2 Years Old and 4 Months Week 3

We had bad weather in North Carolina this weekend and I could not stand the thought of being stuck inside with the kids. I talked Drew into taking some time off work and driving us to the beach. We stayed in Islamorado with Drew's brother Zack, Tanisha and Kaia. It was the first time that we had gotten to meet Kaia since she was born just 24 days prior to Carson. She is adorable! Jackson loved giving her kisses. Kaia loved grabbing Carson's hand. Everyone played well together. We got to enjoy the local parks each day. We also fed some really BIG fish called tarpon.

Jackson woke up at about midnight on our drive down. He was a chatterbox until we made it to the keys. Drew and I have never heard so many words come out of his mouth.

Jackson loves an ABC program by Fisher Price that is online. He asks to see the monkey on the computer. It is really cute to see him learning so much.

Carson is eating squash and sweet potatoes. He loves his food. He cries when the container is gone. He is now eating baby food twice a day. He is teething. Hopefully, they will pop through the gum soon.

Carson had pears and bananas this week. He was not a huge fan of the bananas from Gerber but he loves banana mashed in the food processor. Jackson loves to help make baby food. Jackson loves to help in the kitchen! He will even help me wash the dishes and unload the dishwasher. He put the cutting board away in the correct spot. I was amazed.

We have had some cooler weather but I still try to get the boys outside each day. The only days we are inside is when it is raining. Jackson rides his tricycle and Big Wheel around the yard and deck. He loads up his shopping cart with items from the shed or pantry and carts them around the yard. I found all of my canned goods in his shopping cart one day.

Carson is laughing now. He is so ticklish. It is fun to see him giggling.

2 Years Old and 4 Months Week 1

Carson went for his well visit today. He was 25.5 inches long and 16 lbs 11 oz. He is in the 90th percentile for his head and weight and the 75th for his length. I cannot believe that 25% of kids are longer than him!

Carson started whole food today. He had applesauce. He was not real sure about it at first but he was not nearly as messy as Jackson was when he started whole food. Jackson ate half of the container of baby food while we were feeding Carson. I had not planned on buying baby food for two.

Jackson is repeating everything we say. He is obsessed with trucks. He knows that a firetruck says "nee-nah, nee-nah." He got a book for his birthday that makes truck, car and tractor sounds. He looks at it everyday. His other favorite book is one with the alphabet and pictures that go with each letter. Jackson wants his night turtle on every night so that he can see the stars as he falls asleep.
