I must say Carson and Todd did an amazing job. Todd came home early from work (5:30 and for those of you who know Todd and his work hours you understand that 5:30 is pretty early for Todd.) and had pretty flowers and a gift from Carson. When they took me out for a nice dinner the car was full of ballons. TOO FUN! Well we had to cut dinner short ... Carson had other plans for the evening and a nice dinner with live jazz were not on his agenda. Hey, I guess it's just part of having a one year old. I had a wonderful time with my cute little family. Oh! You know when you want a filing cabinet for your birthday you are offical OLD!

As for the weekend we took it easy and enjoyed a relaxing weekend. On Saturday night our dear friends: Lindsi, Rey, Hang, and Matt took us out for dinner for my birthday. It is always nice to spend time with close friends. Carson once again had other plans for dinner so Todd and I took turns hanging out with Carson and the Valet Guy. Dinner was nice and Thank You Guys!

I have a video clip of Carson playing in his bath. He is not splashing like he was earlier but it's still pretty cute! Enjoy!

Good Golly Miss Molly

Carson and Molly all washed up and ready for a movie.

PS ... I love him in his big boy pj's.

Our new little pet.

Carson loves it when Daddy pushes him.

I just had to and I promise I will never do it again.

Molly came to Dallas this weekend to visit. We had a wonderful time. We were able to do some shopping and even had time to get our nails done. Carson really like having someone else around the house.

We Have A Walker!

It's official Carson is walking. In the past week he has really just taken off. He can walk by himself and with his walking toys. It too cute. He is just so proud of himself. He walks around with this big smile on his face. Todd and I are pretty excited too.

Lumpy Oatmeal to a Lumpy Bump

Eating crackers with Daddy

It has kind of been a crazy week. Carson found out that he loves oatmeal which is great. But there is one problem … he won’t let me feed him … so he feeds himself the oatmeal which has a very messy outcome. It took awhile to get all the oatmeal out of the bathtub. I have now found oatmeal bites that Carson can feed himself and is not as messy.

Todd and I call it “poltergeist.” It’s when Carson moves all the chairs in the kitchen. You leave the kitchen and they are all under the table just looking perfect. Before you can blink all the chairs have been moved all over the kitchen a few may even end up in the entry way. It reminded us of the kitchen chair scene from the movie “Poltergeist.”

Todd and Carson were out in the yard watering all our plants … it seems like we are always watering. With the 105 days we have to keep up on it so all our landscaping doesn’t die. Well anyways they were playing around with the water hose and Carson fell over. He got his first real scrap and bump on his forehead. Being the big boy he is he cried only for a little while and got back to playing.

Friday, Carson and I joined some of the members of our playgroup at a local petting zoo. We went in the morning so we could beat the heat. Carson really enjoyed it. The animals were very sweet. I wish I could have taken some pictures but the battery was dead in our camera. I guess we will have to do it again. Carson really enjoyed seeing all his friends. He recognizes them now. It’s really sweet.

There is one sad note from this weekend. On Friday night, Lindsi, Rey, Carson, Todd, and I plus Gigi and Oscar (Matt and Hang’s dogs) all loaded up into one SUV and headed to Oklahoma City. We were all there for Nga’s funeral. Nga was our neighbor Hang’s little sister. She was a wonderful and beautiful person and we were all very blessed to have known her. We will miss her very much.

My Busy Boy!

Lauren and Carson

Someone needs some more leg room.

Carson can't wait till he is one and his car seat can be turned around.

I LOVE STUFFED PEPPERS!

Since we have been back from The Early Family Vacation Carson has been a busy boy. When we got home he had to play with all of his toys of course. Tuesday morning we watched Carson’s friend Lauren while her mommy had a long doctor’s appointment. Lauren was such a big girl and very easy to watch. Carson loved having someone to play with. Then the next morning he woke up with a fever and was not feeling so well. He wanted to play so bad but he just did not feel well enough to play. Within a few days he was feeling better and back to being a busy boy. His new thing is pushing the chairs around the kitchen. I have added a video clip … sorry it’s sideways. Also we found out that Carson loves stuffed peppers. They were a little messy and so was he but, it was just too cute to watch.

Dancing in her pink shoes ... We will miss you Nga!

Our good friend Nga (Hang's sister) has gone to be with God. As Hang says "She's dancing in Heaven." We will miss her. :(
