“FIRST HAIRCUT for Leo boy,” Carson wrote in the post. “We decided to give him a haircut for his second birthday and I’ve been a mess all morning. Why didn’t anyone warn me how emotional this would be?!! He’s so handsome and grown up.”
She received a ton of love from her friends in the comment section. The dancer later posted now-expired Instagram Stories of herself crying about the haircut with a smile on her face.

“Christmas 2022 was a special one,” she wrote. “I can’t believe how lucky I am to call these boys mine! Grateful for our Savior this day, and every day. Merry Christmas! **Please swipe to see Leo’s mood after the photoshoot.”
Ahead of the photo shoot, Carson shared a 17-week baby bump update with her fans in the form of a video to the tune of Taylor Swift’s song “Sweet Nothing.”
“Baby #2 I love you already! Can’t wait to share the gender with you all!” she posted.
