Such a Happy Boy

Having a baby has changed me. I've realized a lot about myself, my husband and life. I've managed to conquer the first year and become a much stronger woman that I was before I had Carson in my life. The next 20+ years are going to be filled with more challenges and adventures that will help shape me as a person.

The most common comment I've received about Carson has been:"He's just such a happy, sweet boy!". I love hearing this. It makes me feel like Austin and I have done something right. We are both people who put our best foot forward in any situation and want what's best for everyone. We love Carson so much and try out best each day to make him happy. Sometimes we have to say no and he screams at us, but that's our job too. He can't always watch Sesame Street when he wants to... right?


The world is crazy and busy and full of so many bad things, but having Carson to play with each day makes life and the world look so much better. I'm so grateful for my family. I don't take anything for granted. I've finally learned to live in the moment and enjoy what I have. I don't want anything else. It's a peaceful feeling to get to this point. Just happy in my own space, in my own life, that I created with Austin. I have Carson to thank for helping me to reach this point in my life. He's my happy little boy and it's just so contagious!
