What a Funny Little Person!

For the last 8 months of Carson's life, as soon as he grew out of that cute like a baby chicken stage, my husband has been known occasionally to exclaim when looking at Carson, "He's just like a little person!" And every day this little person reveals something new and wonderful about himself. It is so much fun, getting to know him. Here are the latest developments:

• He can't say Elmo, so he just calls him "Bob."
• He took two steps without help.
• He said his first swear word, we think (I blame his dad.)
• He stands up on his own unassisted by anything and tries to dance.
• He knows the mechanics of using his spoon, although, it's more of a dip it and lick it off activity.
• He calls his bottle a "ba-coe" or he pronounces it correctly sometimes.
• He gives open-mouthed sloppy kisses on request - sometimes.
• He laughs when he hears others laugh.
• He knows he is not supposed to eat cat food but tries to anyway.
• He likes curry flavor.
• He has learned two signs for sure - hat and dog, and both are words he can also say.
• He loves animals and is not afraid of big dogs even if they are growling.
• He loves the American flag.

Also, we are still finding more great resources for eating dairy free. The latest is this website:
