Chad's Birthday

Today is Chad's birthday and Mason made him a sign for outside the house. He only painted for like two minutes and got sick of it. He didn't care to get dirty. So we hung it up outside for Chad to see. He loved it! Also, Mason helped me frost some cupcakes....well he helped eat the frosting lets say. As for Carson he is sporting the KU gear (well so is Mason too) special for Daddy's birthday! WE LOVE YOU!

Potty

Well Mason is understanding a little more about this whole potty business. So today he says "oh poppy" and ran to my bedroom (where he likes to poo) So I run after him and ask him to go to the big boy potty and he willingly comes. So we get him undressed and on the toilet and he doesn't want to be up there. He wined a bit so I took him off and he asked to get back up. Then again he wined. Then after doing that a few times he wanted his diaper back on and we moved on with our day. He has yet to poo in the diaper since but at least it's a start to the whole potty thing.

Carson 5 months old

I know I am a little behind at updating these pictures. Carson is doing well. He is finally eating Oatmeal once sometimes twice a day. He seems to be enjoying it. He loves to watch everything going on around him, especially Mason. I have to be honest and say that he is not that great of a sleeper. Well compared to how Mason was at least. I did get two full nights sleep out of him this week and I have been trying very hard to get him on a set schedule. Even when he doesn't sleep well or nap well he is a very happy baby. I guess he just doesn't want to miss anything. He is just so much fun and brings a smile to my face everyday!

I'm gonna get you


Carson 5 Months


My favorite pic.


Here is Mason at 5 months. As you can see he had a lot less hair than Carson does at this age. Carson's is coming in very fast. Also, Carson smiles for the camera a LOT more than Mason ever did! To me they are definitely looking much different these days!

Post Family Farm

We went to the Post Family Farm for our friends son Alex's 2ND birthday. It turned out to be a beautiful day. Mason had so much fun on the hayride, picking up pumpkins, and barrel riding. He did not want to leave at all. I literally had to be the mom who picked him up completely off the ground and walked him straight to the car kicking and screaming. I felt bad but he was tired, hungry but having so much fun! Thanks to Nuff and Bri who invited us! I am not sure Alex enjoyed it but we loved sharing the day with him. Oh and Mason still didn't like the animal!! Go figure! They do have sleigh rides in the winter so I can't wait to go back.


Say Cheese!

Hope Conklin

So I started to feel guilty tonight and think I have left Hope out of this website. So I went back through some of my pictures and found some cute ones of her as a pup. Mind you I can't get may pictures of her these days because she is usually hiding from Mason. (Oh and by the way some of the pictures were on our old camera and the quality is terrible. Gotta love technology.)


Just a baby


Her first Christmas at the Conklins


She used to be a lot less hairy!


What a face


Hiding from Mason, and this was after we brought him home from the hospital

4 Month Check up

So Carson's 4 month check up went well. He is now 17 lbs. 8 oz (90%) and 25 and 3/4" (80%). His head is 16.5" (50%). He did have to have 3 shots and one orally. They went pretty good as far as shots go. The first shot he didn't even cry but did for the other too. He was a snuggler after that though.

He is changing so much. He loves to jump in his jumperoo and move himself all over the floor by rolling. He is trying so hard to scoot but hasn't figured it out yet. Today he has discovered that he can stick his tongue out at me and he thinks that's pretty funny and so does Mason.

Carson 4 Months

Carson is a really happy baby. We have been very lucky with him so far. He has been having some issues with sleeping through the night but he just wakes up eats and goes right back to bed. So it's not too bad. He loves to smile and loves to watch Mason all day long. It is so funny because Mason loves him so much. He will stop whatever he is doing and say "brother Kiss" and walk over to him cups his face with both hands and gives him a nice kiss on the lips. It is too cute and funny. Carson is really holding his head up and acting like he wants to sit up on his own but just isn't strong enough yet. I think he may be getting a tooth her soon because he loves to suck on his hands. We go to his check up next week so I'll update with his "stats" then.


What a happy boy


You talkin to me??


What a great smile.


Flying away!!!


Mason at 4 months. I think Carson has bigger cheeks :)

Crazy Mason. As you can tell by the background a tornado came threw that day. And every other day for that matter :)


Carson and Cousin Noah


Laying on the couch with Cousin Meghan. He was so snugly with her that day, too cute


This is what is left of Carson's baby hair. It is in the middle of his head so I guess it makes a good Mohawk. As you can tell he was happy about that look.


Mason is really into books right now, I love it!


Carson and Cousin Easton. This was my first day with all four kids. They really were great for me!
