Carson can walk!



I'm so excited that Carson has started to walk! It's the cutest thing ever!! He just started doing it the last few days. Now, he can take up to 10 steps at a time!

(I can't figure out how to rotate this video)

This week in pictures



We have had a great week! On Wednesday, Erik, Carson, and I went to eat dinner with Steven, Stephanie, and Steven Richard. Steven Richard was so happy the whole time!! He is getting big so fast and is so cute!! Carson especially had fun playing tug of war with Zena!! There is a great video on Steven and Stephanie's blog (www.stephanieandsteven.blogspot.com). On Thursday, we went to Erin and Ed's for some dinner and rockband! It's always a blast when The Hardy Tardies get together!! Friday, we went to Las Rosas with Erik's family. We had a great visit, but I think Carson's favorite part was the ice cream. Yum!!

A Day at the Zoo!



We took a family trip to the zoo today. We took an hour long tour to start the day which ended with Carson getting to touch a real snake!! Then we just browsed around for a few more hours. Thanks again for the zoo membership Grandma! We love it!

Picnic at the Park




Carson and I decided to take advantage of the good weather and go have a picnic. It was a lot of fun!

Happy 1st birthday Evan





We had so much fun at Evan's first birthday party! The Pearland Fire department even came by to wish Evan a happy birthdy. It was so great!

Philidephia with Aunt Carrie




We finally took a trip with Carrie. We went to Philidelphia where she had an 18 hour layover. It was freezing!! Why is it freezing everywhere I go?! We saw all the good stuff though... Benjamin Franklin's grave, Independence Hall, Liberty bell, and Congress Hall. It was a nice short trip.

Trip to Nashville



I had to go to Nashville to interview at Vanderbilt, and Erik and Carson came with me so we made a weekend trip out of it. It was freezing!! We had a lot of fun!

Walt Disney World



I had to go to Orlando for another residency interview, and lucky for me... My mom and Carson could come to. I got out of my interview earlier than expected so we all took an afternoon trip to the Magic Kingdom. It was so much fun! I can't wait to go back!

Winter Puppy-dog Hat



Carson looked so cute in his winter hat while we went for a walk around the block in our neighborhood.

Christmas Day!

Christmas Eve at Uncle Glenn's and Aunt Amanda's!

Playing in the sand



Carson and I made a trip to Austin because I had to interview for residency in Temple. We had a lot of fun visiting with Jess and Austin. Thank you Jess for watching Carson ALL DAY while I had my interview! This was Carson's first time to play in sand. He liked it.

Christmas at Ma and Pa's!



As always, we had so much fun celebrating Christmas and Ma and Pa's house. Carson loved all the presents, but he especially loved playing with the bows. Haha!

Carson and his cousins!

Picture Time!



Thank you Ed for taking so many great pictures of Carson during his first year! You are such a great photographer!

Happy Halloween!



Between family fun day at the police officers credit union, trick or treating to his grandparent's houses, and our church's carnival, we had a busy and very fun Halloween!

Carson Laughing!

We tried to re-create this adorable video that I saw online of a baby cracking up to tearing paper. I thought our version turned out pretty cute!!

Carson has learned to scoot

Happy 1st birthday Austin!




Carson and I had such a fun time going to see Austin for his 1st birthday. The party was really fun and it is always adorable to watch Carson and Austin play together!

Yum... Carson's first taste of real food!

Swimming at Uncle Glenn's and Aunt Amanda's!

Carson was in the pool for like an hour! He was having so much fun. I finally took him out because he was getting all shriveled up, but he would definitely loved to stay in even longer.

Carson can roll over!

He loves his Astros!

Carson Smiling!

Happy Father's day!



For Erik's first father's day, we made a stepping stone with Carson's handprints in it. Thank you Aunt Erin for all your help in make the stone! It is harder to get a 2 month old baby's handprints than I thought!
