Potatoes & bananas & peas, oh my!

Carson has tested out a bunch of new foods in the past couple weeks...avocado, carrots, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, bananas, pears (much needed after the bananas...we'll spare you the details!), & peas! So far, he hasn't spit a single thing out! :)

1st Tooth!

Carson got his 1st tooth on Sunday, November 27, 2011! The bottom right one...and it feels like the left is just around the corner!

Sweet Potato Explosion

Soooo...I made sweet potatoes for Carson this morning and my timing was slightly off when I took the top of the blender off....oops!

Pre-Holiday Craze Baby Palooza

We spent the afternoon at Gainy & Grandan's last Saturday with a lot of the family and other great grandbabies, Gia & Warren. :) Such fun to see everyone and share these moments with the first greats to join our big crazy family!

My new highchair!

5 Month Appointment

Carson weighed in at 14lbs 7oz & measured a whopping 25 inches long today...he is in the 25th percentile across the board!

We have a food lover on our hands!

Carson was begggging (aka reaching, whining, and lunging) for some of our dinner last night (baked potato & salad) so we let him have a taste of the plain potato mashed up. He seems to be very interested in the different textures, tastes, and feelings in his mouth!

Ready, Set, Solids!

Carson ate his first real food this afternoon! He had mashed avocado and seemed to really like it! We can't wait to continue introducing new & exciting veggies & fruits throughout the months to come! (sorry for the long video...we didn't want to miss anything!)

So ready for some avocado!

Carson is sooo ready for solids....he lunges at our food and wants everything we are having! We gave him an avocado to "play with" and he couldn't get enough of it!
Up next...Real bites!

Just havin' some hay!

1st moments with a sippy cup

Carson is loving his new sippy cup! He lovesss chewing on the spout and even though most of the liquid ends up on his shirt, it's great practice & lots of fun! :)

Happy 5 months Carson!

Carson celebrated his 5 month birthday in Laguna Beach! He seems to be verrrry interested in real food now so we're planning on starting solids in the next week or so...stay tuned for pics!
