Our Little Monkey

On 8-08-08 Carson turned 6 months old (yes, yes...I know this was almost a month ago...I'm a little slow on the blogging) ! I can't believe how fast time has gone by since he came into our lives. He is such a sweet baby and brings so much joy into our lives. We can't believe how easy he is to take care of and how well he rolls with life. Everyday he is learning and growing so much; it's incredible to see. Here are his latest stats (stole this idea from Becky):

Name: Carson Dee Miles
Age: 6 months and 3 weeks old (as of this post)
Weight: 20.5 lbs
Height: 27.5 inches
Clothing size: 9months
Favorite Foods: bananas, peaches, formula
Favorite toys: exersaucer, stuffed skunk, plastic spoons, and paper towels-loves to rip them up
Favorite People: Mommy, Daddy, Gpa Herget, Uncle J and Aunt Rach

Comforts: binki and blankies
Latest tricks: sitting up by himself, rolling over, grabbing his binki and putting it in his mouth,

Happy Birthday Mike!!! Although Mike was dreading turning 25, his birthday came all the same and by the end of that night he was having a pretty good time. After going to the dentist in the afternoon, we went to dinner with some friends at TGI Fridays, had cake and ice cream back at our house, and then played Settlers of Catan with Ron and Rachel late into the night. Mike said earlier in the day that he felt like he hadn't accomplished much of anything in his 25 years....well I totally disagree!! Here's to you honey...a little reminder of how much you have already done:

1. Graduated early from H.S. with your GED
2. Served a faithful, honorable mission
3. Got married to a wonderful (ahem :] ) woman in the temple
4. Have stayed married for almost four years
5. Gone from part-time to management at Best Buy and support your family
6. Had a beautiful baby boy who's totally in love with his daddy.

We Love You!!!
