The Thomas Family: 15 months-old

Well, for the first time in 15 months, I just realized that I didn't take many pictures this month. This month has flown by and everyday I watch Carson learn something new. Today, he learned that Mommy keeps cool things stored under the bed. So...Carson decided to drag it all out. It didn't add much to the clutter as we are in the process of moving so boxes are starting to stack up, and the things you don't know how to pack are just making there way to the corner. This month we were blessed with the visit from my college roommate and her husband, Kelly and Craig. I can't thank them enough for putting up with us. During the week they were here, we bought a house, sold a house, and cared for a sick baby! Not sure it was much of a vacation for them, but for me, it was such a blessing to have extra hands. You know you have great friends when they will hop up off the couch and start taking out toys, lighting candles, opening blinds, turning on lights, putting away all of their luggage, and doing it with a smile when a potential buyer was about to be at the house. God has blessed me so richly. We were all sad to see them go and little Carson had obviously gotten used to them "living" here. On the Monday morning after they left, I opened the guest room door. He ran in there, looked around, opened the closet door, and then came and looked at me with a very puzzled look and lots of sounds. He may not have had the words, but I have no doubt he was looking for his friends.

This month, Carson has his front top two teeth in and is getting at least 2 others if not more. He is growing daily, especially in the belly. He loves to eat! He had grapes for the first time yesterday, and you would have thought it was his birthday. He loves trying new things. For the first time this week, he also had lasagna. He loved it! My favorite thing this month is that he is singing. He sings his version of "Clean up", "B-I-B-L-E" and "Old McDonald". No he doesn't have all of the words, but he does have some, and he has the tune. Carson has also started to climb this month. He has figured out how to get on his stool, stand up, and get various objects off of the changing table. So...here is the little man. The first pictures are of him in the backyard. It has been so nice outside so we have taken advantage of it. He is still not sure what to think of grass, but other than that he LOVES staying outdoors!
