1st Dr. Appointment

Carson made his first trip to see Dr. Phau. He has gained back all his birth weight plus 9 oz. Along with the gain in length he is now in the 100 percentile for height and weight. The good news is his head is only in the 80 percentile. The Dr. said his heart and lungs sounded great and his color looked good.

Security

Mason and Ally have taken to the little guy. Ally is an old pro ever since we brought Mason home and he never left. I think Mason is still waiting for Carson to leave. None the less I think he has permanent protectors.

First Friends

The Parker Twins, Brennan and Lily. This pair belongs to one of Brenda's oldest friends. I'd like to think Carson was trying to get to know Lily a little better but in reality he doesn't have control of his big head and it just pulled him over.

First Bath

The cord is off so it is time for his first bath. I have to admit something...this is a picture of his second bath. I was so worried about the water temp that I forgot the camera. The 1st and 2nd baths pretty much looked the same...hands up and lots of confusion.

Home, Safe and Sound

So after 2 days in the hospital and clean bill of health we were able to take Carson home. He took immediately to his swing. And yes his hands are that big

HELLO WORLD!!!

Welcome to our lives Carson! I really should have said something profound when he arrived but I could only blurt out "Wow, he's a tank!". 9lb 2oz caught everyone by surprise, even the doctor. Within a few minutes of leaving the warm confines of the womb they had him cleaned, weighed and security tagged. The folks at Mt Carmel East did a great job, especial our labor and delivery nurse Liz. Brenda was real a pro and thanks to some good drugs she knocked it out in under an hour.
