Carson's AdventuresTwo days ago, Carson surpassed
the six month mark and celebrated this milestone in Cannon
B
each, OR with the Rahn-Hurt clan. Carson's mom and I journeyed to CB about five years ago returning with fond memories, but a distinct recollection of a cold, rainy February spot. Ah, how the times have changed, but the weather of CB has not. We did not let the damp and windy weather slow us down though, as my sister blogged earlier today, we spent our days braving the elements through several beach walks, a trip to gorgeous Ecola Park where the final scene of Point Break was flimed (if you care), and numerous doses of caffeine that are easily found in the quaint little town
of CB. Trish and I have decided that next time we go there, we will most likely choose a warmer time of year, but regardless, we all had quite the fun time.
Here is the little guy the night before we left for CB. We had to clean him up a bit before we made the trek down to Oregon. Carson had his 6 month check up earlier today. Besides a little fever that has him a bit under the weather, Carson is doing great. His length of 27 inches puts him at about the 90th percentile and his weight of 19 lbs 5 ounces brings him in around the 86th percentile. Carson now enjoys playing with his feet, just about rolls over from his back to his stomach, likes to grab onto our drink glasses, and can hold his own bottle. Once his fever passes, we are going to begin the introduction of some solid foods. His first taste will be the standard rice cereal.
Carson's Adventures Continued.......

The past few weeks have been eventful for
the little turkey baby, as Christi referred to him a few days ago. We were all in for a treat two weeks ago when
my Dad and Joyce came in for a visit. The respective PA and WA clans packed up for a long weekend on Vashon Island at the Point Robinson Lighthouse. This spot is truly one of the best getaways that we have experienced in the Seattle area. You can't beat the convenience to Seattle and the rental home sits right on the water of Puget Sound where you can spend time watching the ships come and go or keepy a lookout for some Orcas Whales. We spent the time doing all of the above while also working in some exploration of Vashon.
Stay tuned for more of Carson's adventures, we are off to the magical land of Spokane this weekend for a visit with the Eastern Washington folks. Can't wait to see you all!
