21 Months-Old

It is hard to believe that in 3 short months our little man will be turning the BIG 2!  I know that I say it every month, but time flies!  This month has been filled with so many moments to remember that it is hard to write them all down.  First and foremost, we said our good-byes to Brandon's Granddaddy and Carson's Great-Granddaddy.  He will be greatly missed!!!!  I am sure that Carson won't remember this so I hope that by writing it down he will know that his Great-Granddaddy was the one to give him his first pair of boots!  This was a tradition that started with Brandon and has been carried down.  Brandon has many great memories of growing up with his Granddaddy and since I have been around so long, I have my own list started.  One thing that I appreciated about Granddaddy was his concern for my Pappa.  Granddaddy and Pappa only met once, I believe, but it was like they had known each other forever.  Granddaddy always asked me about him and had genuine concern for him when he was sick.  I can only imagine the stories that they are now sharing!

The thing that I want to remember this month about our little man is all of the funny things he has said.  Being a speech pathologist, I am sooooooo interested in language development and Carson seems to amaze me daily. 

This month....

1. Carson started learning how to sing in a deep voice and a high voice.  He dips his chin in his chest, puffs out his lips, and sings the ABC song.  So...funny!

2.  Using his "deep voice", he came around the corner the other day and said, "Daddy, Tickle Monster coming!"

3.  Yesterday, Carson listened to his "Carson" c.d. at the computer.  I had briefly left the room, and I returned to him blaring out "Jesus Loves Me" saying all of the words perfectly. 

4. Carson has started mimicking everything that we say..some of my favorite new words are "actually" and "probably". 

5.  Carson continues to love mowers, measuring tapes, weed eaters, edgers, cement trucks, front end loaders.  Everytime we are in the car, we are on a constant hunt for these things.  He asks over and over and over, "Where's mowers?"

6.  Carson loves his family and friends...he is constantly asking for different people.  He especially has a love with KK.  We had to call her on Skype the other night.  The two of them made "soup" through the computer.  He just doesn't understand why she can't just come over!  I am so thankful to have a little boy who genuinely loves others. 

So...this month the blessings continue...what a MIGHTY GOD we serve!
