FIRST STEPS & WRITING MILESTONES


The past week has been an exciting one with cool milestones for both of our boys. Carson has been taking his first steps and is sure to be walking around pretty good by Thanksgiving. Jackson has been writing his name and doing a great job with learning his letters. On Friday, Jackson brough the envelope pictured here to his Daddy and explained that he had written a letter to him. Check it out! He did a great job writing his name all by himself. Jackson also received his first ever "report card" this week and it was exciting to see the the teacher had rated him outstanding in every single category, and had written: "Jackson is wonderful!" in the comments section. He loves his new school and is obviously doing awesome.

Mr. Carson has been taking 3-4 steps at a time this week and really seems to be enjoying his new abilities. Here are a couple of pictures of some of his first steps, taken today 11-13-05. He has been speaking with more clarity now, saying most commonly "Dada", "Mama", and "kitty". I have also included the "traditional" 10 month picture, actually taken 11-5-05.

The boys are the ones providing all the excitement around here, so clearly they deserve to dominate recent headlines of TWN.

Halloween 2005

Happy Pranks and Candies!! It was Batman and Robin as the brothers had their first Halloween together. One might have thought that it would have been Batman played by the elder with the sidekick of Robin as a little one, but that was not to be the case! Next year "The Carse" will get to participate in the pumpkin carving, but for his first time, he was relegated to the role of spectator.
