6 months!

Can't believe our little munchkin is 6 months old. Highlights of the last month include sitting up by himself (for a limited time), eating solid foods (so far we've tried prunes, carrots, bananas and sweet potatoes--all delicious!) and grabbing things and putting them directly in his mouth. He is such a happy little guy--we are truly blessed!

No smiling, I'm tired.

Seriously? More pictures?

Olson's month birthdays need to start falling on weekends so we can get some decent pictures! I'm not sure who is more tired at this point in the day--Olson or Mommy!
That's it! No more, I'm sleepy!!

Thanks Easter Bunny!

After our long drive back to Raleigh from Naples, we were all a little tired on Easter. But Olson rallied and let us put on his cute outfit and take some pictures! Fortunately one last azalea bush held out to help make our photos perfect!
Where's the candy??


I love Easter!
Wait, what's that...
Oh, yeah, those neat feet!! Photo shoot is over!
Ok, one more with mommy

Coming soon...a photo recap of our fun trip to see Grammy in Naples!

Feet and fashion

Olson has discovered his feet! It is so fun to watch him grab at them and hold them. He hasn't tried to put them in his mouth yet, but I'm thinking it is because he has a "slight" belly in his way. Sorry for the red-eyed baby--not our best effort. But you get the point.
Just hanging out in the pack-n-play...

Oh, wait. What are these?

Look, Mom, feet!


And just for cute's sake--this is what I came home to tonight...

Quite the get-up, but how cute is that?

Visitors from St Louis!

We had a fun-filled weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Carson. We were so happy they made the trek from St. Louis, and they were excited to see little Olson!
Enjoying Duke Gardens
Olson checking out his Grandpa
Olson loved talking to his Grandma!


It was a beautiful day, so we drove to Durham and enjoyed walking around Duke Gardens! It was gorgeous with all of the flowers and blooming trees.
Such a fun day!

Family photo (minus Lilly)

Enjoying a refreshing drink while admiring the scenery

Of course there was some jumping involved...

We all went to the farm for Sunday lunch, and Olson had a fun time playing with Uncle Mike!

And some cuteness for good measure

 We love you, Grandpa and Grandma! Thanks for visiting, and we look forward to seeing you in St. Louis in June!
