I'm in love with a boy...
Our little man is 15 months old and his motto is "game on!"
He is everywhere, into everything, and discovering all sorts of new things daily. He has really enjoyed our Christmas tree this year. We've caught him double fisting glass ornaments and have had a few causalities. He is ALL boy! He loves to throw anything he can get his hands on. His favorites are: my cell phone, the TV remote, plastic bottles and plastic bowls.
He's also learned several new words...his favorite words are "banana" and "ni ni" (for bedtime). He is still the biggest waver-- will wave at anyone that looks at him....so cute.
His 15 month stats:
Height: 29.75 inches (22%)
Weight: 22lbs., 1.5oz. (23%)
Head circumference: 18.5 (53%)
Here are a few cute pics we caught this month. Really and truly, my mission is just to keep him alive right now. Fortunately, I know this is a stage and not something that lasts forever...but he's so darn cute I don't even mind!
Loves, loves, loves baths and throws a huge fit every time he is taken out.
Splish, splash
The boys are having so much fun together
I love making a mess!
Cutie on the go...
He's quite the little poser
This is Carson to a "t." He LOVES spinning wheels and he always crosses his feet. I love his little toes.
And finally, my favorite....what a little mac daddy!
No he isn't auditioning for Chippendales...this was a pic of mommy trying to get him undressed after his dedication. He was on the go so much I had to grab him in phases. HA!

Checking myself out in the mirror. Do I look okay ladies?

How precious are my babies?! I had to post these if for no other reason, to show Alex someday that she DID adore playing with her little brother and even playing in the tub! She continues to blow me away with her love for Carson. Yesterday she asked me if we could wake him up from his nap so he could take a bath with her. Aww. Just had to share these priceless photos.
Alex, mommy didn't photoshop these pictures. You REALLY did this...and you loved it!

Thanksgiving '09
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We were fortunate to celebrate with both of our families.
Part 1: We spent the day with the Wagners, Cottiers and Morans in Farmersville, Texas. I have to say it was one of my favorite visits. Everyone was so gracious, helpful and laid back. The kids had a blast and boy did we enjoy an amazing feast! My fam can cook it up. Here are pics from our day in Farmersville:
Alex & Thomas were best friends. I love this picture. So precious.

Alex & Thomas checking out the lizard tank.
My sweet daddy loving on his girl.
There is always one "turkey casualty"-- my dad has become the sleeping Grandpa. Ha!
Mel and Cindy
Genie was great and helped Alex & Thomas with all of the animals
This picture makes me melt. My sweet grandmother and my precious daughter share a moment.
Dang, my boys are hot!
Jake & Noelle (Stuart's kiddos)
Moran girls
Mel with Noelle, the bride-to-be
We steal a moment with Carson. He was all over the place!
Natalee Grace is getting so big. What a doll.
Nikki & Carson - she has a gift with the little ones.

Stuart and his "little girl"- awww.
These two are nothing but trouble!
Part 2: Since the kids were out of school all week, the Darby crew decided to get together early and enjoy a week at the cabin. We met DeDe & Pops and Andrea with her 3 sons at the "little cabin in the woods" on the White River reserve in Arkansas. Nathan stayed behind to work and I have to say it was one of the LONGEST drives of my life. I was glazed over when we finally arrived but it was so so worth it! We had the best week. It was so great to get away from it all. No technology, no stress...just nature and playtime. The kids were in heaven. Deb & Darby just built a new addition to the cabin... a room that sleeps 12! This became the playroom for the kids which we loved, and so did they. Caden, Dru & Eston are the best cousins a girl could ask for. They are always so kind to her and take her in. Alex can definitely hold her own with them too which makes it nice. They tought Alex to build a mean fort. All of the kids loved playing with Carson too. He was all over the place. He spent the day "mall walking" around the entire house. We made smores around the campfire, did several fun art projects and the mommies made custom coasters while the kids slept. Nathan and AJ joined us later in the week which was so much fun. It made the holiday perfect. The meal was to die for and the week away was just what our family needed. I was SOOO happy to have Nathan with us for the drive home!! Happy Thanksgiving to all. We have so very much to be thankful for. 
Carson shows off his mad walking skills
Aunt Onnie gave Carson the coolest shirt. It says "my aunt rocks." She does rock!
Alex and DeDe patiently watch the shrinky dinks together
Cute girls
I love his big brown eyes!!!
All of the kids huddle around the oven to watch the shrinky dinks
Alex shows off her butterfly creation. Love her Princess Leia hair.
Daddy gets some cuddle time in with his princess
Alex was all over the pumpkin pie...and the whipped cream!
As usual, "the tank" put away more food than anyone can comprehend. Where does it go??
Carson enjoying the outdoors
I adore this picture of DeDe and Carson. I was sitting on the porch and just watching them together. It was a sweet moment.
Daddy & Alex practice "sic 'em bears"
Daddy carries a reluctant princess to bed. She was NOT happy. HA!
What a wonderful holiday. We are so blessed to have our amazing families. Thank you all for an incredible Thanksgiving!
