Carson turns 3 today!!! I look back on the past 3 years and can't believe how far we have come!! Above is where it all started (taken right before the c-section) and I have posted many pictures below to show how far Carson has grown and changed in the last 3 years.
Carson was born on Monday, November, 20, 2006. He was 8 pounds, 5.5 oz. He has been full of life since the beginning. He has always let us know when he wasn't happy. But when he was happy, his giggling and laughing were contagious and we would always join in.
Picture in the hospital. He looks pretty mellow here huh?
Big brother Aidan gets to meet his new brother. Look at those cheeks on Aidan!! :-)
Carson's c-section was scheduled about 2 weeks before his actual due date. This is what we woke up to on his due date, December 1st. Good thing he didn't wait until then!! Every December 1st since Carson was born, we have had a huge snowstorm.
Carson smile is one of his best features. He just pulls you in with that smile. It usually helps him stay out of trouble too!
During Carson's first year or so, he loved to sleep in the stroller. Luckily now he likes his bed!
My little man.
I posted this picture to prove that at some point Carson willingly ate green beans! He is not a fan of veggies (unless they're hidden).
My crawling spiderbaby.
He was always an active eater!
Carson loved his "ba ba". It took some work, but he eventually took it from others. Once he was able to feed himself a bottle, he never dropped it or put it down. As you can see above, this is how he kept his hands free. Strong front teeth!
Carson had several black eyes over his first couple of years. But I think he pulls it off well!
Wondering where Carson went to? Check the fridge! He was busted in this position several times....and he still is!
Carson loves life. He is often seen with a smile on his face and running all around.
He loves donuts! Again, active eater!
Carson loves his big brother and loves spending time with him. Here they are snuggled up in the chair reading books. If you look closely, he has another black eye in this picture too!
Always has a crazy, goofy expression on his face.
Happy face again!
My little Bear fan at Soldier Field. He loved all the action.
Carson on 4th of July 2009. He loved the fireworks and sparklers. He is not afraid to try anything reckless.

Look how much he has grown. He is over 3 feet tall this Fall at the Pumpkin Patch. It is amazing how much our lives have changed in the last 3 years. We went from easy life with 1 son to a crazy life with 2 boys. Carson didn't sleep through the night until about a year so it was a rough start, but we are starting to come out on the other end. We are starting to travel as a family more, do more daily outings, even shopping is easier now.
I can't wait to see what the next year brings for us. Happy Birthday Carson!! Love you!
