Happy One Month

Hard for us to believe, but Carson is already one month old. He went for his checkup on July 3rd and weighed in at 11 lbs 1 oz, though you can add a few more ounces to this because he was quite hungry at the doctor's office.

Here are the highlights from last week. Bill took his parental leave, so he was home the whole week and it was fantastic to have his company (Carson thinks so, too).

Bill got in some early morning dancing and singing with Carson, giving me another two hours of sleep


We went on long walks every day with Carson. These pictures are from a short walk just to the beach where we tried out the Bjorn.




A few friends came to visit, so Carson got dressed up in his fancy outfit from Rachel


David and Carson


Stephanie and Carson (both of them look a little scared, right????)


Carson got dressed up in his red white and blue for the Fourth


We watched the Marina del Rey fireworks from our balcony on the 4th of July. Carson liked the beginning but fell asleep for the finale. Here it looks like Laura's got a brilliant idea


Laura did a better job capturing the fireworks


Finally, for those that are still paying attention, Carson has started to smile. The newborn smile proves a bit elusive, so this is the best shot we could get. Still pretty fun if you ask us!
