I won't post about Carson's sleep anymore (ok ok, he slept again for 12 hours with one brief feed at 3:30am). I love putting him down for a nap. I can read him like a book - I can tell exactly when he gets tired and I put him down right away. He makes a few cries of protestation but then he just closes his eyes and he's off to dreamland. He's exactly the same at night - even though we try and keep him up an extra 15 minutes to try and get his bedtime later then 7.

Carson laughs all the time now. My heart melts every time he does it. We have tons of toys, but the two that really make him laugh are these:




It's so amazing that he recognizes Jeff and I now. If I've put him in his chair while I start to make dinner, do laundry or anything and I come back to himn - he gives the biggest smiles. This morning, I put him on the bed while I got dressed and he was just lying there laughing - happy to be in the same room as his mommy and daddy. Jeff mooned him the other night, and he laughed. If you massage his legs and move them in the bicycle motion - he laughs. If you pull him up with his arms, to stretch, he laughs. When he's lying on the couch with his Daddy, he laughs.

I know he's only going to start laughing more and more, and I can't wait. I never really have my camera around when we are doing these things, but I'm trying to keep the camera around with me to capture these moments.
