Busy week...

Monday Carson had his six month check up (he's actually seven months old but we've been a month behind ever since his hospital visit). Here are his stats: 16lbs 11oz and 26 7/8". The Dr. was impressed that he was able to reach for his pacifier and put it in his mouth. He is soooo close to crawling... he gets in the crawling position, scoots and pushes off from his toes. Any day now... He had his immunizations and was terribly fussy for two days. This little guy is the most mild-mannered, happy baby so having a fussy and needy baby for two days was different. Luckily, today he's back to his happy self!

Last week we had a fun "mini" vacation. We drove up to Palmyra, NY and went to the Hill Cumorah pageant. It was a lot of fun, but both Justin and I were exhausted. We both ended up falling asleep toward the end of the pageant. Averie had a nap on the way up and was refreshed and thrilled to be in New York. She kept telling us that when we get to NY she's going to see Jesus. I told her that it will not be the real Jesus because Jesus is in Heaven and she said "Uh-uh, Jesus is in my heart".

We also went to Niagara Falls. I'm so glad we did, it was amazing! The drive from Palmyra to Niagara Falls was 1 1/2 hours. We had a package of Oreo cookies to snack on during our drive. I found myself mindlessly eating cookies and decided I should put them on the back seat to get them away. We arrived at Niagara Falls and Justin and I jumped out of the car to get the stroller ready and the kids out. As I reached in to unbuckle Averie I saw the cookie package and reached in to find ALL but four cookies were missing the cream! When I looked at Averie and asked why she ate only the cream out of the cookies she very matter of factly replied "Because I don't like the black part."

We took a lot of pictures but I haven't downloaded them from the camera yet. Watch for another post to come soon with pictures.
