It has been a long, tiring 7 days since our little "Mr. Burns" (I know it's kinda mean but I think he looks just like Mr Burns from the Simpson's, minus the pointy nose) joined our family.
I am extremely happy to report that he has been an excellent baby. Which has been an immense blessing since him and I have spent most of the last three days back at Kadlec. On Tuesday morning my Grandpa had a major heart attack and things are still pretty touch and go. We've spent as much time as possible (huge THANKS to Kim and Katie for babysitting) with our family sitting with him as he's trying to recover. Carson has now spent more time at the hospital than he has at home! He had his first check-up today with his regular Dr. and he now weighs a whopping 6 lbs 1 oz.! I still cannot get use to his littlness. He weighed 6 lb 7oz at birth and had dropped to 5lbs 14oz before we brought him home, so he's gaining, it's just slow going.
I am also happy to report that Big D, or Big Delores (remember the playground bully from Hope Floats?) is adjusting well to the little guy.
She has been way more gentle than I thought she would be with him, but not so much with the other kids. The other night she took on Aubrey in a fight over a ball. Being the completely irresponsible parents we are, we cracked up laughing instead of dealing with the situation. Next time you see Rachael, ask her do to her Big D impression, it's great. Seriously though, she is becoming this absolutely adorable little girl that I love to be around and I can't wait for a few more weeks so I can pick her up and squeeze her!
And thanks to this little guy and his rock hard head, my little guy looks like this...
Spencer is also adjusting well to our baby Carson but not so much to all the new 'equipment' in the house. I have twice found him cutting up nursing pads saying, "Look Mom! I made cotton candy!" The second time he did it I reminded him that it wasn't a good idea and he replied with, "Well, it was already out and on the ground." Apparently he considered it free game since it wasn't in the box!

Ok, now that you mention it, there is a Mr. Burns resemblance, but I still love him no matter how he looks. You tell that little bully of yours that she better watch it, I WILL take her on! She has already taught our innocent little Colton some bad habits, look at Spencer's eye!
He's so gorgeous, I just want to hold him so bad! My mom is keeping me up to day on Uncle Pete, please give him a big kiss and hug for me and know that I'm thinking of you guys constantly.
Ouch! Those Sanders kids and their huge heads!
Okay, I totally laughed at the Big Delores reference because I just watched Hope Floats the other day. So funny.
I'm so glad for you that he's a good baby. So sorry about your grandpa. How hard for that to happen right now.
Congrats! He's sweet looking not at all like I pictured after hearing the Mr Burns thing. Glad Sophie is liking her. Happy Anniversary!...and I hope everything goes well with your gpa. If you guys need anything at all I am home doing nothing 90% of the time especially with Aaron working graves now.
Your baby is beautiful! Well, all your kids are - colorful eyes and everything. ;) What happened?
What a shiner!!! Thanks for letting me see that adorable baby boy for just a few minutes. I hope you are doing well, sounds as if things are a bit crazy at your house.
Good to see you still beat your children.
