Whitakers

I recognize that I am a little behind on my blogs and I received a request to update some things. First, I added some new videos because Carson is a walking man now. I also added pictures under "1 year" and under "Professional Pictures". Check all that out. The news on our end is that we continue to enjoy a healthy, energetic child. Carson is a little peanut but walking and talking like a toddler. He weighed 21 pounds at his 1 year checkup and I cannot remember his length but he went up a percentile in that category. He now has six teeth, so eating is getting a little easier. Ryan and I are really enjoying Carson right now and have had the opportunity to take him to some fun places. We have gone to two White Sox games (one in May and one in June). He did pretty well and the stadium is very child friendly. He got a ball at the first game from a closing pitcher from Cleveland and then got four autographs from White Sox people at the second game (Crede, Konerko, Quintin and a coach). Last weekend Carson, Oliver and Ivy spent the weekend with Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Steve. Ryan and I went to Cedar Point and then a Cleveland Indians game. We also were able to spend some time with Adam and Lisa, which was great! Here is a funny story from this morning. Oliver was relaxing on the dog couch and Carson was petting his head. I looked over again and watched Carson put his pacifier in Oliver's mouth. Oliver kept it there for a few seconds and it was in straight and everything. That would be a great picture if I could get that to happen again! In other news... I will be starting a new job in August. I will be a therapist at Valparaiso University and will also coordinate their drug and alcohol education programming. I am so excited to work with college students and will also have my summers off starting next year! The perks are great. I believe those are the updates for now, but I am sure there will be more fun happenings as the summer progresses.
