He's Got His Mom's Moves

Say Cheese

The other night, I was trying to get Karson to stay still for at least 5 seconds so I could take his picture. I would say "Say Cheese" and he would make this hilarious face!

He has started to really like books, points at animals and tries to make their sounds.

KK has discovered a variety of new places to sit. He likes to sit on our bed, couch or chair. He can't quite crawl up by himself yet but it won't be long. When he was with G & G Wersal a few weeks back he found my old rocking chair from when I was a little girl. He crawled in and out of it all day long.

Grandma Sandy came out to our house Friday night. She kindly brought us KFC, played with Karson and gave him a bath. It was a nice break for us. I spent Friday home with Karson as he woke up at 4am that morning with a high fever, very irritable, etc. I took him to the doctor, had a start of an ear infection and cold. He's much better now.

KK loves to play ball and he's got a great arm already. He's going to be the next big Twins star - and for those family members who cheer for the Yankee's - boo!! Thumbs down!

Manners

We have been working with Karson to try to use silveware and not to dump the food off the plates and out of the bowls onto the floor. So far - it's about 50% successful. When he can't get it out with the fork, spoon or his fingers...he just puts the bowl up to his face and licks it out.

One Year Old

O'Neil Family Visit

Great Grandma Rosanna, Grandma Pat and Karson

Pete's cousin Elizabeth, husband Anthony and their son Tyson (11 months) were here for the weekend to visit and stayed with us. Joining them were many of Pete's family from MN, AZ & WI. We all had a great time watching the little boys and catching up.

Karson & Tyson jabbering to Duke

They thought it was kind of fun to look through the railing upstairs.

Anthony and Pete must have been attempting to teach the boys to wrestle each other.

No Fear

Karson stands up on his scooter, very daring like. One day last week, I took my eye off of him for 30 seconds. When I looked back at him, he had the scooter up next to the hutch, was standing on it and digging in the candy dish! Smart lil' cookie! We have been trying to correct him and get him to learn what "no" means. He does alright half the time, the other half he just ignores us or smiles slyly and keeps doing what he's not supposed to. I can tell this is going to take some major efforts. He hasn't really started to say any definite words yet, at least that we can make out. He looks at us jabbering for lengthy times and talks as if we should understand him.
