Baby Carson

We have been very busy at our house these past 2 weeks. Our biggest announcement is that our baby boy has arrived! Carson Dyreng Peterson was born on August 25 at 3 AM. He weighed
7 lbs. 7 oz. He came 2 weeks early and lets just say that I wasn't exactly ready for this early delivery, but I am glad he is here and doing well. He has been such a sweet little baby and we just love him to pieces!



I love this picture of him smiling. He actually smiles all of the time while he is sleeping. It is so sweet!
After we had been home for a few days, I noticed he was yellow. So we had his blood tested and he actually tested quite high for jaundice. So for 5 days we had to put him on the lights. It was very hard to just leave him there all day and not hold him, but I am grateful we are done as long as his count stays low.

A proud Daddy!
Hallee loves her new brother so much! In the hospital she didn't want anyone else to hold him except for her.


Hunter was so excited to hold his new brother. He has been so good to Carson and such a big helper


Hunter on his first day of kindergarten. I can't believe he is old enough for school! Hunter loves school and has been so excited to go every day.
Hallee had a little accident on the trampoline. I don't know why, but she always seems to hurt her cute little face. Hunter and Hallee were jumping a little bit too high and Hallee hit the bar and the springs. She cut her previous scar open a little bit and got a nice big black eye. Poor girl. I don't know what I am going to do with her!
Luckily we didn't have to have stitches again.

Hallee on her first day of dance. She has been so excited about taking dance lessons for a long time. She has done really well in her class and loves for anyone to come and watch her at her class. She can't wait to perform for everybody on the big stage!

OHHHHHH. Do I ever want to jump in the car and drive 9 hours right now!! It would be so worth it to hold that sweet little baby!! He is precious!!! He definately has a look of Adam, but I see a little Travis? Or maybe Jake? when they were babies. Give him a kiss for me...seriously! Do it! I can't wait to hold him.

What a cutie! And what a great name :) I love it! Congratulations! I know what you mean about not being able to hold them because of the bili lights. We had to do the same thing for a week... not fun. Anyway he's adorable and I can't wait to meet him.

I love the pictures. Carson is so cute. I love the smiles too! Glad he's out of the lights. That doesn't sound fun at all. I can't wait to see him in person!

Congratulations guys!! So fun! I knew it was getting close for you. I was actually just thinking about you the other day. He sure is cute. Definitely fits in the family :) Crazy how old they get so fast isn't it. I think the same of Triston in Kindergarten. He just seems so old now.
I don't know how kids do it, but I swear they try to stop themselves from falling or running into things by using their heads. It's the only reason I can think of. My kids are the same way. especially Zack.
