17 Months

This past month has flown by. I can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone already. Matt and I are so thankful that God has blessed us with our sweet baby boy. He has been such a blessing to us both. It is so sweet to watch Carson pray. He folds his little hands together and keeps them folded until we are done praying.

This past month Carson has had some unusual days of bad diapers and throwing up with no fever. He would would not sleep well and then some days he would be really irritable. I think he is getting some back molars. I have lost count of which teeth are new and which ones he has had. He doesn't like for me to look in his mouth and I can't put my finger in his mouth anymore because he thinks it is funny and tries to bite me.

This past month Matt and I watched a documentary called Food Inc. After watching it, we decided to make a couple of changes in our diet. We have started buying more organic foods. We have changed him from whole milk to organic 2% milk. We have also started buying some organic yogurt and bananas. We also plan on buying meat that has not have been raised and processed like most grocery store meat. Buying organic food is more expensive, but better for you and it actually tastes really good. I made some mac and cheese with the milk and well...we had no leftovers.
